Fans don’t just watch Katseye for the choreography. The pop group’s style, particularly their coordinated shoes, is part of the draw — and with the 2025 VMAs pre-show coming up, that focus is only sharper.
Since their debut with Hybe x Geffen in late 2023, the six members have treated carpets and stages as equal platforms for coordinated sneakers and boots. Their standout moments read like a fashion timeline: Adidas’ aSMC Rasant 2.0 at Lollapalooza, boots styled by Anna Sui’s team at Jingle Ball inspired by “Mean Girls,” and capsule looks from Miu Miu, Sadi Studios and Puma, both on-stage and off.
Outside the marquee collaborations and designer callouts, the group’s footwear remains deliberate. Patent leather knee-highs, fuzzy boots and rhinestone-flecked sneakers all tie back to the same precise aesthetic.
Ahead, take a look at some of Katseye’s coordinated shoe moments.
