Channel A Throwback Rap Star In Lugz Boots

In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, there was one brand that seemed to show up on the feet of every rap personality: Lugz. Endorsed by megastars like Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, these shoes managed to look simultaneously street-worthy and “I’ve made it” luxe.

But these shoes aren’t just for the guys. Get your own and rock them like the best female rappers of the era would have done.

Eve

Known for hits like “Let Me Blow Ya Mind,” Grammy award winner Eve was at the top of her game in the early 2000s. She’s recognizable immediately by the distinctive  paw tattoos placed strategically on her chest, so do some mind-blowing of your own by donning a top that shows off your decolletage, then add camouflage pants and black Lugz boots.

Lil’ Kim

One of only two female rap artists to have three platinum albums to her name, Lil’ Kim is an undeniably important force in music history. Perhaps her most famous outfit is the revealing purple outfit she wore to the 1999 VMAs. If you love her look but aren’t quite ready for a glittery pasty, try out a (relatively) lower-key version of her look with tall Lugz boots, a bikini top and an oversized fur.

Missy Elliott

Anyone alive who listened to rap in the mid-2000s remembers Missy Elliott’s video for “Lose Control,” which won numerous awards and was one of the most-played music videos in America at the time. Channel Missy’s signature tomboyish style in an oversized track suit, a blinged-out cap and chunky Lugz boots.

You’ll be ready to work it whether you’re headed to the recording studio or just out for the weekend when you don Lugz boots.
