Hybrid footwear silhouettes often have an intriguing design, as well as a function-forward construction. While sometimes the shoes are conceived to promote a higher value for the streetwear industry — the Heron Preston and Cactus Plant Flea Market collab that mixes the models of the Air Max 95 and the Air Max 720 is a great example, others opt in for combining styles of shoes. Through this, companies are able to bring together radically different designs and the results are always quite attention-captivating.
From Maison Margiela's luxe hybrid footwear model that mixes the aesthetics of sneakers, sandals, and socks to the more casual option in the form of Webz which is an offering that brings together sandals, trainers and flip-flops, the end result is always beneficial in its multi-functionality.
