A new design from luxury fashion house Chanel is raising eyebrows, with some critics wondering if high fashion has gone a step too far.<\/p>\n

Chanel unveiled its Cruise 2027 collection Tuesday in Biarritz, France, featuring a sandal design that leaves most of the foot exposed, covering only the heel with straps wrapped around the ankle.<\/p>\n

The show drew A-list attendees including Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, A$AP Rocky and Sofia Coppola.<\/p>\n

In its review, Elle described the toe-baring footwear as “intentionally incomplete.”<\/p>\n

“The cap-toe went out the window as the design relied solely on what the brand called a ‘barefoot heel cap,'” the outlet wrote.<\/p>\n

Chanel Creative Director Matthieu Blazy told Women\u2019s Wear Daily that even his own team initially questioned the bold concept.<\/p>\n

“At some point, someone told me, \u2018It\u2019s too much,\u2019” Blazy said. “And then we saw this amazing photo of the seashore \u2026 it\u2019s such a mess, such an explosion. I was like, \u2018You know what? Let\u2019s go!\u2019”<\/p>\n

Photos of the sandals quickly sparked debate online, with social media users split between praise and confusion.<\/p>\n

Some called the design “genius” and “brilliant,” while others mocked the unconventional look.<\/p>\n

“Where is the rest of the shoe?” one user wrote. “I am confused.”<\/p>\n

“Recession indicators: half a shoe from Chanel,” another joked.<\/p>\n

“That’s not even a shoe. It’s a sh,” one commenter added.<\/p>\n

“Full foot frontal,” one user joked.<\/p>\n

One user referenced “The Devil Wears Prada,” writing, “As Miranda Priestly would say: did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?”<\/p>\n

Others questioned the practicality of the design, with one user writing: “Can someone please wear these on the NYC streets and then down into the subway and on the train? Please film feet when you get home, please.”<\/p>\n

The sandals have not been listed as an official retail item, and pricing has not been announced.<\/p>\n
