Proenza Schouler’s latest collaboration with Sorel has officially arrived, adding a stylish downtown edge to your go-to winter boots. Unveiled during New York Fashion Week, the highly anticipated collaboration brings together the metropolitan flair of designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez with the rugged practicality of Sorel’s iconic footwear. The collection features two standout boot styles, offering a modern, fashion-forward take on winter wear.
The Boots You Need for Fall & Winter
The Sorel x Proenza Schouler boots were designed to complement the Spring 2025 collection, which played with bold colors, patterns, and textures. Key looks included cobalt blue trench coats, minimalist knitwear, and asymmetrical skirts inspired by American artist Barnett Newman. These new boots serve as the perfect accessory to these chic, modern outfits, ideal for any city slicker braving the colder months ahead.

Two distinct boot styles debuted in this collection: the Caribou Chelsea Women’s Boots and the Caribou Mules. Both styles incorporate Sorel’s signature waterproof vulcanized rubber shell and the brand’s innovative Aero-Trac sole for superior grip and traction. With a nod to New York’s urban spirit, the boots are available in bold, contrasting colorways, including a striking taxicab yellow and black, as well as a more minimalist white and black option.
These boots are built for the elements but designed to elevate your winter wardrobe with a touch of sophistication and style.
Behind the Collaboration: Craft Meets Comfort
In an interview McCollough and Hernandez explained their decision to partner with Sorel, a brand they personally love for its practical, weather-ready footwear. “We liked the Sorel × Proenza Schouler Caribou styles as a counterpoint to some of the floatier and more feminine pieces in the Spring/Summer 2025 show—specifically, the weight the Chelsea boot and mules gave to our silhouettes,” the designers shared. “The black and white color palette, contrast topstitch, and polished leather really make this collaboration feel like a blend of our two worlds.”
While the Spring 2025 runway collection won’t be available for purchase until next year, the Sorel x Proenza Schouler boots are available now. With prices ranging from $350 to $400, these boots are a perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe—and they’re sure to sell out fast. Don’t wait—shop the collection now at Nordstrom, Shopbop, Sorel, Proenza Schouler, and select retailers.
