In February 2013, Miranda Kerr stepped out in Los Feliz, California, wearing a pair of Isabel Marant “Bobby” wedge sneakers, one of the defining off-duty shoe trends of the early 2010s.
The hidden-wedge silhouette quickly became a celebrity staple, worn everywhere from airport arrivals to school runs by models including Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Nicky Hilton.

Kerr styled the sneakers during an afternoon outing with her son Flynn, pairing the casual high-tops with skinny jeans and a loose-knit cardigan for a relaxed, model-off-duty uniform that helped make Isabel Marant’s wedge sneakers so influential in the era.

Introduced as the more understated counterpart to the strap-heavy Bekett, the Bobby became one of the defining sneakers of the early 2010s thanks to its concealed wedge heel, perforated suede panels, and effortless French-girl styling.
The concealed wedge added subtle height while keeping the look casual, which became part of the appeal behind the sneaker’s enormous popularity at the time.

Kerr chose the olive suede version of the Isabel Marant Bobby sneakers, one of the earthy neutral colorways that helped define the style’s relaxed bohemian appeal.
Alongside shades like taupe, black, and anthracite, muted suede finishes became central to the sneaker’s cult following at the height of the hidden-wedge trend.
More than a decade later, the Isabel Marant Bobby remains closely associated with the model-off-duty aesthetic of the early 2010s. The sneaker has regained momentum in recent seasons as indie sleaze and slim, low-profile sneaker trends continue cycling back into fashion.
