Platform Sneakers at Mad Kicks Saudi Arabia

Platform sneakers have become one of the fastest growing categories in Saudi Arabia's fashion scene, driven by a generation that values bold proportions and artistic design. The defining shoe in this space is the Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Peterson, a Japanese-designed sneaker with a hand-molded warped sole that has become a symbol of creative self-expression. At Mad Kicks, we carry the Peterson in White, Black, Green, and Natural, alongside the Hank high-top and Blakey silhouettes. The collection also includes chunky-soled models from New Balance 9060 and Hoka that deliver a similar elevated aesthetic from a performance perspective.

In Riyadh and Jeddah, platform sneakers are showing up across both men's and women's styling. For women in KSA, the elevated sole of a Mihara Peterson creates a striking silhouette under abayas, wide leg trousers, or maxi dresses, adding height and visual interest without sacrificing comfort. For men, chunky soles from the New Balance 9060 and Mihara Hank ground oversized streetwear fits and add a bold dimension to casual looks. The platform trend in 2026 sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from the slim, low-profile terrace shoes that dominated 2024 and 2025. It is the pendulum swing back toward volume and presence, and Saudi Arabia's fashion-forward audience has embraced it fully. These pair naturally alongside the sneakers and streetwear that make up the broader Mad Kicks collection.

Platform Sneakers FAQs

What platform sneakers can I buy from Mad Kicks Saudi Arabia?

We carry Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Peterson, Hank, and Blakey as the main platform sneakers, alongside chunky-soled options from New Balance 9060, Hoka, and select Yeezy models. Both men's and women's sizing is available.

Do platform sneakers work with abayas and traditional Saudi dress?

Yes. The elevated sole of platform sneakers adds height and creates a clean silhouette under flowing abayas and long dresses. The Mihara Peterson in Black or Natural is particularly popular for this pairing because the warped sole adds visual interest while the canvas upper keeps the look understated.

Are platform sneakers comfortable?

Yes. Platform sneakers elevate the entire foot uniformly, unlike heels which raise only the heel. This even weight distribution makes them comfortable for extended wear. The Mihara Peterson has a cushioned rubber sole, and the New Balance 9060 uses foam midsole technology for additional shock absorption.

How much height do platform sneakers add?

Most models add between 3 and 5 centimetres. The Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Peterson provides roughly 4 centimetres of lift. Chunky runners like the New Balance 9060 add 3 to 4 centimetres.

Does Mad Kicks deliver platform sneakers across Saudi Arabia?

Yes. We ship to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Madinah, and all cities in KSA. All prices are in SAR with interest-free installment options available.
