UGG Lowmel: the UGG sneaker that left winter behind

The UGG Lowmel collection at MTHOR Shop brings together authentic UGG Lowmel sneakers for women, men and kids, from the Sand colourway to Black and Chestnut, as well as the lighter Lowmel Lo version. Buying a women's UGG Lowmel or a men's UGG Lowmel sneaker means choosing the first sneaker from the Californian brand to make its mark in streetwear, far from its sheepskin boots. At MTHOR Shop, a French authenticated resale store, every pair of UGG Lowmel is checked by our experts before shipping, with worldwide home delivery against signature in 2 to 8 days, customs included. The Lowmel ticks every box of the moment: a chunky silhouette inspired by the 2000s, thick suede, round laces worn loose, and an EVA sole made from sugarcane. It pairs with wide-leg jeans, joggers or a long skirt, and it is often bought in two colourways at once: a neutral (Sand, Chestnut) and a black.

The story of UGG: from Santa Monica to the Lowmel sneaker

UGG is a Californian brand founded in 1978 in Santa Monica by Brian Smith, an Australian surfer, and his partner Doug Jensen. The two men first wanted to distribute sheepskin boots made in Australia; disappointed by the manufacturer, Smith registered the UGG trademark and launched his own production, selling only 28 pairs in the first season. The brand remained a niche favourite, worn by surfers pulling on their boots as they came out of the water, until it was acquired in 1995 by Deckers Brands for 14.6 million dollars. Deckers turned UGG into a global phenomenon: the boots kitted out the US Olympic team at the Lillehammer Games in 1994, then exploded in 2003 after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's show. In 2006, UGG opened its first store in SoHo, New York, and its first international store in Japan; in 2012, the brand passed one billion dollars in annual sales. In 2016, "UGG Australia" became simply "UGG", embracing a Californian rather than Australian identity.

The 2020s marked a new turning point. Driven by the Tasman, the Ultra Mini and the Tazz, UGG became a fully fledged fashion brand, adopted by Gen Z and amplified on TikTok. It was in this context that the Lowmel appeared in 2023: a real sneaker, no longer a slipper or a boot, bringing the house's comfort codes into a retro trainer shape. Its first launch sold out almost immediately; in 2024, the model became the brand's breakout of the year, with triple-digit sales growth on British resale platforms and a place as the announced "it-sneaker" for spring-summer 2025 with the Lo Lowmel variant. For UGG, the Lowmel plays the role the Samba played for adidas: the model that brings the brand into the wardrobe of sneaker lovers.

The Lowmel: suede, ballistic mesh and a sugarcane sole

The UGG Lowmel is a low-top sneaker with a deliberately thick silhouette, built around three technical choices that explain its comfort. The upper combines genuine suede with a recycled ballistic canvas mesh, with a padded collar, an oversized tongue and a webbing heel strap stamped with the UGG logo patch. The sole is moulded from EVA made of rain-fed sugarcane, and the very thick round laces are made of recycled polyester: a second pair of laces comes in the box to switch up the look. The original version is lined for cooler days, while the Lowmel Lo, released for spring-summer 2025, adopts a lower profile and a breathable mesh lining for summer.

• Instant comfort: the sugarcane EVA midsole and the moulded footbed cushion every step from the very first wear, with no break-in period.
• Durable, sturdy materials: the thick suede and recycled ballistic mesh stand up to daily use far better than a thin canvas, and the heel strap makes them easy to slip on.
• Versatile style: the double set of laces and the padded tongue let you wear them laced tight or open and loose, in the skate spirit of the 2000s.

Sizing-wise, the Lowmel generally runs true to size in UGG sizing. The "(W)" references in the collection designate women's sizes, "(GS)" the kids/teen sizes (Grade School), which give smaller adult sizes access to certain exclusive colourways.

The iconic UGG Lowmel models in the collection

The most sought-after UGG Lowmel at MTHOR are the neutral colourways and the black, followed by seasonal editions and Lo versions. Here are the main references in the collection:

• UGG Lowmel Sand (W): the sandy beige colourway, the absolute best-seller and the entry point for most buyers, also available in GS sizing.
• UGG Lowmel Black: the all-black version, the most requested for men and women alike, available in adult and GS sizes.
• UGG Lowmel Chestnut: UGG's historic chestnut brown, the one from the Classic Boot, transposed onto the sneaker.
• UGG Lowmel Dune (GS): a lighter, warmer beige than the Sand, reserved for Grade School sizes.
• UGG Lowmel Antilope (W) and Hickory (W): two mid-tone browns, between the Sand and the Chestnut, for a more autumnal look.

• UGG Lowmel Love '25 Jasmine Tropical Pink: the Valentine's Day 2025 edition in pink, the most colourful in the range.

FAQ — UGG Lowmel at MTHOR

Are the UGG Lowmel sold at MTHOR authentic?

Yes. At MTHOR, every pair of UGG Lowmel is checked by our experts before shipping: inside label and article code, quality of the suede and mesh, sole markings, heel patch logo, consistency of the box and presence of the second pair of laces. Pairs go under the UV lamp and microscope when necessary, then ship with a seal that certifies the check.

Which size should I choose for a women's or men's UGG Lowmel?

The UGG Lowmel fits true to size: take your usual sneaker size. References marked "(W)" follow the UGG women's chart and those marked "(GS)" the kids/teen chart, worth considering for adult sizes up to around EU 40. If you are hesitating between two sizes, the lined original Lowmel is best taken in the larger size, the mesh Lowmel Lo in your usual size.

What comes in the box of a UGG Lowmel bought at MTHOR?

You receive the pair in its original UGG box with its label, the tissue paper, the second pair of laces supplied by the brand, and the MTHOR seal applied after the check. We sell new pairs; if a pair is listed as worn or pre-owned, its condition is specified on the product page.
