Giuseppe Zanotti and Mary J. Blige Continue Their Footwear Collab With This New Thigh-High Boot
After the success of their first drop this spring, Giuseppe Zanotti and Mary J. Blige are continuing their collaboration with another boot launch.
This time around, the singer and designer came together to co-design a white patent thigh-high version of The Mary Boot.
Originally created as an over-the-knee boot in shiny rose gold, which launched in May, the new Mary Boot in white patent is the exact style worn by Blige onstage at her Strength of a Woman festival earlier this year.
What’s more, the custom-made pair she wore onstage now lives at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where the iconic artist was inducted earlier last month.
“I’m truly so thankful to my fans. The reaction to my first boot collaboration with Giuseppe really blew me away,” she said. “The new thigh-high version made in winter white patent was born from what my fans wanted. I’ve been asked for years about making my own thigh-high boots and it’s exciting that they’re here now and I get to continue working with my friend Giuseppe.”
While Blige is known as the “Queen of Hip Hop & Soul,” she certainly has earned the title of queen of boots. Since she stepped onto the music scene in the early ’90s with her debut record “What’s the 411?,” Blige has found a way to include the thigh-high boot in red carpet looks or as part of her core stage style through the years.
Fittingly, the new Mary Boot in white launches on Friday — the same day as the her newest album, ” Gratitude.”
