Stay Comfortable During Rainy Season with VIVAIA Shoes! "Margot™ Walker Air" Joins the Water-Repellent Series

VIVAIA, a shoe brand delivering pure fashion and lifestyle with a blend of "sustainability x comfort x style" (Headquarters: USA, Representative: Jeff Chan), has launched "Margot™ Walker Air," the latest addition to its "Water-Repellent Series" designed to make outings comfortable during the rainy season. This new model boasts the highest breathability in the brand's history. The "Margot™ Walker Air" inherits the DNA of the enduringly popular "Margot™" model, which has sold over 100,000 pairs worldwide. It retains the beautiful silhouette of the sophisticated square toe and the light, comfortable fit, while integrating VIVAIA's proprietary "water-repellent function." Furthermore, its greatest feature compared to previous models is the significant improvement in "breathability." The secret lies in an innovative structure that allows moisture to escape from both top and bottom. The insole has countless microscopic pores (ventilation holes) to quickly alleviate stuffiness from the soles of the feet. The outsole features a space made of a special material that completely blocks external water while allowing only internal air to pass through. ■Margot™ Walker Air - Price: ¥19,900 (tax included). In addition to the evolution of its unique knitting structure, the dual ventilation system of the insole and outsole enhances the function of repelling rain while allowing moisture inside the shoe to escape. It keeps your feet dry even in the damp rainy season, offering an unprecedented feeling of liberation by combining water repellency and breathability. Available at: VIVAIA Online Store. *Not available at permanent stores. *Limited to 300 pairs in total across all colors and sizes. ■Super Water-Repellent Series - Margot™ Walker Super Water-Repellent - Price: ¥18,900 (tax included).
