Aggressive Angular Sneaker Outsoles

The 'Beton' Custom Shoe Sole Adds Visual Depth and Style

— April 25, 2019 — Fashion
The 'Beton' custom shoe soles have been created by Ilyas Darakchiev as an aftermarket outsole for the Adidas TR7 sneakers that provide an angular styling for the otherwise simply footwear. The proof-of-concept has been crafted by the designer using modeling clay and shows strong promise as being a way to give the footwear a completely different persona, if desired. This opens up new potential for sneaker modifiers who are looking for a way to further enhance their footwear using aftermarket solutions .

The 'Beton' custom shoe soles also identify how footwear could perhaps be changed according to the seasons or weather conditions to limit the number of shoes that a consumer needs to own. This correlates with the recent advent of all-weather sneakers as consumers seek to wear casual styles year-round.
Trend Themes
1. Angular Sneaker Outsoles - The 'Beton' custom shoe sole showcases the potential for angular styling to add visual depth and style to traditional footwear.
2. All-weather Sneakers - The rise of all-weather sneakers presents an opportunity for footwear brands to meet consumer demand for versatile, year-round footwear options.
3. Aftermarket Shoe Solutions - The 'Beton' custom shoe soles highlight the opportunity for aftermarket solutions to elevate and customize existing footwear, catering to sneaker modifiers and customization enthusiasts.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear - The footwear industry can explore the potential of angular outsoles, all-weather sneakers, and aftermarket solutions to drive innovation and meet evolving consumer demands.
2. Fashion Accessories - Fashion accessory brands can tap into the trend of aftermarket shoe solutions to offer customization options for sneakers, opening up new revenue streams and enhancing consumer engagement.
3. Sports and Fitness - In the sports and fitness industry, the adoption of all-weather sneakers and the exploration of angular outsole designs can provide athletes with performance-enhancing and visually appealing footwear options.
