Frankenstein-Inspired Shoes

Converse's Chuck 70 Sneaker Boasts New Designs in Reconstructed Pack

— April 15, 2019 — Fashion
Slam Jam works in collaboration with Converse to create its latest iteration of the iconic Chuck 70 sneaker silhouette for the season. The new makeover arrives in the Reconstructed pack and it boasts a Frankenstein influence throughout the unique construction element.

The most notable detail of the sneakers are the exposed stitches that look as if two different sneakers have been blended together. The two colorways arrive in black and navy blue or white and beige and the darker colorway boasts all-black throughout the lateral side and blue on the other. The midsoles are also completed in a split color-blocking design translating throughout the outsole as well, which is half blue. The prominent stitching details are found through branded patches at the sides and at the back heels.
Trend Themes
1. Reconstructed Sneaker Designs - Opportunity for brands to create unique and innovative sneaker designs by blending different elements together, inspired by the Frankenstein influence.
2. Exposed Stitching Details - Potential for footwear companies to incorporate exposed stitching as a design feature, adding a distinct and unconventional element to their products.
3. Split Color-blocking Design - Chance for brands to explore split-color designs, allowing for visually striking and unconventional aesthetics in footwear.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Footwear - Opportunity for fashion and footwear brands to incorporate unconventional design elements inspired by the Frankenstein theme, appealing to consumers looking for unique and eye-catching products.
2. Collaborative Partnerships - Potential for brands to collaborate with other companies or artists to create innovative and visually striking sneaker designs, drawing on diverse influences and expertise.
3. Streetwear and Sneaker Culture - Disruptive innovation opportunity for streetwear and sneaker brands to push boundaries in design, attracting enthusiasts seeking exclusive and alternative footwear options.
