A shoe within a shoe. That was the original concept for the Pierced Mule and Pierced Slingback when they first walked the runway for Spring 2023 and quickly became TikTok darlings. “The idea was: a thong sandal on a shoe,” said ELIZABETH BENZING, Sr. Design Director, Footwear, referring to the leather toe loop that secures the mule or sandal to the foot.   The structure creates a kind of Matryoshka doll effect with the one shoe nestled in another. And as with nesting dolls, the concept contains multitudes, including the latest iteration: the Pierced Mule Wedge, now in stores and on our global e-commerce sites.   A chic evolution of a bestseller, this slip-on with a rounded toe and expanded cut-out upper nods to The Gilder Center, the sculptural new wing of the American Museum of Natural History and the setting for the Spring 2024 runway show where the shoe debuted. “We really studied the architecture,” noted Ava Zhu, Senior Designer, Footwear, who worked with Tory and Liz on this piece.    Like its predecessors, the Pierced Mule Wedge is detailed with the metal hardware that creates the illusion of a toe ring. As Tory told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year when she included the Pierced Mules on her list of five ‘must-haves’: “Toe rings have never been my thing, until now.” #teamtory #design
