VIVAIA's Popular Sneakerina Series Evolves for 2026 SS - Introducing Must-Have Slim Sneakers Carol & Ayla

VIVAIA, a shoe brand delivering pure fashion and lifestyle that combines "Sustainability x Comfort x Style" (Headquarters: USA, Representative: Jeff Chan, hereinafter: VIVAIA), announces the release of "Carol" and "Ayla," evolved models of the Sneakerina series that received tremendous response in last year's autumn/winter collection, as their 2026 Spring/Summer new arrivals.

This collection incorporates the "slim sneaker" silhouette, a trending style for 26SS, with further improvements to wearability. The key color features "Butter Yellow," a trend color evoking spring sunshine, proposing footwear that combines functionality with trendsetting appeal.

The Sneakerina series, which gained popularity during the autumn/winter season by fusing "sneaker comfort" with "ballerina elegance," features an upper made of satin material with an elegant sheen, creating a sophisticated, mature casual look rather than an overly sporty appearance. The slim sneaker silhouette matches any styling aesthetic. This season places even more emphasis on comfort - maintaining the light, barely-there wearing sensation while focusing on enhanced sole cushioning to prevent fatigue even during extended wear. Both models are machine washable, adding to their appeal.

  • 2-Way Specification: Dual shoelace design allows for playful ribbon tying for a neat look, or switching to sporty lacing styles.
  • Material: Lustrous satin material creates a more refined and sophisticated appearance than typical sneakers.
