Call it a comeback! Latto, Nicki Minaj, Skai Jackson and More Rock Archive Versace Spring 2010 High Heels
The girls are bringing back bold footwear, nothing like the statement shoes that the iconic Versace spring 2010 high heels say.
With their futuristic color blocking, sculptural shapes and heights, these shoes define a bold era, and now they are back within everyone’s reach. Should we revisit this bold era of footwear? Let’s see how today’s stars design them.
Latto performed at Versace’s YFN Lucci & Friends Welcome Home Concert in spring 2010 at the 2010 spring ready-to-wear boots paired them with a sleek off-shoulder LBD, Hello Kitty Keychain on her pink Chanel flap bag and layered diamond chains. The hypnotic black and white geometric print of the boots puts the stage on the heart stage, proving that sometimes the shoes are clothes.
Nicki Minaj slipped into her Versace geometric heel satin sandals, the $1,125 archive she made her debut in 2011. At that time, she wore them in a leather jacket, fishing nets and platinum blonde bangs. Ten years ago, the fashion bombs covered the appearance every day – so which era did the Nikki era like?
Skai Jackson paired with Denim’s stylish denim with her Versace Rainbow Platform swinging button-style mini dress. Bold sandals with neon green heels, sky blue platform and pink accents are perfectly balanced with her structured mini and glittering fuchsia mini bags. She looks young but nods to the nostalgia of the early 2010s.
Skai’s friends cut dark denim and matching jackets from the same series of rainbow platforms, highlighting the versatility of these statement heels. By keeping the palette smooth and neutral, she allows the color platform to pop up, creating a modern yet retro-inspired atmosphere.
Jayda Cheaves brings the sultry edge of the Archive Versace spring 2010 lineup designed by Barberose. She paired the bold orange snake boots with curved tangled python pants and textured fur finish. The blushing slit Chanel flap bags and oversized tones add a luxurious touch, while diamond jewellery enhances the ensemble with modern charm.
The complexity of these shoes – geometric shapes, color-strapping and exaggerated outlines – brings us to the era when footwear pushes boundaries and defines the entire look. With Latto, Nicki and Skai, breathing new life into these archive Versace designs, the question is clear: Should we bring back bold footwear?
