Bubblegum-Scented Jelly-Like Loafers

Melissa's Royal Loafers Undergo a Makeover by UNDERCOVER

— May 2, 2024 — Fashion
Jun Takashi's UNDERCOVER imprint works together with Melissa once again following up on their link-up from 2023 with elevated iterations of the Royal Loafers. The silhouette by Melissa gets a new visual design that boasts a jelly-like aesthetic throughout the upper. It also rests on top of the dramatic platformed base foundation, adding more inches to the lug soles.

The uppers are slightly translucent and it is made using Melissa's eco-friendly jelly material. The stacked silhouette is available in four colorway options. This includes the bolder tone of pink or a more muted smokey shade of black. UNDERCOVER also shines a spotlight on the Melissa Patty mule in the same design aesthetic. Additionally, it boasts a bubblegum scent to add to the candy style.
