Alaïa Ballet Flat Leather Black

The Alaïa Ballet Flat in black leather is a precise, considered shoe that reflects the house's approach to cut and fit above surface decoration. Azzedine Alaïa's vision for footwear centred on the relationship between the shoe and the foot, and the ballet flat format distils that into its simplest expression. The black leather gives the flat a clean, versatile foundation that works from morning through evening without adjustment.

The leather upper and sole are checked for scuffing consistent with the pair's stated condition.
