The Soho flagship of the Italian-based, French-designed footwear label is the first U.S. location of the somewhat edgy brand, which was previously only available stateside in department stores. In the high-ceilinged, sprawling space, the shoes are lined up horizontally against the white-washed walls—leather and suede platform heels adorned with buckles, chains and studs sit alongside strappy sandals, booties, and myriad cowboy and biker boots. The buckled men’s and women’s sneakers the brand is best known for are also displayed throughout the store in washed canvas, leather, and denim; kids have miniature version of the signature sneakers to choose from along with a selection of studded boots. Not to be overlooked: the array of chic Italian leather handbags, accessories, and jackets that hang from hooks on the walls that are strewn between the shoes. — Samantha Zalaznick
