My fans have been waiting for my shoe for a very long time, so I knew once I did it could must be good,” Blige said, per Footwear news. “From start to finish, Giuseppe simply understood what I wanted and helped make the idea a reality.”

Following the success of their first release this spring, Giuseppe Zanotti and Mary J. Blige are expanding their collaboration with a new shoe design. Maintaining the identical thigh-high silhouette as the primary “Mary Boot,” which arrived in metallic rose gold, the most recent addition is crafted from white patent leather. However, white “Mary Boot” it comes with a higher price tag than the unique at $1,495.

“I’m really grateful to my fans. “The reaction to my first shoe collaboration with Giuseppe really amazed me,” she said WWD. “The new thigh-high version, made of winter white patent, was born out of the expectations of my fans. I’ve been asked to make my own over-the-knee boots for years and it’s exciting that they’re here and I can continue working with my friend Giuseppe.”

While she is often known as the “queen of hip-hop and soul,” Mary J. Blige has also earned the nickname “the shoe queen.” Since her introduction to the music industry along with her debut album “What’s the 411?” within the early ’90s, thigh-high boots were a staple of her glamorous red carpet outfits and stage appearances.

The shoe’s release coincides with the release of Blige’s fifteenth studio album, “Gratitude,” which is now available on streaming platforms. Buy each versions of “Mary Boot” at Giuseppe Zanotti’s website.
