Christian Louboutin participated in a conversation with Jaden Smith on July 2, 2026, ahead of the Christian Louboutin Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation. Louboutin discussed the origins of the men’s line, noting that it began with a pair of shoes he made for himself, combined with requests from musician Mika for stage shoes. He described the red sole as representing passion and life, and said it carries a "badass attitude." Louboutin stated that he chose Jaden Smith as creative director for the men’s side because he wanted someone fully connected to the brand’s processes and mentality, and a "real singular character." He also said that becoming a father is "the best thing" and something he would never regret.

“I don't understand cultural appropriation issues. I like the idea that you are looking at different cultures and then you're embracing it and you actually digesting it and doing something out of it. It's not appropriation, it's homage, it's a tribute. Exactly, I call it cultural fascination, not cultural appropriation.”
