Miista Miles

Last week we were in Australia to stride feet first into its wellness culture, the Miista Way, of course.

We do love a gathering. We often host them at our stores in Barcelona, Paris, London and New York, which we see as our corner of the world, our physical commitment to the alternative.

But, being the curious, adventurous types, we’re always up for visiting your corners of the world too.

We had high expectations for our first Miista Miles, a 3.2 km fashion fun run, in heels, from the Opera House to breakfast on 17 Oxford Street Paddington. It was an opportunity to step out of our usual comfort zone, and put our heels, with their ultra-cushioned memory insoles, to the test.

The run was inspired by the idea that

"THE LESS FUNCTIONAL A THING IS - THE LESS IT HAS TO DO SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR

- the more space for art there is in it; the more freedom there is in it.” what art does - an unfinished theory, Brian Eno, Bette A.

Besides that, we love running precisely because of that sense of freedom it gives us, as well as the mood-lifting dopamine hit it always delivers, especially first thing in the morning. What better way to connect with some like-minded women and catch up
with some of the Aussie Miista Crowd?

So, we pulled on our platforms, buckled up our sculptural heels, zipped up our long, fitted boots, and took to the streets at a leisurely social pace.
