Ciara’s Best Shoe Moments: From Giuseppe Zanotti Sandals to Nike Air Force 1s

Since their picturesque wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England, on July 6, 2016, Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson have become one of fashion’s most-watched power couples.

Beyond their growing family—which includes daughter Sienna, son Win, and Ciara’s son Future Zahir—the duo frequently makes headlines for their coordinated, high-fashion public appearances.

Ciara’s Date Night Look: David Koma Leather & Giuseppe Zanotti “Catia” Sandals

A standout moment in their style evolution occurred in June 2021, when the couple attended a high-profile dinner at Philippe Chow in New York City. The evening served as a masterclass in “date night” styling, showcasing Ciara’s penchant for edgy silhouettes and luxury footwear.

Looking all loved up, the couple walked arm in arm, with Russell clad in a casual camo jacket, a dark gray tee, faded denim shorts, and white Nike shoes.

Meanwhile, the Goodies singer pulled out all the stops in a revealing black leather mini dress that put her enviable assets on full display.

Rocking an edgy look, the Like A Boy hitmaker showed off plenty of cleavage and toned legs in the tiny number from David Koma’s AW 2021 collection.

The thigh-skimming fitted dress is crafted from supple leather and features a scoop neckline and a button-down front.

Ciara enhanced her date outfit with earrings, bangles, and several diamond rings.

She wore her new blonde hair in a sleek, edgy, blunt-cut bob with a side parting, and highlighted her features with mascara, peach blush, lip gloss, and shimmery eyeshadow.

Ciara completed her date night outfit with the Giuseppe Zanotti “Catia” sandals, featuring ankle-wrap fastenings that are on-trend this summer. Chrissy Teigen is also a fan of these heels and has worn them with several different outfits.

Family Style: Matching 3BRAND Sportswear & Classic White Nike Air Force 1s

That same year, Ciara’s husband launched his 3BRAND kids’ clothing line with Nike, which was presented at the opening of Rookie USA’s flagship store in NYC. 3BRAND was named after Russell’s NFL uniform number.

“As a young kid, I used to dream about playing in the pros. I would do the Michael Jordan crossover move wearing his shoes. The biggest reason I wanted to create 3BRAND was for my fans to have my gear and for them to be able to experience everything I’ve dreamed about,” Russell told Forbes.

“I was fortunate enough to create this logo and be part of the process behind creating 3BRAND. The number 3 means so much to me. 3BRAND represents the mind, body, and soul. I live 3 things every day of my life – sports, music, and fashion. Ciara and I have three children, and it’s my football number,” he added about the launch of his signature clothing brand 3BRAND.

The professional football player enlisted his wife and children to model his fashion line, a 40-piece collection of sportswear for boys and girls ages 1 to 20.

The family of five walked the red carpet in matching blue-and-green sporty ensembles from the collection. They wore matching white Nike Air Force 1s to complete their outfits. Future Jr. also rocked Ray-Ban sunglasses.
