Even sacai's Formal Steppers Channeled Their Animals Instincts for FW25

sacai's Fall/Winter 2025 presentation was not only another satisfying offering of beautifully reconstructed clothing by Chitose Abe, but also a feast of great team-ups. Amongst its lineup, sacai debuted another collaboration with J.M Weston, delivering a fresh batch of footwear channeling pure animal instincts.

The J.M. Weston x sacai shoe collection included a loafer, Chelsea boot, derby, and worker boot, designed with subtly exaggerated soles like those seen on sacai's Nike sneakers. Most notably, the collaborative footwear also boasted new cowhide and extra smooth leather constructions.

At sacai's SS25 show, the fashion label linked with J.M. Weston for cheetah and suede formal shoes. For FW25, sacai and the French shoe label help advance fashion's infatuation with cowhide. It's true: the furry material is indeed the moo(d) in the industry right now.

sacai's FW25 runway show featured a continued partnership Carhartt, bringing more reimagined workwear into the fold. sacai also debuted a new UGG collab after linking with the iconic boot brand in 2018.

Given these collaborations appeared in the FW25 presentation, it's safe to assume that they will arrive sometime during the fall season. But maybe if we pray to fashion gods enough, we'll catch them sooner.
