Moon Boots trend returns to earth
Syracuse Universityâs spring semester is defined by hoards of Canada-Goose-wearing students and @BarstoolCuse videos of people slipping down the hill next to Ernie on their way to class. A huge part of campus culture at SU is braving the constant snow, ice and wind from January until April, and with that comes adapting fashion trends to accommodate the frigid climate.
Enter: the Moon Boot.

A brief history of Moon Boots
Inspired by the moon landing in 1969, shoe designer Giancarlo Zanatta created the original Moon Boots that same year. The fittingly-named âIconâ boots were a staple of 70âs fashion, later making a reappearance in the early 2000âs – Paris Hilton in her unforgettable pink tracksuit and (obviously pink) matching Moon Boots.
The bootsâ unique yet contradictory silhouette gives off retro ’70s vibes while also looking distinctly futuristic. Seemingly impossible to style, the Icons have withstood the test of time, their strange design making any outfit look high-fashion. So much so that Moon Boots were showcased in the Louvre Museum in the early 2000s, styled in numerous runway shows, and partnered with luxury brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, ChloĂ© and Chanel.
The astronaut-inspired footwear has been around for roughly half a century and the design hasnât strayed far from the original. Moon Boot riffs off the O.G. Icon design, strategically creating an extremely identifiable brand image. Throughout the years, the biggest changes the company has made to the design include adding new colors and making the height of the boot shorter.
