Mary J. Blige is the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul — and the queen of boots, too.
The songstress revealed her new collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti on stage at her “Strength of a Woman’ festival Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The limited-edition ‘Giuseppe for Mary J. Blige’ boot — an over-the-knee style with a block heel — makes a high-shine statement in mirrored rose gold.
“My fans and my community know that part of my style is these statement boots – I’ve worn them during so many big moments of my career, it just made sense. It could never be anything else,” the songstress said, about her obsession with the silhouette. “My fans have been waiting for a boot from me for a long time, so I knew when I did it, it had to be right. From start to finish, Giuseppe just understood what I wanted and helped make this idea a reality.“
Mary J. Blige’s boot game has always been official, and the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul finally dropping gave the boot collaboration that fans have been wanting for years.
But if you didn’t act fast, you missed out.
The launch of the “Mary boot” which she co-designed with the Italian luxury footwear and fashion designer Giuseppe Zanotti on Monday, May 13, priced at $1,300, sparked a lot of discussion on social media about whether her fans could afford them. Despite the high price, the boots quickly sold out.
MJB first announced the shoe via on Sunday, May 12, amid her Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit in New York City.
