Ottolinger’s Moon Boots – HYPEBEAST
Fri 25 Nov
As the weather takes a turn for the worse, it’s time to strap up in all our comfiest, coziest, warmest garms — perhaps even a pair of OTTOLINGER MOON BOOTS to top things off.
Fresh from its Fall 2022 collection, the Cosima Gadient and Christa Bösch-helmed Berlin-based brand brings the divisive moon boot into the year 3022. Not designed by the brand that claims the shoe style’s name, OTTOLINGER’s offering takes the classic moon boot aesthetic that surfaced in the ’70s (and was worn by high-flying après-ski goers) and gives it a retro-futuristic, underground rave-scene aesthetic that’s fit for cold nights in Berghain.
Coming in either black-grey or cream-grey in both a high or low silhouette, the moon boot sports a construction comprising padded nylon with a further smattering of padded nylon piping, defining the silhouette. OTTOLINGER’s signature knot detailing graces the front, doubling up as a pair of laces that tighten the pair to your leg, while a rubber sole unit on the bottom (also covered in padded nylon) brings the height up a notch.
