Jennie, a member of the Korean girl group “BLACKPINK,” has always been regarded as a fashion trendsetter by many. Recently, as the group embarks on a world tour, Jennie’s daily and airport outfits have become one of the hottest topics among fans. Among them, Jennie was recently spotted at Korea’s Incheon Airport, wearing a pair of uniquely styled shoes, which stirred plenty of debate among netizens.
On the 11th, Jennie appeared at Incheon Airport, seen wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, with a red inner top layered under a sky blue patterned vest, paired with sweatpants. However, it was her shoes that caught the attention of many netizens. She was wearing a pair of beige five-finger shoes with pink soles. The shoes appeared so thin it was almost as if she was just wearing five-toed socks. Netizens were puzzled and left comments such as “They look like indoor slippers,” “Wouldn’t the soles of her feet hurt wearing those?” and “Looks like she just finished working out and forgot to change her shoes.”
This unusual pair of shoes was soon identified by netizens as the 25SS V-SOUL five-finger shoes from Italian brand Vibram, retailing at 149,000 KRW (about RM458). Reportedly, the design, which allows each toe to be individually placed into the shoe, aims to mimic the feeling of walking barefoot. It’s promoted as allowing your feet to stretch and move freely and naturally without constraint, with uses suitable for fitness, running, yoga, trail running, travel, and other activities.
