The duo works in partnership with sneaker retail label [Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000) to drop its latest attention-grabbing footwear model -- the new [Boston Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-x-jesse-leyva-boston-quilted-leve) which are finished in a vibrant lime green hue. The limited-edition piece is constructed in a custom grooved leather material as its uppers in the aforementioned bright green. Beneath is a strong white outsole, offering a bit of contrast among the loud green upper. The unique leather materials are implemented to resist both water damage and scratches, making it suitable as a transitional piece into the Fall season. The newest Birkenstock Boston sandals will be available for purchase online at Concepts for the price of $250 USD starting August 24th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Custom Grooved Leather:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore the use of custom grooved leather materials in other footwear designs to offer enhanced functionality and durability. - **Vibrant Lime Green:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce vibrant lime green as a popular color option in other fashion accessories, not just footwear, to cater to consumers seeking bold and eye-catching designs. - **Transitional Fall Pieces:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop versatile footwear or clothing items that seamlessly transition from summer to fall, addressing the changing needs and preferences of consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore collaborations between footwear brands to create unique and attention-grabbing designs that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Experiment with vibrant lime green as a trending color option in various fashion accessories such as bags, belts, and jewelry to cater to consumers looking for statement pieces. - **Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Capitalize on limited-edition releases and collaborations to create buzz and generate interest among consumers, driving online and in-store sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textured Buckle Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-grid-pack.md) - [Elevated Chunky Base Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-boston-clog.md) - [Collaborative Sandal Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concepts.md) - [Quilted Collaboration Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-x-jesse-leyva-boston-quilted-leve.md) - [Collaborative Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-and-birkenstock.md) - [Neutral Urban Summer Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinjuku-sandal.md) - [Adventurous Outdoor Sandal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-sandal-collection.md) - [Patterned Joint Stealthy Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern.md) - [Handstitched Denim Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-boro.md)
