A tribute to Kate Moss — this is the story of a signature shoe. A lifelong muse, the supermodel strode across the world in her red soles. In return, Christian Louboutin envisioned a creation in her image: subtle, sharp, and timeless. In 2012, theKatewas born, followed by theSo Katein 2013. In 2022, theSporty Katereinterpreted the original silhouette with a contemporary edge.

Born in London, theKateembodies electric elegance.
Mysterious and elusive, she moves seamlessly from hushed salons to the underground night. A modern muse, an enfant terrible, she appears where least expected.

Kate is a sharp style, simple, and very complex at the same time. If the line is not very perfect, you don’t have any embellishment to hide it. It sounded so much like Kate, simple yet very sophisticated. I felt this pump just had to be named after her, because it was soooooo Kate.

An ode to femininity

She is the embodiment of allure.

The art of creation

It all begins in Paris with a sketch by Christian Louboutin. Then, on to Italy, where the pump takes shape — the result of masterful hands and cutting-edge technology. Every line is considered, every detail refined. And as a final signature: the red sole. Thus, theKateis born.
