The fancy footwear uses intricately beaded tribal prints and liberally strewn [metal studs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rivet-collection) to create shoes that will surely turn heads. The Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes are made out of either leather or suede. There are four styles of [sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs) all ankle height of higher with one flat pair and one above-the-ankle lace-up bootie. The booties were shown on the Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 runway sans studs and in black and khaki. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Edgy Fashion Footwear:** The use of intricate beaded tribal prints and metal studs in Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in edgy footwear design. - **Tribal Print Fashion:** The tribal print trend in Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes opens doors for disruptive innovation in tribal print fashion, especially in the luxury market. - **High-end Sandals:** The ankle-high and high-end nature of Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 sandals creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in high-end sandal design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Fashion:** The use of intricate beadwork and metal studs in Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the luxury fashion industry. - **Footwear:** The edgy design and intricate detailing of Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry. - **Fashion Accessories:** The use of tribal prints and metal studs in Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 shoes can inspire disruptive innovation in the fashion accessories industry, specifically in creating edgier and more unique accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Chic Slim-Fit City Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-city-sneaker.md) - [Luxurious Stealthy Fashion Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-molded-mule.md) - [Festival-Ready Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo.md) - [Performance-Inspired Designer Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-x-puma.md) - [Summer-Ready Comfortable Sandal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs.md) - [Spring-Ready Intricately Laced Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md)
