Thong Heels: The ‘90s shoe trend that’s making a huge comeback this summer

Kim Kardashian was recently spotted in her typical Yeezy uniform — an oversized jacket (this time, in peach), black biker shorts, and a gray crop top — but to really distinguish what sets this look apart from the rest, one has got to zoom in on her kicks.

Yup, we did a double take too. Thong heeled flip flops from the ‘90s are back, apparently.

A flirty elevated heel elevates the classic prong strapped flip flop, and there’s something about the thong heel that makes it so vaguely sophisticated and seductive. Perhaps it’s its nonchalant attitude: oh so simple, yet so sexy (or maybe it has something to do with the word ‘thong’ being in its name?).
