Miu Miu’s latest drop, the Tyre sneaker, is a love letter to the ’90s with a distinctly modern twist. Part of the brand’s SS25 Prelude Collection, the sneaker taps into the decade’s chunky, sporty aesthetic while embracing the functionality and luxe details we’ve come to expect from Miuccia Prada’s playful yet precise vision.
The Tyre comes in two silhouettes: a classic lace-up and a ballet-inspired slip-on. The palette is a mood — think loden green and topazio yellow for bold, earthy tones and creamy avorio or nube for a more pared-back vibe. It’s effortlessly cool, perfect for styling with your vintage cargos or that Miu Miu micro-mini everyone’s still obsessed with. But it’s not just about looks; the details matter. With lightweight natural rubber soles and cushioned interiors, these sneakers are as wearable as they are statement-making.
Fashion trends in 2024 are all about balance — combining sporty with elegant, practical with pretty — and the Tyre nails it. We’re seeing this everywhere: the fusion of Y2K silhouettes with grounded, sustainable materials like the Tela Tec fabric and certified leather Miu Miu uses here. Even the name, inspired by car tyres, hints at the motion and versatility built into these kicks.
Miu Miu’s Tyre feels refreshingly personal. It’s not trying too hard; it’s just cool enough to slot into your rotation without overshadowing your look. This sneaker is all about understated confidence — pure Miu Miu ethos.
