Unisex Mountaineering Boots

These Bedwin x Danner Boots are a Rugged Look for Both Genders

— November 5, 2015 — Fashion
These BEDWIN x Danner boots are a rugged, outdoor winter look for either men or women.

The hiker look is decidedly in again this winter, as it has been for the past few. While footwear options like Timberland boots have been co-opted by stylish, streetwear-loving women, these BEDWIN x Danner mountain boots have several design touches that make it clear that they're meant to be worn by both genders. A thick, slightly wedged sole as well as brightly colored laces, a soft, brown suede outer and an elegantly tailored silhouette give these warm, practical boots a feminine feel. The boots are a collaboration between Tokyo designer BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS and Portland-based Danner boots.

In the past, stylish streetwear has largely been designed for men, inspired by male-dominated rap and hip hop culture, although women have embraced it and made it their own. As female musicians see increasing success in these genres, fashion is following suit, creating pieces that are truly meant for women.
Trend Themes
1. Gender-neutral Footwear - The rise of unisex outdoor boots highlights an opportunity to develop more gender-neutral footwear options for both men and women.
2. Collaboration Products - Collaborations between designers in different countries can create unique products that cater to different markets and customer bases.
3. Fashion Diversity - The increasing success of female musicians in male-dominated genres like rap and hip hop is driving a demand for more inclusive and diverse fashion options.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Industry - The footwear industry can expand their product offerings by creating more gender-neutral styles, and partnering with designers in different markets to expand their customer base.
2. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry should take inspiration from the rise of gender-neutral styles, diverse representation in music, and the power of collaborations to drive new product development.
3. Music Industry - The success of female musicians in male-dominated genres presents an opportunity for the music industry to promote more inclusive and diverse representation in music.
