    DETAILS

    Understated summer dressing, beautifully considered.

    The Ariadne Slide in Java Suede by Deadly Ponies is an easy everyday sandal elevated through rich texture and refined leather craftsmanship. Smooth, softly structured straps are finished in goat suede, with calf Nappa leather lining against the foot. The warm Java Suede colourway gives this minimal silhouette a grounded, versatile feel.

    Designed for uncomplicated slip-on wear, Ariadne features a leather-covered moulded footbed and a practical rubber sole. Subtle blind logo embossing at the sock adds a considered Deadly Ponies signature without interrupting the clean design.

    Pair it with relaxed linen separates, softly tailored trousers or a fluid summer dress. The mix of velvety suede and supple leather makes Ariadne a natural finishing touch for both simple daytime outfits and more polished warm-weather dressing.
