A Look Back At Highlights From FN’s Achievement Awards 2015
On the night of Dec. 2, 2015, footwear power players, designers, celebrities and executives came together to celebrate the shoe industry’s night of nights — often dubbed the “shoe Oscars.”
The evening, which was sponsored by FFANY, Zappos Couture and FDRA, kicked off with a red carpet that featured statement footwear from the likes of Fergie, Bel Powley, Alexa Chung and more. Kanye West, the recipient of FN’s Shoe of the Year award for his Adidas Yeezy Boosts, arrived wearing Yeezy 950 boots.
When West took the stage, the designer captivated the crowd of retailers, tastemakers and fellow shoe designers with his nearly 20-minute acceptance speech. While his wife, Kim Kardashian West, couldn’t be at the awards, the star sent a special Instagram message to him for the big win.
