New York City’s first lady Rama Duwaji appeared to wear $630 “artisan” leather boots from a high-end designer to her Democratic socialist husband Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral swearing-in ceremony — a luxury look that flew in the face of the politician’s “everyman” image, eagle-eyed critics said Thursday.
Duwaji, a 28-year-old artist, gave more socialite than socialist on New Year’s Day as she apparently rocked one of the fashion house Miista’s pricey boot designs — one which is said to be crafted from “vegetable tan cow leather” and feature an “ultra-cushioned memory foam insole.”
The fashion firm charges $630 a pair for the so-called “Shelley Boots,” which feature a 6-centimeter (2.3-inch) heel and a lace-up back.

The boots are both ugly and appear to be extremely uncomfortable. IMO
Capitalism creates wealth for society.
Socialism redistributes wealth made by others.
Here is that redistribution of wealth. Enjoy it vicariously, because Mamdani isn’t going to share.
The Commie walked away after the oath and speech leaving his wife to hustle to catch up to him. He’s an arab alright
Whoa those are ugly!

Fashion house Miista’s pricey boots — crafted from “vegetable tan cow leather” feature an “ultra-cushioned memory foam insole”--$630 a pair for “Shelley Boots,” which feature a 6-centimeter (2.3-inch) heel and a lace-up back.
I remember probably People Magazine showed Gwyneth Paltrow in her prime wearing spike heel pumps and a minidress to the praise of many males.
“In answer to women’s questions, yes, my feet hurt.”
I was just thinking the same thing. They’re pretty much the ugliest boots I’ve seen.
More proof that money can’t buy class or style.
(And isn’t she supposed to be some kind of artist?)
Like Yoko was a singer?
The Vanguard of the Revolution has the right to be rewarded with all the loot they want.
Lol.
Didn’t Margaret Hamilton wear those as the witch in the original Wizard of Oz?
Update context quote from remake reimagined film:
Mamdani’s Wife to Zohran: “Imagine what we could do....together.”
"Everyman" socialist Mamdani----wife in $630 designer boots.
Hey, she, like hunter, is an argh-teest. Got to present well.
Looks like a witch’s boot from THE WIZARD of OZ.
LOL
“New York City’s first lady Rama Duwaji appeared to wear $630 “artisan” leather boots from a high-end designer to her Democratic socialist husband Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral swearing-in ceremony”
But no burqa?
"lace-up back"
For all the money she paid she didnt even get the full boot
she got the shortie.
They look like witches boots
If she’s a devout Muslim, why isn’t she wrapped up? You guys know what I mean.
Or if she isn’t devout, how the heck could he marry her, within his faith?
