# Dual-Hued Dress Shoes The Bauta Italia Edition is Crip- and Blood-Friendly By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauta-italia-edition-one References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Bauta-Italia-edition-one/471759) & [bautaitalia](http://www.bautaitalia.com/) The Bauta Italia Edition One is one confused [dress shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jabbar-dress-lo). This sexy design doesn't know if it wants you to wear red or blue. Maybe you should just wear both. I am a sucker for nice clothes, which means I am also a sucker for [nice shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-mule-dark-team-red). The Bauta Italia Edition One is right up my alley. A little known fact about me is that I used to be a master shoelacer when I was younger. Let's just say a checkerboard pattern wouldn't lace itself onto your Phat Pharms. The [different colored laces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar) and inner soles of this shoe are a win in my book. I may have to sing the new shoes song soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual-hued Dress Shoes:** Opportunity for shoe companies to innovate by creating dual-hued dress shoes that cater to different style preferences. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Potential for footwear brands to tap into the market demand for dual-hued dress shoes. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate dual-hued dress shoes into their collections. - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to capitalize on the popularity of dual-hued dress shoes by offering a wide selection to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Sneaker-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chukka-sneaker-boot.md) - [Reversible High-Top Unique Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bwd-high.md) - [Incredibly Sophisticated Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-boot-design.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Sustainable Color-Blocked Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colville.md) - [Relaxed Hybrid Design Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chelsea-sneaker-boot.md) - [Unformal Derby-Style Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jalisco.md) - [Luxury Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tie-20.md) - [Adaptable Italian Loafer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astorflex-dockflex-loafers.md)
