Collaboratively Made Rapper Footwear

Cardi B and Steve Madden Joined to Launch Fresh Designs

'Bodak Yellow' rapper Cardi B and Steve Madden recently joined forces to launch a range of footwear.

This marks the first fashion collaboration for the rapper, and it's a fitting one, given the love she's shown Steve Madden on her Instagram account in the past. Included in the range are thigh-high boots, retro white platforms, bedazzled pointed toe booties, bold lace-up designs, and much more. Given Cardi B's known love for elaborate fashion, it's no surprise that much of the footwear boasts bold colorways, such as the pointed toe boots that are a vivid hue of hot pink.

In addition to the many different footwear styles, the Cardi B and Steve Madden collaborative range includes curated accessories and garments that suit the rapper's aesthetic.
