Last week we wrote about Cork showing-up in the latest Spring designers from Louboutin to Manolo Blahnik. It was no coincidence that Today's picks were in our favorite color **and** accented with a lovely cork heel. You can find these Prada Platform Wedge Sandals at Downtowngal Shoes for $169.99 (Retail $499).

In years past, the Prada "Sport" line (identified by the red Prada stripe) has been thrown under the bus for sub-par quality as compared to the "regular" Prada line. Interestingly enough the only difference was the styling and **not** the actual quality...consumers made the presumption that because the "Sport" line was less dressy - it was not as well made. With the new name of "Linea Rossa", Prada is looking to upgrade the perception of the old "Sport" line, by producing more stylistic/formal designs.
These black patent Slingbacks from the new Spring '08 Collection, certainly prove to us that Prada is trying to change the image of the Sport Collection to something a great deal more.
What do you think?
