United Nude is an English shoe brand that produces accessories, women's and men's shoes with incredible architecture. Shoes from this manufacturer began to win the hearts of our compatriots relatively recently, but there is clearly progress. Today, more and more fashionistas are deciding on considerable expenses for the sake of a pair of extravagant clogs, shoes or United Nude boots.
History of United Nude
I want to consider these shoes, for a long time flipping through the photo of catalogs and advertising booklets. In our world, where, it would seem, everything was invented and discovered long ago, the creators of the brand really managed to come up with something completely extraordinary.
The brand, so unlike anything else, was the result of the joint work of architect Ram Koolhaaz and hereditary shoe maker Galahard Clark, who came from a family of founders of the Clarks brand.
Famous models
The first creation of Ram was a model of Möbius shoes with an incredible sole and heel. Later, United Nude clogs and ankle boots with the same architecture were also released.
The debut took place in 2003. The Möbius model was the first to be presented to the public. Today, these shoes are considered the brand's legend, a living classic that does not lose its relevance even 15 years after its creation.
Ram and Galahard more than once collaborated with many talented designers and artists. For Iris Van Herpen, the brand created shoes designed for fashion shows 9 times. Together with architect Zaha, Hadid Ram invented the NOVA ankle boots (2013), which are presented in the following photo.
United Nude creates shoes for those who are not afraid to shine and attract attention. It is simply impossible not to recall the eccentric Lady Gaga here. Pop diva is really a hot fan of Ram. Especially for her was invented an incredible model of ankle boots, called Fame. To create the shoes used leather of excellent quality, painted in a deep black color. Equipped with a high platform and stiletto heels, the ankle boots are decorated with golden figures of men climbing up.
Noteworthy is the unique Lo Res series. It includes several models that resemble either precious crystals or an unprofessional pixelated photo of “normal” shoes. The creators joke that they initially made ordinary shoes, and then scanned them and printed in low resolution.
Another famous feature of the brand is an inverted heel. It is as if "growing" from the foot parallel to the ground, and not from the heel, as expected, perpendicularly. The design looks very unusual, but to many it seems that it is completely unstable. You should not be afraid, because a professional architect worked on it.
But you should not think that all United Nude shoes are too pretentious to be worn in everyday life. Today, the brand continues to advance, confidently winning its place under the Sun. Products are sold in over 40 countries.
The shops
Russian fashionistas can purchase products in the official online store unitednude.ru, as well as in some multi-brand boutiques.
And for those who like to feel and try on everything before buying, you should visit the United Nude brand stores in Moscow:
- TC “Tsvetnoy”, Tsvetnoy Boulevard, 15.
- TC FASHION HOUSE, st. Commercial and Industrial, 6.
Prices
In reviews of United Nude, references are often made that the main drawback of all brand products is the rather high price. The price tag for a pair of ankle boots starts at 12,000 rubles. Some models, especially cult and widely publicized, are even more expensive - within 40 thousand.
The high cost is due not only to the popularity of the brand and the cool design, but also to excellent quality. The company practically does not use leatherette, preferring genuine leather. It is from this noble material that the top, the inside of the shoe, and the insole are made.
Reviews
Deciding on such a purchase can be difficult. But as many owners of United Nude ankle boots assure, these shoes are simply impossible not to fall in love with. Gorgeous fit, extreme accuracy of execution, high-quality seams and expensive fittings and a comfortable shoe are the perfect complement to the stylish design.
The products also show excellent performance during operation. According to many shoe owners, even the high height and unusual shape of the heels do not affect comfort. Walking in such shoes is nice and very comfortable. But, according to many girls, the decision to purchase United Nude ankle boots is only for those who are not shy, being in the center of attention, and are not shy about admiring exclamations.
