"CELINE" 2010's Triomphe leather lace up ankle boots

"CELINE"
2018's lace-up ankle combat boots with triomphe detail

At CELINE, which has built a style centered on Parisian sophistication—minimal yet unmistakably present—we are pleased to present an exceptional piece featuring an iconic design.

From the CELINE logo with no accent markings to the use of the triomphe motif, this piece naturally aligns with the brand’s direction from 2018 onward, when Hedi Slimane became Creative Director, embodying a distinctly current mood.

Crafted with lustrous black leather for the upper, the lace-up construction and the form that rises cleanly from the round toe to the ankle deliver a powerful feel typical of combat boots, while refining it into a sharp, composed impression unmistakably CELINE.

On the outer side of the shaft, the triomphe motif is subtly embossed, and on the back of the heel, a thin CELINE embossed mark can be seen. In addition, the black woven-tape pull tab is finished with a CELINE logo and triomphe motif embroidered in gold thread. As a result, the overall look is tightened in black, yet a restrained luxury is revealed from behind.

Inside, you can see the BE 0291 imprint in gold foil, and the outsole and heel are made with rubber parts bearing the Vibram marking. While this suggests practical considerations for everyday wear based on a leather outsole, it may also be related to after-purchase re-cobbling or replacement parts—so please view it not as evidence for dating, but as a factor that enhances current wearability.

Regarding the era, details such as the CELINE logo with no accent markings on the pull tab, the triomphe motif used prominently on the front, and the embossing on the outer side of the shaft are consistent with the brand expression of the Hedi Slimane era from 2018 onward. This is, therefore, a pair that reflects contemporary CELINE aesthetics.

At the toe area and around the welt, there are scuffs and light color fading from wear, and the lace tips show slight fraying. Nevertheless, the sheen of the well-worn black leather and the aging around the sole lend a depth reminiscent of MOOD’s approach to vintage, adding natural warmth to a refined brand piece.

For styling, these boots work beautifully with slim slacks for a mode-inspired look, and they also bring quiet strength and an elegant weight to everyday outfits when paired with faded denim or a wool coat. Not a boot that overstates itself, they are especially recommended for those who want to harmonize the overall look with understated use of logos and motifs at the feet.

This is a rare piece that naturally integrates CELINE’s iconic codes into a daily lace-up combat boot—so please take this opportunity.
