Jeans-Inspired High-Tops

The Diesel Expoiak Denim Sneakers Look Just Like Your Favorite Pair of Pa

— June 15, 2011 — Fashion
The Diesel Expoiak denim sneakers are unlike any jeans-inspired pants we've featured thus far. These high-top kicks look just like a pair of jeans, right down to their copper grommets, patch pocket, contrast stitching, a rear belt loop, waistband and faded whiskers.

Although the Diesel Expoiak denim sneakers are probably best worn with shorts or board shorts, I think they'd look great with a pair of trousers. This pairing would essentially reverse the current theme in menswear of men pairing jeans with dress shoes.

The Diesel Expoiak denim sneakers are just the accessory to set off a whimsical summer outfit. Perhaps they'll even supplant classic sneakers as the de facto ironic footwear choice for men wearing suit pants and other formal trousers.
Trend Themes
1. Denim-inspired Footwear - The trend of creating sneakers and shoes that mimic the look of denim jeans opens up opportunities to innovate in the fashion industry by combining casual and formal styles.
2. Reverse Styling Trend - The movement of men pairing sneakers or casual footwear with formal pants presents an opportunity for designers to create footwear that complements dressier bottoms.
3. Whimsical Summer Fashion - The rise of playful and unconventional fashion choices in summer outfits gives room for brands to create unique and eye-catching accessories like the Diesel Expoiak denim sneakers.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Apparel - Brands in the fashion industry can explore the creation of denim-inspired footwear to cater to customers looking for a blend of casual and formal styles.
2. Footwear - Shoe manufacturers can capitalize on the reverse styling trend by producing sneakers or casual shoes that are designed to be paired with dressier bottoms.
3. Accessories - The whimsical summer fashion trend opens up opportunities for accessory brands to design and market unique and attention-grabbing products like the Diesel Expoiak denim sneakers.
