Rick Owens is stepping up the game in luxury footwear. During his Fall 2025 show in Paris, the Los Angeles designer introduced his new ‘Kiss Boots,’ created in collaboration with Parisian designer Victor Clavelly. These boots have quickly grabbed attention with their futuristic and thought-provoking design, which is typical of Owens’ style.
As models walked the runway at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris on Thursday, a variety of innovative shoe styles were on display, each with unique shapes and silhouettes. The standout white, feather-like boots were crafted from heavyweight Groppone cow leather, laser-cut and woven together to create a chain-linked appearance. Victor Clavelly, known for his remarkable 3-D designs, arranged the leather to mimic feathers.
The boots sparked a mix of reactions on social media. Comments ranged from admiration, with users picturing celebrities like Lenny Kravitz wearing them, to skepticism about their practicality. While some believe the boots are better suited for a futuristic movie, everyone agrees on their originality and modern look.
Regardless of your opinion on these boots, it’s clear that Rick Owens and Victor Clavelly have brought something unique to the fashion scene. Do you think these boots are hot or not?
