Futuristic High-Top Kicks

Maison Martin Margiela Sneakers Turn Moon Boots into Urban Streetwear

— November 20, 2010 — Fashion
Futuristic-looking shoes always resemble something like moon boots in its bulkiness, rounded elements and minimalistic colors. The new Maison Martin Margiela Sneakers are of the same sort, but looks cool enough to rock out on the streets.

The new shoes for the Maison Martin Margiela S/S 2011 collection presents a pair of gray leather high-tops. Flaps in the front hide the laces within. There is also a velcro fastener that are strapped around the ankle. The Maison Martin Margiela Sneakers are a rare find that makes clunky shoes look cool.
Trend Themes
1. Futuristic Footwear - The rise of futuristic-looking shoes that blend space-age design and urban usability could present an opportunity for companies to innovate in the footwear industry.
2. High-tech Sneaker Design - The use of technology (like velcro) in sneaker design could present a disruptive opportunity for companies to rethink the ways in which this footwear can be optimized for wearability and style.
3. Minimalistic Streetwear - The current trend of minimalistic streetwear that favors sleek, understated design may represent an opportunity for companies to explore the intersection of function and fashion in apparel design.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Manufacturing - The upsurge in interest in high-design, street-ready shoes presents an opportunity for footwear manufacturers to experiment with new materials, designs, and functionality.
2. Fashion Apparel - Fashion brands could incorporate the minimalist aesthetic of these shoes into apparel design, creating a seamless blend between streetwear and high fashion.
3. Sportswear Innovation - Sportswear companies could use the technical innovations in these shoes (such as velcro fasteners) to create more user-friendly athletic shoes, which would appeal to wearers who want more streamlined designs for workouts and other activities.
