# Militaristic Neutral Earthy Sandals visvim's Christo Sandal Takes on an Army Inspiration By Amy Duong | Published 2019-05-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christo References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/5/visvim-christo-sandal-military-nylon-release-exclusive) & [shop.visvim](https://shop.visvim.tv/) Streetwear imprint visvim introduces a new iteration of its signature Christo sandals for the summer season, delivering the silhouette in two new neutral colorways. The colorways are reminiscent of earthy tones that adorn the classic slides in muted options. The slides are constructed from premium military nylon this time around, which deliver both lightweight and sturdy elements. The army-level nylon material is a great option for footwear in terms of its textiles, it also closely aligns to visvim's heritage perspective. The outsoles are a patterned Vibram, which is signature to the label's branding. The colorways highlight a black or an olive green option finished with straps at the forefoot. The nubuck footbeds ensure that it is comfortable through some seasonal changes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 53% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Earth-tone Sandals:** Opportunity for developing sandals in neutral colorways inspired by earthy tones. - **Military-inspired Footwear:** Potential for creating footwear using premium military nylon for lightweight and sturdy elements. - **Patterned Outsoles:** Chance to incorporate patterned Vibram outsoles as a signature branding element. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore producing earth-tone sandals and military-inspired footwear using premium materials. - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can showcase and promote the latest trend of military-inspired sandals and promote them as a stylish option. - **Outdoor Gear:** Outdoor gear brands can incorporate patterned Vibram outsoles into their products to enhance durability and traction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Camo-Patterned Summer Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtree-edition.md) - [Neutral Urban Summer Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinjuku-sandal.md) - [Militaristic Tonal Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bw-army-lux.md) - [Lifestyle Foam-Based Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-sandal.md) - [Dynamic Neutral-Toned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanuk-1.md) - [Neutral Tonal Technical Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sand-colorway.md) - [Military Grade-Inspired Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mogami-terra.md) - [Militaristic Green Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-olivine.md) - [Advanced Athlete Recovery Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recovery-slides.md)
