Rem D Koolhaas' [United Nude](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-arrows-1) collaborated with model Shaun Ross to create a unique and unisex [high-heel boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-slipon-suede-boots) for all. According to the collaborators, the new footwear design was developed "with no particular individual in mind" and aims to break the stereotype that heels are only for women.

The Shaun Ross x United Nude high-heeled boot is available in both white and black colorways, each of which is crafted with [napa leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-leather-boot). As well as being available in two different colors, the boots are offered in two different heights, one that reaches the upper calf and another version that stops at the ankle. On the inner corner of each heel, there's chrome detailing that creates an illusory shape and makes the heel seem sharper than it really is.
