For decades, women have swooned over the elegance and luxury of Jimmy Choo shoes—but in 2011, the brand set out to redefine men’s footwear as well.

Jimmy Choo made its bold entry into the world of men’s fashion with its first-ever Fall/Winter 2011 collection, introducing stylish and sophisticated designs that brought the brand’s signature craftsmanship to a new audience. From sleek sneakers to rugged biker boots, the collection allowed men to experience the magic of Jimmy Choo firsthand—paving the way for the brand’s ongoing success in the luxury men’s footwear market.

Jimmy Choo’s debut men’s collection in Fall/Winter 2011 introduced an eclectic mix of must-have sneakers, wardrobe-staple motorcycle boots, and a men’s version of the popular Hunter crocodile-embossed wellies—a collaboration that blended luxury with practicality.

The collection also featured a bold paisley-printed slipper, a statement piece that embodied the brand’s signature extravagance over pure functionality.

After all, Jimmy Choo is a brand that prioritizes bold statements and opulence over minimalism.

When the men’s collection debuted in 2011, co-founder and then-chief creative officer Tamara Mellon described the Jimmy Choo man as “one who exudes confidence and style, whether he is an artist or an investment banker.” That vision was reflected in the collection’s bold choices, from metallic-threaded slippers to cashmere sneakers, proving that luxury and statement-making design were at the heart of the brand’s expansion into menswear.

What started as a bold experiment in 2011 has grown into a staple of high-end menswear. Since then, Jimmy Choo has expanded its men’s line with modernized collections featuring sleek dress shoes, bold sneakers, and statement boots, cementing its place in luxury menswear.
