UGG works together with mastermind WORLD on a new iteration of the signature 'Classic Short Boot' silhouette. The latest footwear blends together two contrasting design elements -- fusing the cozy sensibilities of UGG and the punk-like style properties of mastermind WORLD. The boots are offered in two colorway options of either chestnut or black -- both of which feature a contrasting zipper enclosure and D-ring on the side. The chestnut iteration is complete with a golden hardware and the black colorway showcases silver hardware
Branding details are infused through stitching methods at the front ankle that read "MASTERMIND" and "UGG" are found at the heel. Notably, the signature skull and crossbones motif adorns the back of the boots in silver stitching before it is rounded out with a tonal Arctic Grip Vibram outsole. The collaborative footwear is set to launch on December 12th at select retail locations.
