Do you remember the iconic Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl performance in 2025? Who could forget it when 133.5 million people watched it, making it the most-watched halftime performance in history? Many people can speculate on why it was so popular, but one thing is for sure: this most-watched show relaunched a fashion style that had gone under the radar for decades. Suddenly, skinny jeans weren’t all the rage anymore as Kendrick Lamar brought back the ultimate dad jean—flare legs, more commonly known as boot-cuts to old-schoolers.
Back to the Flare (Bootcut) Jeans
While everything about the night was probably well planned by Kendrick Lamar and his stage crew, the popularity of flare jeans probably wasn’t part of the plan. However, here we are, a year later, and those pants are still the talk of the town.
In honor of his upcoming birthday, June 17, let’s focus on a similar option to those pants for purchase. For less than $150, substantially less than the $1300 pair he wore at the Super Bowl, you can step out fresh to death in a pair of flare jeans. The Walker Kick Flare jeans by Hudson Jeans start off slim around the thighs and flare slightly at the ankles for those who are still on the skinny-jean kick but want to ease back into the boot-cut era.
