The most recent trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, focused more on the story, action, and characters and less on the outfits worn by Starfleet officers decades before Kirk and his crew boarded the Enterprise. But an iconic Canadian fashion designer helped contribute to the show’s new uniforms, and soon everyone will have a chance to follow Pike’s fashionable lead.

The trailers might be void of gratuitous boot shots, but check out the promotional images for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds featuring the cast and you’ll notice some fancy new footwear. The latest Starfleet-issue boots were designed by John Fluevog, whose known for his art deco-inspired footwear—but for Strange New Worlds he opted for a more futuristic design to create the Starfleet Boot which somehow manages to bridge both a retro and modern aesthetic. And starting later this week, they won’t just be exclusive to Starfleet.

There are few symbols more recognizable in the world of science fiction than Star Trek’s Starfleet Delta. It’s usually worn by Starfleet officers on their uniforms as a communications badge or, in the 23rd century days of Strange New Worlds and the original Star Trek, a simple emblem. But Fluevog has integrated it into the Starfleet Boots on the outer ankle with a gunmetal finish to make these boots unmistakingly Star Trek-inspired.

The Starfleet Boots are actually based on a popular Fluevog design called the Manifold Witness whose branding is emblazoned on the underside of each boot. “Expose the truth” is another part of Fluevog’s branding, although it also brings some welcome X-Files vibes to this footwear. Or maybe just a really overzealous Starfleet science officer investigating their 50th mysterious anomaly of the week.

How Much?

Star Trek takes place in a future version of Earth where currency and capitalism no longer exists—but that’s not our reality just yet. As a result, the Fluevog Starfleet Boots will retail for $399, potentially putting them out of reach of all but the most devoted fans and Star Trek cosplayers.
