One Pair, Three Different Looks: A UGG Platform Sandal

“Platform sandals look great, but aren’t they hard to walk in?” The UGG GOLDENRISE overturns that impression. Launched as part of the 2025 Spring/Summer collection, it drew wide attention through a global campaign featuring HANNI of NewJeans. Simply swapping the strap gives you three different ways to wear it — a playful, versatile pair. Here we take a closer look at the appeal of the GOLDENRISE in black (model number 1167431).

About the UGG Brand

When you hear UGG, you probably picture those soft sheepskin boots. Founded in 1978 by an Australian surfer, UGG has grown into a global brand that now offers sandals and sneakers as well as boots. Its commitment to comfort remains unchanged, while trend-led platform designs have won enthusiastic support from younger generations in recent years.

The brand is best known for its Classic Boot series, lined with wool on the inside and loved worldwide as a winter staple. In recent years the lineup has expanded well beyond that — the Tasman, popular as an indoor shoe, and the elegant Coquette mule among them — into pieces you can enjoy all year round. Even in sandals, worn comfortably against bare skin, the UGG philosophy of comfort is very much alive.

One line UGG has focused on in particular is the Golden collection, which combines platform silhouettes with sustainable materials. The GOLDENRISE arrived as a pair that represents that world.

Sister Models in the Golden Collection

For reference, here are the sister models that belong to the same Golden collection as the GOLDENRISE.

GoldenGlow

The GoldenGlow is a long-standing favorite in the collection. Its rounded, softly curved form is the signature, and because it is also offered in kids’ sizes, parent-and-child matching is an option too.

Goldenstar

The Goldenstar, with its eye-catching star cutout, is another popular model in the collection. It keeps the substantial platform volume while adding a lighter, more playful design.

Features and Highlights of the GOLDENRISE

The GOLDENRISE is a platform sandal made with the wish that whoever wears it will shine. Its defining features are the generously thick platform sole and the freely adjustable straps. The straps are made from 100 percent recycled polyester and the sole from sugarcane-derived EVA, so consideration for the environment runs through every detail. The straps also let you fine-tune the fit across the instep, which means the sandal suits a wide range of foot shapes.

That environmental care extends to every corner of the material selection. The sole uses bio-based EVA made from sugarcane rather than petroleum-based plastic, and the straps are 100 percent recycled polyester. Balancing earth-friendly production with a design that feels current is one of the reasons the GOLDENRISE draws so many fans.

The GOLDENRISE was announced as a highlight of the 2025 Spring/Summer (SS25) collection and drew considerable attention through a global campaign featuring HANNI of NewJeans. Because of that popularity, it remains out of stock on the UGG official website. For anyone who had their eye on it but missed the chance to buy, finding a pre-owned pair in good condition is a valuable opportunity.

How to Enjoy the 3-Way Design

This one pair gives you three ways to wear it.

Wrap the back strap around your ankle for a secure wrap sandal. Switch to the short slingback for a neater, more refined look. Remove the strap entirely and it becomes a slide you can slip on in seconds. Being able to change its expression to match your mood or your outfit is a pleasure unique to the GOLDENRISE.

Color Variations

The pair featured here is the understated black, but the GOLDENRISE also comes in vivid colors that can take center stage in an outfit. Here are the two colors we currently carry.

Black (the pair featured here)

A versatile color that settles easily into any outfit and lets the volume of the platform be the only statement. It works on and off duty, which makes it the easiest pair to enjoy all three styling options with.

Orange (available at our store)

A bright, vitamin-toned orange. Add it to a summer outfit and your feet alone become the highlight. In contrast to black, it lifts the whole look and makes it feel lighter.

Mustard Seed

Mustard Seed is a mustard-toned beige that catches the eye at first glance. It is also the color worn by brand ambassador HANNI in the campaign visuals. A single pair is enough to bring a simple outfit to life.

Jasmine

Jasmine is a soft white tone. Clean and light, it slips naturally into cool summer outfits, and it is a good choice if you want the volume of the platform to read as elegant.

Our store currently carries Black and Orange. For the latest color lineup, please see the UGG official website.

Fit and Comfort

Despite its bold appearance, this sandal is often described as easy to walk in. According to the official specifications, the heel height is approximately 11.4 cm and the forefoot platform approximately 8.2 cm. The sole curves gently upward at the toe, so your stride stays natural even on a thick platform. Each sandal weighs about 525 grams — lighter than its volume suggests.

Sizes are given in US measurements, so please refer to the UGG official size chart for equivalents (as a guide for women’s sizes, US 6 is about 23 cm, US 7 about 24 cm, and US 8 about 25 cm). Because the instep strap lets you adjust the fit, this is an easy pair to size even if you usually find sizing difficult.

Care Tips for Long-Lasting Wear

The straps are polyester, so if they get dirty we recommend wiping them gently with a firmly wrung-out cloth. Note that, according to the official website, the textile used on the upper and lining absorbs water when wet, so it is safest to avoid wearing them in the rain. Stored out of direct sunlight in a well-ventilated place, they will keep their shape and last well.

Styling Suggestions

In black, the GOLDENRISE platform can be the centerpiece of an outfit. Depending on what you pair it with, it shifts between sweet and sharp, casual and refined.

Here are a few styling examples for different occasions.

1. With a dress and bare feet, for a balance of sweet and sharp

Worn with a feminine dress, the volume of the platform keeps the sweetness in check. It is perfect for days out when you want to enjoy a more feminine look.

2. With denim and socks, for relaxed everyday style

Paired with wide or straight denim, it becomes a versatile outfit that can also lengthen the leg line. Adding socks on purpose gives it a current, effortless feel.

3. With wide pants in a fluid fabric, for polished comfort

Worn with wide pants in a soft, fluid fabric, the look stays relaxed yet refined — an easy fit for days when you want something a little more grown-up.

4. With a mini skirt and a delicate top, for a fresh balance

Against the volume of the platform, a deliberately delicate top or a short hemline balances the whole silhouette and completes a look that feels current.

You can wear them bare-legged or with socks, so they stay in rotation from spring through summer and into early autumn. They also make a welcome gift for someone close to you who loves fashion.

Summary and Product Details

With a single strap change, the GOLDENRISE shows three different faces — an ideal pair for anyone who feels that if they are going to buy a sandal, they want to enjoy wearing it in more than one way. Because it is such a popular model, it is often out of stock on the UGG official website, so if it has caught your eye, we recommend taking a look soon.

About the Brands

UGG — The Brand That Revolutionized Comfort

UGG Originals

It all started in 1978, when Australian surfer Brian Smith brought sheepskin boots to California. Originally a practical item for surfers warming up after a session, the brand exploded in popularity in the 2000s after being featured on Oprah Winfrey’s show. Celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kate Moss were spotted wearing them, and “wearing UGG” became a culture of its own.

Built around “comfort you feel the moment you slip them on,” UGG remains one of the rare brands that seamlessly bridges function and fashion — loved around the world to this day.

Jimmy Choo — The Symbol of Luxury

Jimmy Choo Official

Founded in London in 1996 by Malaysian cobbler Jimmy Choo and Vogue editor Tamara Mellon, the brand quickly captured the hearts of fashion’s elite. It gained global recognition through Princess Diana’s patronage, and was cemented into pop culture when Carrie Bradshaw wore their shoes in Sex and the City.

“To make the wearer shine” — this unwavering design philosophy has earned Jimmy Choo a singular place among the world’s luxury brands.

The Moment Two Icons Collided

Image source: Unsplash

In 2009, the fashion world received an announcement nobody saw coming.

The UGG × Jimmy Choo capsule collection had arrived.

The collaboration was led by Jimmy Choo co-founder Tamara Mellon herself — a self-professed UGG fan who once said, “Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG is really the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe.”

Comfort’s icon and luxury’s symbol. Two brands that seemed worlds apart came together in a line of moccasin-inspired boots adorned with studs, fringe, and star motifs.

The collection made headlines across fashion media worldwide the moment it dropped.

And it has never been reproduced since.

What remains in circulation today is limited to what was distributed back in 2009. No more exist beyond that.

The Rarity of These Boots

In fashion, collaboration pieces carry a special kind of value in and of themselves.

But among collaborations, the rarity of a discontinued collab is in a class of its own.

There are no restocks. Buying new is impossible. And tracking down the same pair means searching through markets across the globe.

Two brands — each at the top of their respective worlds — came together just once to create this design. That’s what these boots are.

For collectors, they’re a grail. For those who take fashion seriously, owning them is a statement in itself.

Why These Boots Are Beautiful

At first glance, a simple black mid-calf boot. Look closer, and an entirely different world reveals itself.

The star studs are placed with restraint — not flashy, but quietly radiant. Their expression shifts with the light, offering something new from every angle.

The fringe marks a rhythm with every step. The stillness when standing, the movement when walking — that contrast is what makes these boots not just decorative, but alive.

The black suede is different from glossy leather — it’s matte, with a depth that draws you in. That light-absorbing quality creates a striking contrast with the glimmer of the studs.

The round toe and flat heel ground the design’s bold statement while delivering the practicality to wear them all day long.

How to Style These Boots

These boots have a presence that commands attention. That’s exactly why the key is to keep everything else simple.

① Skinny Denim × Simple Knit

Lookastic

The most classic combination — and the one that never fails.

Let the mid-calf shaft show cleanly against skinny denim, and balance the top with a simple knit or turtleneck. If you’re layering outerwear, a Chester coat or trench coat works best. The studs and fringe naturally take center stage, pulling the whole look together.

For color, go with indigo or black denim, and pair with camel or off-white knitwear — the contrast against the boots’ black is effortlessly chic.

② Midi Skirt × Fitted Knit

Lookastic

For when you want femininity and edge to coexist.

A midi skirt sits perfectly against the top of the boot shaft, creating a clean silhouette for the leg. Every step brings the fringe to life, giving the whole outfit a dynamic, expressive quality.

Velvet or satin skirts bring out a more luxurious feel. Keep the top simple with a ribbed fitted knit to maintain the balance.

③ Casual Down — Oversized Sweatshirt × Wide Pants

Like a princess by Kukä (Pinterest)

Going deliberately casual? These boots can handle it.

Pair an oversized sweatshirt or hoodie with wide-leg pants, and let these boots do the talking at the bottom. The result is that “effortlessly cool” energy — the kind that looks intentional without trying too hard. That’s only possible because of the weight these boots carry.

Other Models from the Jimmy Choo × UGG Collection

The 2009 capsule collection featured several models beyond the star studs & fringe suede boots. All share the same collector demand and are equally difficult to find today.

① Swarovski Crystal Classic Short Boot

The classic UGG short boot silhouette, elevated with Swarovski crystals by Jimmy Choo. The iconic shape remains unchanged, while the crystals add an instant burst of luxury. One of the most popular pieces in the collection for its wearability and glamour.

② Moccasin Fringe & Swarovski Boot

Inspired by Native American moccasin footwear, this model pairs Jimmy Choo’s fringe and Swarovski embellishments with a bohemian silhouette. The blend of free-spirited charm and refined sparkle makes it one of the most versatile pieces in the collection — equally at home in hip-hop-inflected street style or casual chic looks.

③ Jimmy Choo × UGG High Suede Boot (Chestnut)

An alternate colorway from the collection in chestnut. The same studs-and-fringe design as the black model, but the warm earthy tone brings a softer, more feminine quality to the look. Pairs beautifully with autumn earth-tone outfits, offering a different kind of luxurious warmth compared to the black.

Color & Variation: Other Suede Boot Options

While sharing the same core construction and design as the black star studs & fringe boots featured here, other colorways in the collection offer distinctly different expressions.

Chestnut

The other signature color alongside black. Closer to the natural warmth of UGG’s sheepskin heritage, chestnut brings a softer, more inviting character to the design. Where black reads as cool and edgy, chestnut embodies a warm, grown-up luxury. Pairs especially well with autumnal camel and brown tones.

Chocolate Brown

A deeper, more subdued tone than chestnut, with a quieter sophistication overall. The same studs-and-fringe design reads more formal with this colorway, extending its versatility into slightly dressier occasions. Works equally well with casual denim as with elegant brown coats.

Grey

A grey variation confirmed in select markets. Less assertive than black, yet more urbane than chestnut — the grey’s nuanced tone merges with the silver of the studs for a cohesive, refined aesthetic that feels quietly polished.

UGG’s Other Notable Collaborations

Beyond Jimmy Choo, UGG has partnered with a range of brands and creators across fashion, music, and streetwear — always keeping its “comfort” core intact while fusing the distinct identity of each collaborator.

① Telfar

Image source: Unsplash

New York-based Telfar — known for its ethos of “Accessible Luxury” — brought its signature color palette and logo to UGG’s classic boot silhouette. The result was a collection that seamlessly bridged streetwear and high fashion. Renowned for the iconic “Telfar Bag,” the brand’s involvement drew enormous attention, and pieces sold out immediately upon release.

② Molly Goddard

An unexpected pairing with London-based rising designer Molly Goddard. Tulle dresses and ruffles placed alongside UGG boots created a paradoxical fusion of dressy and casual. The collaboration generated buzz at London Fashion Week, showcasing UGG’s capacity for surprise.

③ TUMI

A collaboration with premium luggage and bag brand TUMI, merging UGG’s comfort philosophy with TUMI’s functional design language. The resulting footwear collection prioritized durability alongside everyday wearability — earning strong praise from performance-minded fashion fans.

④ Feng Chen Wang

London-based Chinese designer Feng Chen Wang brought her avant-garde sensibility to UGG’s silhouette, resulting in a collection where craftsmanship and experimental fashion coexist. Distinctive material choices and layering techniques pushed UGG into new creative territory — one of the brand’s most critically acclaimed collabs to date.

In Closing

The UGG × Jimmy Choo collaboration was born in a single moment — when comfort and luxury, California and London, the everyday and the extraordinary crossed paths just once.

These boots are what that moment looks like in physical form.

There will be no reissue. The same pair will never be made again.

If the size fits and something about this design speaks to you — that’s worth taking seriously.

Encounters like this don’t come around twice.
