When two fashion heavyweights meet, the impact can land as either a lazy collision or a true creative ignition. UGG x sacai Fall Winter 2025 is firmly the latter, a bold rewrite of everything we thought we knew about comfort and couture. Six years after their last encounter, the return feels intentional. No revival, no nostalgia. A reset. Debuting at Paris Fashion Week, the collection arrives not as a product drop but as a fully shaped statement, runway born, sculptural, playful.
At its core, the collaboration fuses UGG’s elemental warmth with sacai’s instinct for hybrid form. Chitose Abe frames it as a meeting of functionality and signature sacai codes: gold buckles, coin details, voluminous silhouettes. The result is footwear that slips between utility and ornament, three silhouettes that stretch both brands into new terrain. Abe’s touch is unmistakable, exaggerated lines, architectural curves, and the idea that comfort itself can be a sculptural expression.
The capsule features three distinct models: a thigh-high boot, a loafer, and a hiker boot, each embodying a different mode of expression. The thigh-high comes in black and chestnut suede, lined with shearling and detailed with rear buckles that allow the boot to be worn folded or upright. The loafer, chunky and grounded by a squared sole, pairs exposed shearling with smooth suede for a tactile clash of textures. The hiker boot reworks a mountain silhouette into a piece of urban armour: functional yet fashion-forward. All three arrive in a tight colour palette of chestnut and black, grounding their exaggerated proportions in familiar, classic tones.
