(SPOT.ph) Sneaker ballet flats are all the rage lately, with comfy trainers taking on a softer look courtesy of feminine touches like satin, ribbons, and a square box. We recently made a list of all the ones you can grab in the Philippines and we're about to add a new entry; the VIVAIA Cristina lace-up derby flats that blend the best of two timeless silhouettes. If you haven't dipped your toes into balletcore yet, this is the time.

VIVAIA Philippines now carries the Cristina satin sneaker flats
VIVAIA is known for its eco-friendly ballet flats and slingback heels for good reason. The recycled pairs are comfy even on the longest days and can withstand the elements. The Cristina lace-up sneaker flats are crafted using receycled satin fabric and boasts a triple-layer sole for comfort, so you can pack them, fold them, and crease them without much thought. With how versatile the pair is, we imagine they'll make it to your rotation and enjoy lots of walktime.
Each pair comes with two sets of shoelaces—one pair of regular laces and ribbons—so you can dress it up or down depending on your outfitor mood.
The pop-up in Shangri-la Mall now carries the silhouette in two colorways; Light Gold and Black, with each pair retailing for P7,950.

VIVAIA permanent stores opening soon
The Pink and Blue versions of the Cristina are available on the website, and we'll update you ASAP once we spot them on the shelves here, too. Our fingers are crossed all the colors of the Cristina, along with more of the brand's other styles, will be available once their permanent place open some time in late April or early May.
Two stores are set to open in the Metro this year—one in Glorietta and one in SM Megamall. For now, you can check out the pairs at the VIVAIA pop-up in Shangri-La Mall.
