Jennifer Lopez is collaborating with shoe savant Giuseppe Zanotti, a design master whose name ranks with Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik for those in the know. Cobbler to the cognoscenti, Zanotti knows all there is to know about shoes — especially a certain sort of femme fatale style stiletto. It’s the kind of shoe the multi-talented Lopez truly walks the walk in — and she’s found her perfect design partner in Zanotti, who has said his connection with Lopez was so close it’s “like a Bluetooth.”

The Lopez shoes done with Zanotti — or “Giuseppe Zanotti for Jennifer Lopez” as the brand is known — kicked off, so to speak, the new season at the Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus in January 2017. And it isn’t all spiky heels and black straps either. Renaissance woman Lopez is too often on the run and practicing her unique version of glamour to always be in towering heels. This is Jenny from the Block, after all. For certain sidewalks you might just need a $1,395 high top, you know? Lopez knows how to partner. One board on Pinterest is simply called Zanotti the Shoe Genius.
