Mary J. Blige has unveiled her long-awaited boot line in collaboration with a luxury brand, spurred by years of fan requests. At the “Strength of a Woman” festival, she excitedly introduced the boots as the “Mary Boot,” announcing they would be available starting May 11.
The “Giuseppe for Mary J. Blige” boots feature an over-the-knee design with a striking block heel finished in mirrored rose gold. Priced at $1,295, these boots are available on the Giuseppe website and at their Atlanta store.
The Primetime Emmy winner expressed that boots have always empowered her, crediting Giuseppe for turning her vision into reality by fully grasping her concept. Giuseppe Zanotti, in return, praised Mary for her fierce personality and distinctive style.
Social media reactions varied, with some fans expressing disappointment over the high price point, wishing for a more affordable collaboration, like with Target, while others humorously noted that if it were Beyoncé’s product, fans might go to extremes to afford it.
