Jimmy Choo to Design Uggs Capsule Collection

We can't wait to see what happens when two footwear world collide. Photo: Bergdorfgoodman.com | UGGAustralia.com

Here's something we never, ever, ever (seriously -- NEVER) thought we'd say: We're so psyched for the new UGG Boots collection!

Of course, these aren't just any old UGG Boots. These are -- drum roll please -- Jimmy Choo UGG Boots. For real.

The luxury footwear label has announced that it has partnered with UGG Australia on a capsule collection of women's sheepskin footwear, according to a statement.

Set to launch in October, the UGG & Jimmy Choo line -- rumored to range in price from $595-$795 -- will feature five shoe styles available in multiple colors, the press release says.

"Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe," Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon says. (Honey, we need to talk.)

"We are delighted to have created a special capsule that captures the best of both brands -- the legendary comfort of UGG with the spirit of Jimmy Choo."

"We are thrilled to be able to offer the Jimmy Choo and UGG customers a unique collection of boots that we believe our customers will covet," seconded Connie X. Rishwain, UGG Australia's president.

The collection will reportedly be sold at Jimmy Choo boutiques, online at each brand's Website and at select department stores and specialty boutiques.

So, will Jimmy Choo be able to repeat the magical makeover it gave Hunter wellies? Or will the marshmallowy UGG style be more than they can handle?

And will we have to take back every snide remark we've ever made about UGG Boots? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, check out Jean Paul Gaultier's shoe collaboration with Pataugas.

Shop the selection of UGG Boots below.

I'm excited for this train wreck of a collaboration, because it'll mean that the older version of the Ugg, which I love, will probably sold for cheaper!

I loe it when out of touch designers who live in their iory towers with their hired help try to make "improvements" on things that were fine to begin with. Jimmy Choo, my a@@.

HIDEOUS. Jimmy Choo or no.......children today have ZERO style sense. Heads up, folks......just because it's trendy, doesn't make it stylish or smart. MORONS!

listen, i agree that uggs are ugly.
BUT have you ever actually worn them on your feet??
one day at work i threw on a spare pair of my boss's uggs and and she instantly told me i could have them. i always always always hated them but they are honestly really comfortable! and best of all, warm as an oven. and theyre pretty much impenetrable, you could walk a mile through a foot of slush and your toes would be warm and toasty the whole way, socks dry. i still have them to this day, three years later.

true story.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give you 1 penny for a Jimmy Choo Ugg, but I WILL buy a normal everyday Ugg....They ARE practical AND useful! No need for socks, the shearling inside keep your feet toasty warm even if you're out shoveling snow for hours. Here's a clue, I don't give a CRAP about style when it comes to keeping warm in the winter in the Northeast.

These el cheepos at places like wall-mart for about $20 i am sure has hurt their sale. Not that these people would buy uggs but because every where you look going down the street you see them. I hate to wear my now because I feel people think I have on the wal-mart line. By the way you don't wear socks with them you go barefooted. I say the sheep are pretty smart they know how to keep warm. There was another brand called Pugs they were about $100 or a little over I tried a pair of those also. They were pretty good.

I love Uggs. They're the most comfortable cold weather shoe I've ever worn.

wgats funny about these "austrailian" uggs is that if you look inside at the tag, they are made in china just like every other piece of $h1t knock off. so either by chinese fake name brand for $180 or by the cheap no name from china, hell they probably came out of the same sweatshop anyways

I can't believe anyone spent any money at all on these pieces of crap in the past.Seriously girls...just cause Seventeen says they're cute(lol you allow yourselves to be marketed to), it doesn't mean they're really cute.They're beyond fugly.At least they sort of warn the buyer through the name.These boots really are "ugg".

And as for the "omg but they're warm T_T They have a function so I'm not a sell out" factor.Do you have any idea how trashy it looks to wear slippers in public?Yeah.They invented these things years ago to alleviate the problem.They're called socks.

I am on my feet all day on a concrete floor that is incredibly cold in the winter time. Am I worrying that my Ugg's are ugly? No... I am thankful that I am wearing a shoe that is warm and comfortable not to mention sturdy and well-made. I have a brown pair and a black pair and I wear one or the other every day in the winter.
If they were just a silly fad it would be one thing but they have earned their popularity with their functionality.

Ok, I agree that $795 dollars for a pair of boots is totally ridiculous! I happen to love uggs actually and I don't think it's a good thing to do to just attack something as being "fugly" and stupid when obviously they're doing something right to have survived being more than a one season fad. Uggs are extremely warm and comfortable and I bet you all liked and wore some stuff that you'd now think was "fugly" when you were young! Also adults and older people have a different sense of style than young people.

Everyone wants to buy cheap and fine goods. I think so, too. In the cold season, I need a pair of shoes to keep my feet warm, and fashion. Therefore, I find it all the time,but failed. Until one day my friend introduce UGG boots to me. These boots are so warmth and cute that I can wear it with many kinds of clothes. Cheap UGG boots only cost less money, and I can wear it go to anyplace,not stay at home in winter. Now I would like to recommend that the store where I bought from online, www.girluggboots.com, there are many different fashion styles of ugg boots, top quality, satisfactory sevice, free shipping and no tax. I believe you also can choose one pair suited for you.
