What makes a great piece of fashion footwear? A combination of superior construction, premium comfort technology, understated style and versatility, that’s what. UGG products fit the bill on all marks, which is why Hibbett | City Gear is excited to welcome UGG to our in-store-exclusive brand family in 2021!
From the Outback to the Golden State
UGG boots made their debut in the United States during the late 1970s when Brian Smith brought them to Southern California in hopes of bringing a little bit of Aussie fashion to North America. Routinely worn by Australian surfers to warm to their feet after hitting the waves, UGGs quickly became a favorite in American fashion because they embodied the relaxed vibe southern California was known for. More than 20 years later, these boots maintain their appeal. Oprah has even named UGG boots on her annual list of Favorite Things.
A favorite shoe among the stars and pro athletes Rihanna to Tom Brady, UGG boots have gone from the sunny seaside to the snowy mountains and now you can find your perfect pair of UGG boots at your local Hibbett Sports store.
Styling Your UGGs Like a Pro
You can’t go wrong with pairing some traditional mid-calf-height suede and sheepskin lined UGG boots with a pair of women’s leggings and a hoodie or pullover from The North Face for an effortlessly stylish, yet ridiculously comfortable look. Guys, grab a pair of classic UGG boots and style them with some joggers, a tee and a relaxed-fit sherpa-lined jacket to match.
