For 38 years, the annual FN Achievement Awards — often called the “Shoe Oscars” — have celebrated the style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans. This year’s event saw many of the biggest and brightest brands and celebrities walking down the red carpet. Here are some of the best shoe moments from the event.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were a highlight of the evening as the Fenty entrepreneur walked down the red carpet in a pair of strappy sandals. Rocky chose a pair of glossy black leather uppers that featured striking square-toed detailing.
Law Roach
Law Roach rightfully appeared in a pair of white sneakers from On, whom he presented the ‘Brand of the Year’ award to. The lace-up styles appeared to be the same shoes worn by Sean Damian Tucker, Head of Marketing for North America, and were likely the company’s Roger sneaker.
