Havaianas, but make them heels.


The new Havaianas Kitten Heel made its debut on the Studio Constance Spring 2027 runway, giving the brand’s iconic rubber flip-flop an unexpected update. The silhouette keeps the familiar Havaianas spirit, but reworks it with a low asymmetric heel, a widened toe cap and a more directional shape that feels designed for fashion week, not just the beach.


What makes the design interesting is that it doesn’t abandon the brand’s identity. The rubber insole, relaxed attitude and Brazilian ease are all still there, but the heel changes the conversation completely. It turns a shoe that has always been about comfort into something more editorial, more surprising and a little bit polarising in the best way.


Shown in black, off-white and bright green, the style also fits neatly into the current mood for pieces that feel simple at first glance but land with more impact the longer you look at them. It is a smart reminder that even the most familiar summer staples can still be made to feel new.
