Karl Lagerfeld really wants you to try gladiator sandals. How do we know this, you might ask? The designer just presented Chanel’s Cruise 2018 show in Paris, and every single look was anchored by the iconic strappy shoe style.

From the backdrop to the clothes, the collection was rife with Greek references, including, of course, the shoes du jour. Chanel played with a slew of different colors, creating gladiator sandals in black, gold, blue, orange, yellow, and more. If you don’t want to commit to knee-high versions, don’t fret: You can still test-drive the look with ankle iterations. We don’t think Karl will mind.
