UGG’s latest divisive shoe launch comes from its collaboration with Tokyo fashion brand AMBUSH, and features a pair of bold sheepskin ballet flats that compare to designer styles
After UGG’s recent shoe launch (the Bea Mary Jane Boots) divided shoppers’ opinions, the brand is back with its newest divisive launch and collaboration with Tokyo-based fashion brand AMBUSH.
For this collaboration, the two brands have launched a fashion-forward footwear edit that includes sheepskin ballet flats and fur loafers that rival designer brands.
The four-piece collection has combined classic silhouettes we know and love with an unexpected design to create two very different bold and statement shoes.
The UGG AMBUSH Mary Janes are available for £250 in both white and pink colourways. They feature leather lining, sole and binding, furry sheepskin upper and are finished off with an AMBUSH metal heart snap.

Alongside these, the All Gender UGG Ambush Loafers are available for £250 in black and burgundy. This pair has a Gucci-esque feel with its fur upper detailing and sheepskin sock lining.
After UGG’s platorm Mary-Jane’s received mixed views, the new collection has really impressed shoppers. UGG’s Instagram comment section was flooded with praise after posting the two shoes. Filled with comments like, “A combination of cool and cute”, “These are stupid cute omg”, and “Not a want but a need!!”, it’s clear to see the positive reception to this daring launch.
To style these shoes, we recommend keeping your look pretty simple so that the shoes have their moment. As we head into spring, you can’t go wrong with a pair of straight-leg denim jeans and a lightweight jacket.
An equally bold and stylish pair of sheepskin ballet flats comes from COS. The brand’s Shearling Ballet Flats retail for £300 and are made from 100% shearling and leather.
ME + EM also has a slightly less crazy alternative with Shearling Ballerina Flat, currently 50% off at £112.50.
