Rotate unveils first-ever footwear line

Danish brand Rotate is best known for its clothing but it’s hoping that will change as it’s launching its first-ever footwear collection that it says is all about “Scandi-Glam meets bold design”.

Based in Copenhagen, the label is offering pieces as varied as sleek ankle boots and sculptural stilettos, “embodying the duality that defines Rotate”.

The line is tagged as Pre-Spring 2026 and is priced between €350 and €580. It pre-launched exclusively at Level Shoes this month and is available online and at select retailers worldwide from mid-November.

The collection is divided into six categories, including everyday flats, sleek kitten-heel pumps and boots, sculptural stilettos, and high-heeled sandals and boots. It’s drawn inspiration from the spirit of the 1980s and the wider collection reimagines pointy pumps, and sharp silhouettes with a “playful, contemporary twist”. Signature details include sculptural leather knots, crystal-embellished heels, snake-print textures, and “shoe-in-shoe” designs.

Materials are “unapologetically glamorous” from velvety suedes, soft mattes, crisp leathers, and metallic finishes in a bold palette of blacks, rich chocolates, bright whites, reds, silvers, and the aforementioned snake prints.

Creative directors Thora Vladimir’s and Jeanette Madsen said shoes “always felt like the natural next step” for the brand.
