Ugg Goes Technical with Reese Cooper Collaboration

Global lifestyle footwear brand Ugg has tapped Reese Cooper to technically advance classic Ugg silhouettes, developing them for multi-terrain use. 

“The goal for me was to create an UGG that could be considered a true everyday shoe. The only thing I ever struggled with when it came to UGG boots was the weather, so material choice and function came first when initially designing. Once those aspects were locked in, it was just refining and tweaking colours and shape to be more interesting but still wearable daily,” said Reese Cooper. 

Their collaboration takes the Mini and Ultra Mini boot to a new frontier, adding a Gore-Tex lining to the staple boots. To deter the elements, Cordura encloses the exterior fabric, combining Ugg comfortability with tested weather resistance. The boots are available in peyote, black on black and Mandarin red. 

The Ugg and Reese Cooper collection is set to drop on April 11th on both brand’s websites, along with pinnacle retailers. Check out the campaign imagery shot in the Californian desert below.
