Christian Louboutin and new Creative Director, Jaden Smith has unveiled the Fall/Winter 2026 Men’s collection. The collection now signals a new direction for Men, blending performance-driven textures with expressive ideas and a spontaneity which highlights the exciting new era being built.
The Trapman line, which started with the Avant-Première collection, is back with Molten Trapman, a rubber-soled boot covered in shiny molten paint. The creation process involves pouring liquid over a matte non-leather base and curing it for texture contrast. The original Trapman TCT 2 is available again in various styles and new colors, including lace-up, loafer, and Chelsea boot options, blending the brand’s heritage with 1990s hip-hop vibes. The TCT I is a low-top style made from durable recycled nylon and features adjustable drawstrings for a secure fit.
Sartorial styles are key to the Maison’s identity. This is shown in the return of The Corteo, an evening style first introduced in Fall/Winter 2019. The 2026 edition has a clean, elegant look and includes a sneaker-inspired sole for better comfort while keeping its classy appeal. Alongside it, Gorp offers a modern twist on the Oxford lace-up and classic Chelsea boot, mixing sleek patent leather with rubber details.
Building on this idea, the Moustachou line focuses on urban elegance with comfortable designs and relaxed fits, featuring easy-to-wear derby shoes and double-monk styles. The line is complemented by the Marc Poppin Mary Jane, which gives a fresh spin on traditional styles. The Plato Loafer updates the classic loafer, focusing on comfort and stylish details, available in classic shades and new pastel colours. Dots features artistic laser-cut openings to show off the foot, playing with lightness and transparency. The Asclepius Sling offers a new take on the style with a sling-back design and metallic accents in black and Louboutin Red. The Kemet Sandal takes the penny loafer shape and turns it into a sandal with eye-catching interlaced details. The Paddle slip-on shoe has a unique shape and heel, inspired by the women’s collection.
Innovation drives the Maison’s creative vision, blending craftsmanship with bold design. Calf Moises is a lively digital print on leather, inspired by a photo from La Fête de la Musique in Paris taken by Jaden Smith’s friend, Moises Arias. The image comes to life on The Ennio, which keeps a classic cowboy look but adds a sculptural overlay for a modern twist. Santiagus and Santiago Gus reinterpret American styles, mixing Western tradition with a modern flare.
Continuing to explore protective and sculptural styles in boots, Gravitamoon takes a functional approach, worn as a protective over-shoe. The Neo Bloon mid-calf boot was launched in January, joined by a Slouch sagging boot that merges oversized streetwear with luxury in a relaxed design, available in neutral and bright colours. The TCT Hiker range revisits the Gorpcore trend in a city setting, blending materials for functional fashion, while the Snow Hiker is designed to face tough weather in style.
The BSKTBL 1 Retro sneaker pays tribute to the Maison’s connection with sneaker culture, balancing trendy design with comfort. Molten Louis reimagines a classic with a new dripping effect, and The Butterfly gives a sleek take on a traditional boxing shoe. The Tactical Skate low-top showcases clean lines and a wide colour range, while the SK VI, first from the Avant-Première capsule, returns with retro flair, focusing on comfort with a cushioned footbed and breathable mesh lining.
Bags are a key part of Jaden’s vision for a complete look and are created to complement the Men’s shoes collection. The Tactical line includes spacious tote bags in two sizes and a duffel bag. The Multi-Pocket is an updated version of the TFT-VI harness bag from the Avant-Première capsule, featuring a backpack, vest bag, bumbag, tote, and duffel bag, each designed with multiple pockets for everyday items like chargers, earphones, and keys. The Briefcase styles include an updated classic briefcase and a desirable mini version for a new generation.
The season introduces the Canopy line, featuring practical small leather goods and accessories like a card holder, money clip, bifold and zipped wallets, a passport holder, keyring, and the Canopy Belt. The Belt and CL Reversible Belt prominently use galvanized metal, which is also part of the CL Necklace, CL Keyring, CL Bracelet, CL Opener, and CL Lighter Case Keyring, serving as modern essentials. The Canopy Cap, with bold proportions and the Louboutin signature on the back, complements the accessories, while a new style of men’s eyewear showcases Jaden Smith’s unique take on the classic Maison Christian Louboutin designs.
The collection will be in stores on 3rd June 2026.
