From Surf to Street: The UGG Journey
UGG boots might be synonymous with cold-weather style now, but they started out as the go-to for Australian surfers in the '70s.
Designed by surfer Brian Smith, the first UGG boots were all about that warm, cosy sheepskin feel after hitting the waves. It didn’t take long for UGGs to cross over to California’s shores, quickly becoming a SoCal icon. Fast forward to today, and UGGs have a global fanbase—from trendsetters in Tokyo to fashionistas in London—making them a true icon in the footwear world.
With winter well on its way, it’s prime time to invest in a pair of UGGs. These boots bring both the warmth you need and the style you want. Here’s what we’ve got in store for you at KershKicks:
