Summer’s most playful shoe collaboration has officially arrived. GANNI and Melissa have joined forces on a limited-edition footwear capsule that blends nostalgic jelly-shoe energy with GANNI’s signature cool-girl attitude.

Inspired by the carefree ease of Copenhagen summers, the collection reimagines Melissa’s iconic jelly silhouettes through a more elevated, fashion-forward lens — balancing bold color, effortless wearability, and just the right amount of irreverence. The result feels playful without trying too hard: exactly the kind of shoe lineup built for long summer days that turn into nights without much planning in between.

At the center of the collaboration are two standout silhouettes: the Melissa Thong Kitten Heel and the Melissa Flip Flop Slim. The Thong Kitten Heel offers a sleek update to the classic flip flop with a minimal heel and vibrant colorways including red, blue, yellow, black, and leopard print. Meanwhile, the Flip Flop Slim leans more whimsical, featuring feminine ruffle detailing and the same punchy palette of summer-ready shades.

The collection feels especially aligned with the current return of playful, early-2000s-inspired dressing — though filtered through GANNI’s distinctly Scandinavian perspective. It’s nostalgic, but polished. Fun, but still wearable enough for everyday styling.

“For Melissa, we wanted to capture that endless summer feeling in Copenhagen,” said Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director of GANNI. “Shoes that are fun, expressive, and easy to wear from morning to night.”

That sense of ease carries throughout the entire capsule. Whether paired with oversized tailoring, swimwear, or relaxed summer separates, the shoes are designed to feel expressive rather than overly styled — a reflection of both brands’ shared approach to individuality and self-expression.

The collaboration officially launches globally on May 18 via Melissa and GANNI.
