Havaianas is stepping firmly into kitten heel season. The Brazilian brand has debuted its first-ever heeled silhouette, the Havaianas Kitten Heel, on the Studio Constance runway at Copenhagen Fashion Week, marking a genuine first for the flip-flop giant. It's a timely move too with non-sneaker silhouettes (including our recent faves, the Birkenstock x Repetto) increasingly dominating the women's footwear conversation, this launch feels like a key entry point into that shift, and a sign that even the most laid-back footwear brands are getting in on the action. Keep reading to find out where to buy and get your hands on a pair.

Maria Fernanda Albuquerque, Global Vice President Of Marketing - Havaianas said:
The Kitten Heel represents a new design perspective for Havaianas, while remaining true to the ease, authenticity, and Brazilian spirit that have always defined the brand
The kitten heel has been revealed in three colourways: off-white and green for the summer months, plus a chic black option that takes it from beach to bar with ease. Havaianas' signature rubber insole remains underfoot throughout, so the comfort you know the brand for hasn't been sacrificed for style.

The debut is part of a bigger shift away from sneakers dominating the women's footwear conversation this year. Balletcore has had its moment, and flip-flops are having a similar resurgence, especially over on The Sole Womens socials, where they've been getting serious love from our community.
The Havaianas Kitten Heel feels like the next logical step in that story with proof that the humble flip-flop has range beyond the beach.

The reveal certainly didn't stop on the runway. Havaianas marked the Kitten Heel's debut with a celebration to match, complete with a dance floor and a customisation bar where guests could personalise their pairs. The finishing touch came courtesy of a collaboration with Akva Jewellery Copenhagen, who added their own detailing to the mix, turning the launch into as much of a moment as the shoe itself.
