Over the years, Mary J. Blige has become known for rocking some of the hottest thigh-high boots, leading fans to demand she drop her own line. Well, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul listened and has officially joined forces with Giuseppe Zanotti for a limited edition “Mary Boot.


During a concert at her third annual Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit — which was held in her hometown of New York City this year — Blige took a moment to announce that she collaborated with the high-fashion house.


“Mary J. Blige and Giuseppe just created the Mary J. Blige boot and you can get these boots tomorrow online. Monday. They are for sale,” she informed the roaring crowd while wearing the slouchy, gleaming gold thigh-high boots. “The Mary boot is here. Everybody has been asking, there ya go! Happy Mother’s Day, ladies!


Following the announcement, Mary also appeared on an episode of the viral segment “Fits From The Streets,” where she was asked to describe the outfit she was wearing and shamelessly plugged her new shoe.


“The Mary J. Blige boot is officially in the universe,” she told the host with “The Mary Boot” in hand. “Everybody’s been requesting it and asking for it. The announcement was made on stage while I was wearing them with a f**king fire outfit. But right now they are available.”


The award-winning Hip-Hop icon wore a mustard yellow shorts set, brown shades, fire-orange deep-wave tresses, and iced-out jewelry to complement. Instead of wearing her Giuseppe boots at the time, she actually sported a brown, open-toe thigh-high boot with gold bubble accents.
