UGG Golden and Heritage Utility Collections Introduce Warm-Weather Styles
The UGG Golden and Heritage Utility collections present the brand’s Spring 2026 footwear lineup, expanding its catalog beyond the iconic shearling boots associated with colder seasons. The UGG Golden and Heritage Utility collections introduce sandals, clogs, and sneakers designed for transitional and warm-weather wear while maintaining the brand’s emphasis on comfort and durable materials.
The women’s Golden Collection includes models such as the GoldenGlow Embossed and GoldenGaze Embossed Ankle Wrap, which feature crocodile-pattern textures and straps made from 100 percent recycled fibers. Additional designs include the Goldenstar Hi Artistitch sandal with suede panels and espadrille-inspired embroidery, alongside the Goldenstar Wildwood style built with lightweight CORDURA UltraLite fabric and metal hardware.
The men’s Heritage Utility collection focuses on functional sneakers designed for everyday wear, including the Heritage Utility Axoid with Spider Rubber traction pods and a protective mudguard. Another model, the Heritage Utility Sneaker Knoll, combines distressed suede uppers with recycled textile linings to create a worn-in look paired with modern comfort.
