Method Man & Redman Add Hip-Hop Style To Aimé Leon Dore’s UGG Collab
Method Man & Redman join forces once again, this time to help unveil the new footwear collaboration by Aimé Leon Dore and UGG.

Street fashion is one of the core elements of hip-hop that some might even argue qualifies as a pillar. Where would your favorite emcee be without the right gear to flex on the competition with? How many rappers have we seen go from dropping bars in the booth to dropping collections on the runway?
That’s why it makes perfect sense that New York streetwear staple Aimé Leon Dore would tap two of hip-hop’s most beloved lyricists to help spearhead their new campaign for a collaboration alongside UGG.
Choosing partners in rhyme Method Man & Redman, well, that’s just an added bonus.

The UGG ALD Slipper is the debut footwear collaboration between both brands, almost surprising that it hasn’t happened already. Blending the comfort you expect from UGG with the premium aesthetic Aimé Leon Dore has built its following on, the result is a classic moccasin reinterpreted to fit the ethos of both brands. The shoe comes available in two premium leather color options of “Dark Coffee Bean” and “Goldenrod.”
Meth & Red flex both colorways in the campaign video (seen above), which sees them reminiscing over a newfound “walk with purpose” as elder statesmen of rap. From finding family time and being comfortable in solitude, to gaining value in having less thanks to a quotable from KRS-One, the stoop talk works as a timely message as we navigate Hip-Hop History Month in addition to being a great way to sell some shoes.
