Sole Stories

Welcome to Sole Stories

Welcome to Sole Stories, our new series exploring the character, essence, and personality behind the shoes in our collections. Through the personification of each style, we’re bringing its spirit to life and offering a little inspiration for discovering which shoe feels most like you and the kind of energy it can bring into your life.

Because this is our Fall 2026 collection, a few of our Sole Stories questions take inspiration from the season: autumn nights, city escapes, cocktails, and the characters we become when we slip into a pair of shoes that makes us feel a little different.

Meet the White Zebra Stiletto

Our new Limited Edition White Zebra Stiletto has a personality all its own. It’s the kind of shoe you put on when you want to step into a different version of yourself, the one who walks a little taller, commands a room, and never goes unnoticed. Fierce yet sophisticated, this statement-making style brings a touch of edge to an otherwise effortlessly chic silhouette. It’s made for the woman who struts with confidence, recognizes character, and isn’t afraid to make an entrance.

And while zebra print may feel like a bold choice, its beauty lies in its versatility. Pair it with denim for an unexpected everyday statement, dress it up for an evening out, or let it take center stage with your favorite occasion look. It’s more wearable than you might think, and far more versatile than an animal print gets credit for.

So, what exactly is the personality behind our White Zebra Stiletto? Keep reading to get to know the newest member of our Fall 2026 collection and discover whether the White Zebra Stiletto might just be your sole mate.

The Sole Profile

Which television character would wear this shoe?

Without a doubt, this shoe was made to be worn by Samantha Jones from Sex and the City. It’s fierce, it commands attention, and it’s unapologetically bold. Imagine Samantha strutting into a PR meeting, winning over the client within the first ten minutes of her presentation, walking out feeling victorious, and then grabbing Cosmos with the girls at the hottest new bar downtown. That is what these shoes are for. They’re for whenever you need to feel like a powerhouse who also knows how to have fun, a woman who can do it all, just like Samantha Jones.

What cocktail would best be enjoyed wearing this shoe?

If you’re wearing this shoe, you’re probably ordering something like a passionfruit martini. It has a sharp, classic silhouette, but of course, it’s anything but conventional. The passionfruit brings just the right amount of sweetness, color, and unexpected flair.

What design style would the person wearing these shoes decorate their apartment according to?

These shoes would fit perfectly into a Parisian maximalist apartment. Think sculptural furniture, vintage art, velvet detailing, darkly stained wood, and unconventional decor pieces that define the space. This is the apartment of an eclectic world traveler, a carefully curated combination of taste and intrigue, as far from beige minimalism as possible.

How would someone wearing this shoe spend a Friday night?

The chic woman wearing this shoe always has a plan for her Friday night. She’s getting ready with Sade playing a little too loudly while she paints on a smoky eye and dark lip. Then she’s meeting her girls for dinner at the new Michelin-starred fusion restaurant that just opened downtown, where they’ll split the most decadent appetizers made with ingredients none of them can pronounce. After dinner, they’re heading to the city’s newest jazz bar to settle in for the evening: low lighting, velvet booths, delicious drinks, and live jazz with the girls. Chic. Nonchalant. Effortlessly cool.

What is this shoe’s biggest green flag?

The beauty of this shoe’s energy is that it is unapologetically bold. It’s the sort of heel you put on and instantly feel like a badass. You can strut into a room and try to blend into the crowd, but these shoes aren’t going to let you. They’re going to make an entrance, become a statement, and loudly announce: “I am here.”

If someone wearing these shoes were to walk into a room, what song would start playing?

No question. When you walk into a room in these shoes, Maneater by Nelly Furtado starts playing. If there were ever a shoe for a girl-boss, maneater, badass entrance, it’s these zebra stilettos.

What hobby does the owner of this shoe probably have?

The beauty of the woman who wears these shoes is that she’s multifaceted and always full of surprises. Ask her what she’s up to and she might tell you she’s jet-setting to Spain on Monday and attending a fashion show in Singapore on Thursday. She keeps you on your toes. And although her calendar is packed with travel, work, dinners, and social events, she’s always making room to learn something new. Her latest hobby? Learning another language to add to the ever-growing list of languages she already speaks. Because why not be a polyglot, too?

What vacation are these shoes being worn on?

These shoes are being worn on a girls’ trip to Buenos Aires, because of course they are going somewhere rich in culture, overflowing with things to do, and anything but a conventional travel destination. They’re coming along for incredible steak dinners, late nights at tango bars, vintage designer shopping, and wandering the city long after everyone else has gone home.

What themed party is this shoe being worn to?

If you’re ever attending a Studio 54-themed party, our Zebra Stilettos are the shoes you need to be wearing. Think champagne, your most outrageous fashion pieces, flash photography, velvet ropes, and a room full of the most fabulous and eccentric personalities you’ve ever encountered. Of course, these shoes fit right in.

What piece of art best embodies the energy of this shoe?

The artwork that best aligns with the energy of our Zebra Stiletto has to be Girl Before a Mirror by Pablo Picasso. The bold, vibrant piece is defined by its striking linework and explores the contrasting identities of Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso’s French muse and partner, through themes of youth, aging, beauty, and self-perception. It’s this exploration of identity that makes the piece such a fitting match for our shoe, not simply the bold lines and contrasting colors. There are so many different versions of ourselves waiting to be explored. And sometimes, the right pair of shoes gives us permission to step into whichever one we choose.

Which famous person would the owner of this shoe admire?

The owner of this shoe would undoubtedly have Diana Vreeland high on her list of fashion icons. A renowned fashion editor and columnist who worked at Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, served as a consultant to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, and was inducted into the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame, Vreeland built a career around an uncompromising point of view.Her fearless approach to fashion, creativity, and individuality feels perfectly suited to a shoe that refuses to blend into the background.

How would you describe the Sole of this shoe in three words?

Fearless. Striking. Seductive.
