NEW KICKS NEWS:

UGG has revealed the second chapter of its Spring/Summer 2021 campaign, this time tapping Iman to model the brand’s shearling footwear.

Following in the footsteps of legendary fashion editor André Leon Talley, who starred in the first portion of the campaign, Iman dons UGG’s Classic Mini II — a low-profile shearling boot — and the Coquette slipper, a chestnut brown slide perfect for lounging around the house. The supermodel’s dog, Max, even makes an appearance in the campaign.

In an accompanying video, Iman explains her thoughts on the meaning of the word “icon,” a term frequently applied to the model and philanthropist. “Ive never understood the word iconic,” she muses. “If you can change somebody’s life, you will be an icon to them, regardless of whether you’ve changed how they think or you’ve changed how they think of others.”

Above and below, take a look at UGG’s new Iman-fronted images.

NOCTA, the collaborative sub-label helmed by Drake and Nike, is gearing up for its first footwear release. Teased on Instagram by @champagnepapi himself, the sneaker — tentatively dubbed the NOCTA x Nike Hot Step Air Terra — was originally spotted on the rapper in his “Laugh Now Cry Later” music video. The all-white basketball sneaker is believed to be a take on the Nike Air Terra Humara. A leather upper features striped paneling dotted with perforations while a chunky, sculpted midsole is constructed with a large Air unit at the heel.

According to sneaker leaks account @py_rates_, the NOCTA x Nike Hot Step Air Terra will retail for $150 USD and release sometime this winter.Having recently unveiled a new 1461 shoe for Lunar New Year, Dr. Martens is now celebrating artist Keith Haring with a pack of boots and Derby shoes. The collection takes inspiration from the late New Yorkcreative’s socio-political works and his impact on pop culture.

Haring’s cartoonish graphics are seen throughout the footwear offerings. The 1461 Derby shoe comes in two versions, including a black-and-white design covered with the artist’s iconic illustrations. Another iteration arrives with a black leather upper and is accentuated with angel motifs on the laterals in white and pink.

Elsewhere, the 1461 boot boasts subtle design details throughout the upper, with Haring’s drawings printed in tonal ink. The same silhouette is dressed in Haring’s dog graphics on the sides for kids. All of the shoes are rounded out with character charms at the shoelaces, along with Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitches at the soles.

Take a closer look at the lineup below. Priced from $65 USD to $160 USD, the Keith Haring x Dr. Martens collection is set to launch on January 22 via the footwear brand’s website and store locations.
