Two-Toned Hiking Boots

The Lanvin Tall Hiking Boot is a Rugged Look for the French Brand

— December 3, 2011 — Fashion
The French high fashion brand Lanvin is taking its own approach to practical footwear with the Lanvin Tall Hiking boot. The boot has all the traditional characteristics of a hiking boot with the thick sole, rounded toe and five prong laces, but Lanvin has done much to distinguish this item stylistically as well with a “double crossover plastic wrap covering the lacing system as well as a lizard trim contrast on the rubber lug sole,” as described on Slamxhype.

The Lanvin Tall Hiking boot is part of the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. This is a great addition to men’s footwear especially in a market so saturated by similar looking pieces. Like the Maison Martin Margiela Two-Toned Leather boot, this boot has gone a different route to the class boot and added its own two tones with the added strap for more flavor. This boot is practical and a rugged approach to their classic boot.
Trend Themes
1. Rugged Fashion Footwear - Combining traditional footwear with unique highlight materials and designs to add a new flair and function to men's footwear
2. Two-toned Boot Designs - Adding multiple color or material elements to boots to create a unique and interesting look
3. Hiking-inspired Fashion - Creating fashionable shoes and accessories inspired by traditional hiking equipment and materials
Industry Implications
1. Fashion & Apparel - Opportunities to create unique and durable designs that combine style and practicality for outdoor or fashion-focused consumers
2. Footwear - Innovation opportunities to combine traditional footwear aspects with a modern or unique twist, such as color combinations or material choices
3. Outdoor and Adventure Gear - Opportunities to create fashion-forward accessories inspired by traditional hiking and outdoor equipment, making them trendier for everyday use.
