Last week, Biles did just that for the second time while rocking a pair of Kate Spade Maritza leopard slingback pumps ($258; $206). The Olympic icon was a keynote speaker during the 2025 California Conference for Women at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center and donned the same pair at the the Kate Spade Global Summit on Women’s Mental Health earlier in September of 2024.
Though this particular shoe is a repeat for Biles, it happens to be incredibly on-trend for spring, with animal print rising in popularity alongside the likes of pastels, boho and utility styles. Biles paired her pumps with a pair of dark colored pants, a fuzzy gray sweater shirt and lots of sparkling silver jewelry.
Unfortunately for both you *and* me, the exact pair is currently sold out in most sizes on Kate Spade's website. But you need not abandon your leopard-print dreams just yet—I managed to scope out four lookalike slingback styles to shop so you, too, can step out in Biles-approved style. Read ahead to shop the trend-setting pieces.
