When we think of Moncler, we think cool travel gear that helps us withstand biting winters and high trekking mileage. They’re always at the top of their game when it comes to solving real problems in style. From Poldo Dog Couture to StyleBOP.com, they’ve never shied away from enlisting the expertise of other brands to bolster the technology in their collections.
In a new effort to transform necessity into desirability, Moncler has teamed up with Moon Boot, the iconic Maison of aprés ski shoes, to release a capsule collection of footwear marrying luxury fashion with impressive winter boots.
Moon Boots, which were all the rage back in the early 1970’s, were directly inspired by the aesthetic appeal of an actual astronaut boot. While they’re intended for walking on ground, they certainly have a certain gravitas about them.

In their collaboration with Moncler, silky nylons and cozy furs are juxtaposed with structural rubber and chunky shoelaces, imbuing the final product with a blend of masculine finesse. Sticking true to both brands’ values and aesthetic, the bulk of the collection is set in an all-black colourway, which is stylistically classical to the boot. The rest of the ensemble comes in highly complementary nude and neutral tones, with an extensive variety of materials and cuts to suit the needs of every wearer.
Moon Boot’s iconic use of monochromatic tones to give their boots depth and intrigue plays into the Moncler identity well. We can already imagine ourselves wearing our covetable boots on vacation looking like fashion influencers of the future. We’d go so far to say that these buff beauties look almost Hypebeast-worthy (Rick Owens / Yeezy vibes, anybody?)!
The Moon Boots x Moncler collection is now available on their official website, as well as other sites like Farfetch and MyTheresa.com.
