Anyone else constantly missing ‘90s fashion? We do our best to incorporate it into our modern ensembles, but we have to be careful not to take it too far. We want to be chic, not costumey! Platform sneakers were huge back in the day and specifically remind Us of the Spice Girls, who rocked them flawlessly. That’s why when we spotted this more contemporary style, we knew we had to “spice up our life” with them!
The Halogen Baylee Platform Slip-On Sneaker is the 21st-century version of the nostalgic classic. It brings the style from potentially tacky to completely timeless with a casual vibe and comfortable feel. These shoes are so cute, we’ll never want to take them off. Plus, that extra bit of height doesn’t hurt! Know what else doesn’t hurt? The fact that these sneakers are 40% off!

Over 100 shoppers have found their new favorite sneaker in the Baylee. They’re saying it’s a flawless “upgrade” to their “everyday uniform,” and are naming it the “perfect casual Friday shoe.” Reviewer after reviewer notes how they never stop receiving compliments when they wear these “beautiful” and “chic” slip-ons and are “so unbelievably happy” with them. One shopper said they had total “heart eyes for these fabulous platforms,” so let’s get more into why!
The white rubber platform of these shoes is 1 ¼ inches tall, featuring vertical ribbing wrapping around the toe and an embossed horizontal stripe making its way around the heel. On the underside of the platform, we’ll find star-shaped tread details to help create traction while also looking adorable!
The upper of this sneaker is currently available in two versions: sleek black leather or heather grey jersey fabric. Each features elastic insets up at the collar, which allow for stretch and an easier on-and-off — plus a better overall fit!
Also helping us slip these shoes on without a struggle is the pull tab sticking up slightly from the back of the heel. It peeps up just enough for us to grab hold of it without it distracting from the simplicity of the sneaker!

Halogen, an “affordable work-to-weekend” brand exclusive to Nordstrom, concentrates on creating “wardrobe-boosting essentials” that we can easily incorporate into our daily life. The brand produces “statement-making” pieces that don’t scream “fashion,” but instead coolly whisper it into our ear, sending a shiver up our spine! That’s how fashion should always make us feel.
Styling these sneakers is incredibly easy because they’ll match up with practically everything in our wardrobe. Slip-ons are an excellent choice for pairing with summer dresses when we’re not in the mood for sandals or heels or need a little more support. We could also wear these with a piece that’s slightly too long on us, like a maxidress, since that platform will provide extra height!
We can even dress these shoes up a bit. Just slip them on with some high-waisted trousers and a button-up blouse! We also think these are a top option for a bride who wants to kick off her heels after a ceremony and dance the night away!
At 40% off, the black version is selling out of sizes, and the grey will be sure to follow, so make sure to grab a pair of these Baylees today!
