Your Viral Shoe Obsession Just Got 50% Cheaper

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok and wondering why everyone’s suddenly obsessed with minimalist footwear, welcome to the naked shoe revolution—and Old Navy just made it impossible to ignore your cart.

The retail giant’s viral“glove flat”is the unexpected hero of summer 2026 shoe trends. Built from breathable mesh or lightweight lattice weaves, these ballet flat reimaginings are exactly what the season demands: minimal, chic, and somehow even more effortless than the classic flat you’ve owned for three years. They’re also selling out fast, which tells you everything you need to know about TikTok’s collective taste. Right now, during the Old Navy Memorial Day sale, they’re half off—which means you can finally understand the hype without spending like you just lost a sponsorship deal.

But the glove flat isn’t flying solo. Old Navy’s Memorial Day clearance is stacked with other trending styles that have already colonized your feed: jelly shoes in those translucent, nostalgic tones that feel equal parts Y2K and fresh; espadrille Mary Janes in unexpected colors like butter yellow; fisherman sandals (yes, really); raffia platform slides; and basically every warm-weather shoe your wardrobe has been screaming for. At 50% off, this isn’t just a sale—it’s an intervention.

The deeper play here is that the“it”girl shoe trends of summer aren’t gatekept by luxury price tags anymore. The naked shoe movement, the resurgence of jelly shoes, the mainstreaming of once-practical styles—they’re all available at a price point that doesn’t require you to justify it to your bank account. That’s the real story. TikTok democratized the trends, and Old Navy just made them actually accessible.

The long weekend is the perfect window to refresh your rotation without the guilt. If you’ve been adding these styles to your Pinterest board, now’s the moment to actually commit.
