NODALETO and Melissa Are a Match Made in Heaven
info@hypebae.com (Hypebae) Tue, 22 Apr 2025 HypebaeBrazilian footwear label Melissa has teamed up with NODALETO and honestly, it feels like a collaboration that makes perfect sense. United by their playful designs, sensual aesthetics and unique materials, the latest release blends Melissa's signature jelly shoes with NODALETO's penchant for mischief.
Featuring two seasonal silhouettes, the collaboration comprises the Ruby Ballet Flat and the Possession Sandal, each crafted from Melissa's signature Melflex PVC material. Taking inspiration from a summer's day's sunset, both shoes arrive in a gradient color palette of red, black and orange.
Tapping into the ballet flat resurgence, the new ballerina style is crafted with a subtle square toe and a flat sole. Elsewhere, the sandal boasts a fisherman-style silhouette, complete with an interlaced upper and soft insole.
"This collaboration is a celebration of colors in motion — a tangerine sunset melted into the world’s most innovative plastic footwear molding technology, creating wearable statement shoes that tell a story of creativity and playfulness with every step. These creations, available at an accessible price, make the innovation and spirit of both brands accessible to everyone," says Julia Toledano, founder of Nodaleto.
