Product Insights & Style Tips

Calakala 70 nubuck and suede espadrille platform sandals blend a sun-warmed tan with the label’s signature polish. Crossover straps in nubuck and beige suede glide above an espadrille-wrapped platform, with a 70mm heel and a 35mm lift that keeps the silhouette buoyant. A buckle-fastening ankle strap locks the line in place, while the red sole signals Louboutin’s iconic edge.

Effortless to wear, the Calakala balances height with ease. True to size in full sizes, it uses an adjustable buckle and secure straps to cradle the foot, letting you glide from sunlit afternoons to after-dark dinners. The open upper spans over cropped hems and floaty dresses, while the sturdy platform keeps the overall line grounded.

Against the summer fashion tempo, Calakala sits squarely in Louboutin’s espadrille codes—a lifted silhouette, buckle details, and the brand’s famed red sole. Pair with linen dresses, denim minis, or crisp tailoring for a modern, city-ready finish.

About Christian Louboutin

In the realm of luxury footwear, one name stands tall, both literally and figuratively – Christian Louboutin. Established in the early 1990s, this French footwear label has not only weathered the ever-changing tides of fashion but has emerged as a timeless icon synonymous with opulence and sophistication. The roots of Christian Louboutin's illustrious career delve deep into the annals of French luxury, weaving a narrative that includes prestigious names like Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. As a freelance designer for these legendary houses and an apprentice to the esteemed Roger Vivier, the self-proclaimed inventor of the stiletto heel in the 1980s, Louboutin imbibed a wealth of knowledge and craftsmanship. In 1992, the maestro unveiled his eponymous shoe salon in the heart of Paris, and from its inception, Christian Louboutin has been graced by the likes of royalty and Hollywood royalty alike. Princess Catherine of Monaco and French starlet Catherine Deneuve were among his early patrons, setting the stage for an enduring legacy of luxury. What sets Louboutin apart is not just the red sole that has become a symbol of status and style, but the architectural refinement infused into each creation. The Decollete 554, Pigalle, and Anjalina are signature styles that epitomize the essence of Christian Louboutin – tall stiletto heels, red soles, and an exquisite blend of glamour and comfort.
