Bottega Veneta‘s Winter 2023 showcase unveiled an array of unconventional and “ugly” footwear, leaving fashion enthusiasts intrigued. However, for those who can’t wait until winter, designer Matthieu Blazy has a surprise in store for the Pre-Fall 2023 collection. Enter the daring and thought-provoking caged boot.
Unlike traditional boots, this avant-garde creation is not meant to be worn over another shoe; it’s designed to be the star of the show. Paired with Bottega Veneta’s cozy woolen socks, these boots are the perfect companions for the upcoming colder months. But fear not, as you can get your hands on these divisive shoes even during the summer season.
Presently, the caged boot is available in classic black. Crafted entirely from robust rubber, Bottega Veneta has employed a laser-cutting technique to achieve its peculiar and haphazard cut-out structure, laced up at the top. Underneath, a full rubber sole unit adds to the shoe’s uniqueness, featuring webbed detailing that mirrors the cut-outs above.
The Bottega Veneta caged boot is now retailing for $650 USD and can be purchased from select retailers like H.LORENZO. Keep an eye out for other captivating colorways, such as white or tan, which will soon drop on Bottega Veneta’s own website.
