Iconic Brand-Celebrating Shoes

These Ralph Lauren Sneakers Honor the All-American Fashion Label

— October 27, 2015 — Fashion
These Ralph Lauren sneakers use red, white and blue to celebrate the iconic American fashion label.

The Ralph Lauren sneakers are a collaboration between the Lo Life Crew and footwear brand Etonic. Based on the Stable Air Base silhouette, the Ralph Lauren sneakers pay tribute to the clothing company for which the Lo Life Crew was named. The classic, soft blue and white, coupled with light touches of orange and red, mimic the colors found throughout any typical Ralph Lauren collection.

The Lo Life history is a fascinating example of a subculture taking a luxury brand and transforming it into a streetwear staple, creating a unique, iconic look in the process. It's a concept that is more relevant now than ever, with the current elevation of streetwear to the status of high fashion.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury-streetwear Crossover - Designers can create clothing and accessories that incorporate luxury and streetwear aesthetics to appeal to a broader and younger audience.
2. Fashion Collaboration - Collaborations between fashion brands and designers can bring new life and creativity to both parties, offering exciting opportunities for innovative product design.
3. Nostalgia Marketing - Using nostalgia-inducing elements, such as retro color schemes and vintage designs, can be a powerful tool for brands looking to connect with consumers emotionally and tap into their values and preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can use streetwear influences and collaborations with other designers to create unique and appealing products that attract younger consumers and elevate the brand's image.
2. Retail - Retailers can tap into the nostalgia trend by offering vintage-inspired product lines and design elements that resonate with consumers looking for authentic and meaningful experiences.
3. Marketing - Marketing agencies can help brands build strong emotional connections with consumers by leveraging nostalgia and other cultural elements, creating engaging and memorable campaigns that drive brand loyalty and sales.
