This list boasts a few examples of musical shoe silhouettes, signifying a correlation between the entertainment industry and that of contemporary footwear. While some examples here are an expression of fandoms, others boast hefty collaborations with celebrities or design sensibilities that simply relate to a specific genre of music. Despite the origin of inspiration, the musical shoe models surely add a flair to a brand's footwear offerings.
Converse, for example, entered a partnership with Tyler, the Creator, which resulted in incredibly vibrant iterations of the label's iconic One Star silhouette. PUMA, on the other hand, takes a broader stroke on the musical shoe with a design supported by Roland — a Japanese company that is known globally for manufacturing high-quality electronic music instruments. The colorways of the two models are strongly inspired by Roland's aesthetics.
