United Nude: Revolutionizing Footwear With Architectural Genius

Founded in 2003 by Rem D. Koolhaas, a Dutch architect, together with Galahad Clark (a seventh-generation British shoemaker), each pair of United Nude shoes is a reinterpretation of an architectural object or seen as an exploration of the possibilities offered by movement, colors, and materials.

Collaborations With High-Profile Creatives

Commencing with its inaugural ‘Möbius’ shoe, the Amsterdam-based footwear brand is guided in equal parts by pushing the boundaries of footwear design and collaborating on limited edition releases with high-profile creatives, including Lady Gaga, Iris van Herpen, Zaha Hadid, Issey Miyake, Linda Farrow, and Ronald van der Kemp.

Celebrity fans include Lady Gaga, Ellie Goulding, Viktoria Modesta, Khloé Kardashian, Eve, Taylor Swift, and Billy Porter. United Nude has established itself as an iconic brand at the intersection between design and fashion.

In December 2012, Stephanie Pratt was spotted in a pair of incredibly fun and modern Iris van Herpen x United Nude “Crystallization” boots while attending KIIS FM’s 2012 Jingle Ball L.A.

While I’m not a huge fan of Stephanie’s ensemble, I love her shoes. It would have been better to style them with a soft sweater in a deep, rich oxblood color and slim black leather-trimmed trousers.
