Zaya Wade was seen wearing a pair of burgundy pointed-toe boots at the” When We Gather: A Night of Stand-Up Comedy Curated by Dwyane Wade” during Netflix is a Joke Fest on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
Supporting her father, the model has become something of a footwear trendsetter over the past couple of years, frequently switching up her shoe style depending on the event she’s attending. Frequently styled by Thomas Christos Kikis, Wade stepped out in a pair of deep blue ballet flats during Paris Fashion Week last year. The glossy patent leather style featured narrow toes with flat soles, topped by thin upper straps for a preppy, Mary Jane effect. In August, she posed in Miu Miu for Harper’s Bazaar’s 2023 “Icons” issue in a pair of burgundy slingback pumps that featured patent leather uppers and a walkable strap-heavy construction that transitioned into sharp knife-like pointed toes.
You can also find her in a variety of sneakers and boots throughout the course of the year, as Wade is one of Puma’s brand ambassadors.
