Singer-Branded Luxury Footwear

These Zayn Malik Shoes Were Designed with Giuseppe Zanotti

— January 5, 2017 — Fashion
This range of Zayn Malik shoes comes from a collaboration that the singer-songwriter did with Giuseppe Zanotti, an Italian luxury footwear designer.

The sneakers and boots that are offered suit the star's personal style, with masculine silhouettes and neutral colorways making up the collection. Like everything that's churned out from the luxury footwear designer, the quality of the Zayn Malik shoes is evident upon first glance, as the premium leather and soft suede that constructs them is at the focus.

A few accents decorate the material on some of the sneakers and boots, which feature shimmering silver zippers complementing the sides. In addition, Giuseppe Zanotti and Zayn Malik's collaborative branding is included on each model, making the joint effort clear and increasing their appeal to the singer's vast base of young fans.
