Oh, how I missed the floor.

Oh, how I missed the floor. For those of you that know the drill, yes, it's sample unboxing day. For those of you that are new here, hi, my name is Haley and I'm the founder, CEO, and inventor at Pashion Footwear, that convertible heel company. I love bringing you guys behind the scenes of the shoe design and development process. And yes, that includes unboxing my samples with you. A lot of brands don't do this because they're worried about their designs being stolen, but I have a utility patent, so. Without further ado, let's get into it. With any luck, this is going to be some much-awaited samples for spring 27. I know spring 27 sounds insane, but shoe dev never sleeps. If you can believe it, we already submitted the summer 27 LP, so those samples are coming soon. And we're actually meeting on Friday to make the fall 27 line plans. That's just shoe biz, baby. Oh my god. Guys, the design direction for 2027 in general is just, if I do say so myself. If you've been following along, some of the stuff you've already seen in here and now it just fits better, hopefully. And some of it is new. First up, we've seen her before, but now she's even better. I think we are going to call her the Blair. I know seeing the shoes not put together is one thing, but I mean, obviously style is so cute as a flat, but when we throw a heel on it, I think this is just, this is just classic. This is very it girl. It's kind of corporate, but also kind of baddie. And that's exactly why we can't just do it in one color. Okay. The ivory pinstripe is such an elevated classic for spring. Again, I know it's already cool when it doesn't have the heel on, but this just, this just makes it. The little buckle detail to die for. And again, I love the pinstripe because it obviously gives it a little something something, a little pattern, a little different, a little statement, but it's still very much a neutral and I think you could style this a million ways. I'm going to go ahead and disembody this heel, because it goes on the next shoe. Okay, this is another one that you've already seen, but this needed some pretty big fit improvements, but I think she's coming together. I can't wait till we nail the fit on this style, because once the fit is confirmed, that's when they start making the samples in all of the colors for approval. Obviously, this ivory snakeskin variation, already stunning. But we've got quite a few things planned for this boot. We're calling her the Delaney, and let's see if she fits. I have to say, I probably should have realized when I started a shoe company how much of my job was going to be putting my feet on the internet, but it really just didn't clock to me what a big part of my job it was going to be. My gosh. Okay. Amazing, iconic, already fitting so much better than the last sample. I think everything about this style is just to die for. I think it's so it girl, it's so elevated and chic. Now it fits like a glove. Obviously, as a heel. But let us not forget you can wear her as a flat, too. Obviously, needs a little time to break in. This is literally fresh out of the box, but this is just so stinking cute all the way around. Here's the question though for the Delaney, do we want a flat cap or the one and a half inch? If you're new here, you may not know, depending on the style and the way it fits, we kind of swap which one comes with the shoe. Here she is with the flat cap, like fully flush sandal style to the ground. Or we can go a little more lifted with the one and a half inch block. Which do you think should be the default flat mode for this style? Let me know. But that's not all. Again, if you've been here before, you've already seen this one, but the new mesh bow detail cap toe slingback. Absolutely obsessed with this shoe. And, and, I'm happy to say, for those of you that were sounding off in the comments about wanting some with the almond toe, there will be some in the almond toe. We're going to split it up by color so that it's not duplicative, but there will be a couple in an almond toe and a couple in the triangle toe. Although actually, at that point, I thought we specced ivory in the almond toe. I'm going to need to make some calls. Maybe we didn't. Did we change that? I don't know. I'm going to find out. One that I know for sure is specced in triangle toe. A little chocolate moment, anybody? Are you kidding? This is actually so stunning. Though I actually have to say, something is askew here. The tag says cherry mocha and the base is definitely cherry mocha, but I think this is a brown leather. I'm going to do some research. It was specced as cherry mocha, although now I don't like hate the brown. Why is this shoe just good no matter how we do it? Moral of the story is there will be a dark neutral colorway. Stay tuned. And then the only other thing I have to show you, not a full shoe, but it is kind of a color of the season reveal. Y'all know we always have kind of one anchor color for each collection. I've seen some speculation in the comments. The girlies think they know what it is. The girlies were right. It's olive green, baby. It's embarrassing to admit how many rounds of back and forth we had to have to settle on this exact shade of olive green. But I love her. I feel like this is a very Italian olive green, if that makes sense. The best way to know is I'm Italian and my color theory complexion with this, stellar. In summary, I have the best job in the world. Yay.
