Mary J. Blige stunts for the crowd – and the ‘Gram – in her new rose gold boots.
Mary debuted her boots during her 2024 SOAW concert. As the “All That I Can Say” singer shared, the centerpiece of the collection is the aptly named “Mary Boot.”
This over-the-knee masterpiece boasts a bold block heel, reflecting Mary’s preference for styles that makes a statement while being comfortable. The footwear is made with the finest Italian leather, ensuring style, feel and quality worthy of a queen.
Her pair was a rose gold “striking and innovative design” in a slouchy style. See Mary in the new collection below.
Mary J. Blige says boots ‘make her feel strong.’
Mary’s love affair with boots is legendary. They go together real bad. From red carpets to stage performances, she’s rocked thigh-highs with unwavering confidence.
“Boots have always made me feel strong,” Mary told press. “They have helped me feel confident in moments when I have been anything but. There is something about putting on a statement boot that makes you feel strong and ready to take on your day.”
Mary’s new boot line isn’t just a fashion moment; it’s a manifestation of the impact of hip-hop culture on high fashion. We’re here for it.
According to the Giuseppe Zanotti website, the shoes are available in sizes US 6 – US 12 for $1295. Shop the Mary Boot here.
