Meat-Inspired Athletic Shoes

This New Nike SB Design is Curiously Carnivorous

— June 1, 2016 — Fashion
Following the release of a shoe modeled quite literally on the theme of cheesy pizza and another printed in a Starbucks theme, this new Nike SB design uses raw meat as its inspiration.

The high top athletic shoe is covered primarily in red, making the shoe look like a mound of bloody beef meat, or red marble -- depending on your interpretation. The unisex skateboarding shoe is available in other colorways as well, with black, red and white as one option and a patriotic red, white and blue as another.

However, the red and white design works well for those who are drawn to more eccentric themes, likely making the Nike SB a popular purchase among youth. The red and white pattern is complemented by matching red laces, a white Nike logo on the side and white accents on its sole.

1. Meat-inspired Footwear - Creating athletic shoes that take inspiration from unconventional sources, such as raw meat, opens up possibilities for unique and attention-grabbing footwear designs.
2. Eccentric Themes in Fashion - Embracing eccentric and bold themes, like meat-inspired designs, can appeal to younger consumers seeking unique and statement-making fashion items.
3. Unisex Skateboarding Shoes - Designing unisex skateboarding shoes that feature unconventional patterns, such as the meat-inspired design, offers a way to attract a diverse range of consumers in the skateboarding community.
Industry Implications
1. Sportswear - Sportswear brands can explore unconventional design inspirations, like meat, to create disruptive and attention-grabbing products that appeal to a specific niche or target audience.
2. Fashion - The fashion industry can embrace eccentric and bold themes in their designs to cater to consumers who seek unique and standout fashion pieces, such as meat-inspired footwear.
3. Skateboarding Equipment - Skateboarding equipment manufacturers can introduce unique and unconventional designs, like the meat-inspired Nike SB shoe, to create a buzz in the skateboarding community and attract the attention of skateboarders looking for distinctive gear.
