Cowboy Boot Collabs Are Riding High

Within the long-running western trend in fashion — sometimes called “cowboycore” — cowboy boots represent a niche that deserves a closer look. A steady stream of collaborations has come to light in this category of late, mostly limited editions, involving specialist cowboy boot marketers as well as broader footwear brands. Country singers have been particularly active as licensors in this space, followed by designers, with a few other IPs in the mix as well. The styles range from more traditional offerings to luxury and fashion-forward takes.  

Some of the many examples from 2025 include the following: 

• Miron Crosby, a luxury cowboy boot specialist, paired with designer Carolina Herrera in November for two styles in limited editions of 75 pairs each. The 17-inch black and the 8-inch gold boot, inspired by the Carolina Herrera fall 2025 collection, both featured white tulips, stars, and arrows as design elements. The boots can be customized if purchased online. 

• Another luxury cowboy boot brand, Partlow, collaborated with upscale women’s design label Adam Lippes in October for a collection of two napa leather and suede boots, one a midcalf and the other a knee-high style, in a variety of colors. The products, which are handcrafted in Italy, give a minimalist spin to the traditional cowboy boot silhouette. 

• Western specialist bootmaker Lucchese announced it was producing a second collection with country singer Chris Stapleton in October, after a previous collab in 2023. Chris Stapleton: Volume II included six boots, many of them in the same styles as the 2023 capsule, with new colorways and exotic leathers. It also included the partners’ first apparel item, a classic-fit Western shirt. In June, Lucchese debuted a collection with another country singer, Parker McCollum, also for the second time after a pairing in 2024. Lucchese x Parker McCollum: The Encore included a reprise of two boots from the first collection in new colorways, as well as a new style, each with handcrafted elements like floral patterns. Cotton t-shirts, button-down shirts, and baseball caps, each in two styles, accompanied the boots. And, in August, Lucchese released a luxury collection of three men’s and three women’s boots celebrating the history of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, with which the bootmaker already had a promotional partnership as the official boot of the team. Licensed caps and leather-trimmed clear bags were also available as part of the collaboration. 

• Cowboy boot specialist Tecovas partnered with Mossy Oak in August for a limited fall collection of two boots, one in a vintage Mossy Oak fall foliage camo print being brought back exclusively for the collaboration, and another in one of the camo maker’s signature prints, Original Bottomland. Two shirts, four hats, and a belt will also be released, with the fall foliage pattern featured. Separately, Tecovas paired with the fast-casual restaurant chain Chili’s, in July, to create what it called Booth Boots, in two styles, along with a Booth Belt. The items were made from the same material used to produce Chili’s red booths. 

• Justin Boots teamed with country singer Jenna Paulette in May for a Sunrise and Sunset Collection of cowboy boots in 11- and 17-inch heights, designed for durability, function, and style. Separately, in December, the company released the latest entries in its long-term Reba by Justin Collection, which debuted in 2017 in collaboration with country star and actress Reba McEntire. The new line of five styles of women’s boots, in red, black, and ivory, was described as “tough sexy,” in keeping with the overall vibe of the licensed line. 

• In February, Western bootmaker Lane Boots joined with country singer Megan Moroney for a limited collection for women, including a version of Lane’s Smokeshow style featuring embroidery, a heart-shaped heel pin, a blue sole, and scalloped edges. Two boot charms were also released as part of the initiative. 

• In January, Hyer Boots and The American Royal, a nonprofit group that champions food and agriculture and sponsors events like rodeos, livestock shows, and barbecues, came together for a limited-edition boot style. The two Kansas City-based partners captured the shared history between them in the design of the product.   

These 2025 deals follow on others that went before, such as Frye Boot’s October 2024 three-style collection with Cole Hauser, one of the stars of Yellowstone, to name just one. 

As these examples show, female country singers are particularly avid collaborators in this category. The connection between these performers and cowboy boots is so strong that country star Lainey Wilson even launched her own boot brand, Golden West, which is releasing a limited cherry red boot with a butterfly design in time for Valentine’s Day this year. It comes with a charm necklace from Wilson’s proprietary jewelry brand. 

Note that cowboy boot styles sometimes serve as inspiration for collaborations between brands that have no historical connections with the western U.S. In July 2025, Hunter, the now Authentic Brands Group-owned British heritage footwear brand, paired with U.K. luxury label Represent for a collaboration that combined traditional British influences with Americana by rethinking Hunter’s Original Wellington Boot in two styles. They were, like the classic Welly, made of rubber, but they featured Western details such as embossed patterns resembling cowboy boot stitching. Hoodies and t-shirts were also part of the collection.  

And in May, Brazilian footwear brand Melissa jumped on the cowboy boot trend in a venture with Parision fashion label Maldito. The design of the collaborative plastic cowboy boot, described as feminine and Parisian, included a sculptured wavy bow and came in pink, black, and purple. The European label, while it does not have an Americana heritage, is known for its fashion-forward takes on traditional cowboy styles.
