Millennials are in shock over the return of a pair of “Tumblr-famous” boots that peaked in popularity in 2011.
Jeffrey Campbell’s Lita boots have made a surprising comeback with their iconic black and brown heels.
The lace-up shoes, which were first released in July 2010, are designed with a five-inch (12.7 cm) heel and a 2.5-inch (6 cm) front platform, a style that became an instant hit at the time.
News of the launch has caused a stir on social media among customers, and opinions have been divided.
Fans looking to rock the style can purchase them on the brand’s website, with a variety of nostalgic prints available including the American flag, leopard, and even a galaxy print on offer.
Hundreds of people shared their excitement that they were never allowed to buy the boots as teenagers.
“Finally I have adult money to buy these!” wrote one on TikTok.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment to be able to heal my inner child that I couldn’t afford,” said another.

Another added: “No, I can’t let this happen again.”
“What?” wrote a third in shock.
