Simone Biles sat down for an interview at the 2025 California Conference For Women held yesterday in San Jose, Calif. Biles spoke with Emmy-winning Host and reporter for NBC Sports Laura Britt about her impressive career moves thus far from boasting 11 Olympic medals to writing a New York Time’s best-selling autobiography.

The gymnast popped into a pair of leopard-printed slingback pumps from Kate Spade. Retailing for $258 via Saks Fifth Ave., the Maritza style included wild leather leopard-printed uppers accompanied by sharp pointed toes and sturdy slingback straps. Adjustable buckle closures situated the shoes in place while leather soles offered a non-slip feel.
