Luxe 70s-Inspired High-Tops

These COACH Sneakers are Said to Draw from Old-School Hip Hop Culture

— September 27, 2016 — Fashion
A part of its Fall 2016 range, the latest COACH sneakers add to the American luxury brand's quickly growing footwear offerings.

Emulating a Nike high-top silhouette, COACH's version imbues the masculine model with a surplus of lavish additions. Most prominently, this includes the premium leather that constructs the upper. Complementing it is clean stitching in a light beige tone and decorative leather weaving that appears near the heel of the COACH sneakers.

Topping it off are brown laces that tie in seamlessly to the tone of the rest of the upper. Meanwhile, all this sits atop a thick platform sole that contrasts the colorway in white. With a nod to New York's hip hop past, the COACH sneakers have a retro look that's simultaneously subtle.
Trend Themes
1. Premium Leather Sneakers - There is an opportunity for companies to create premium leather sneakers with luxurious additions.
2. Retro-inspired Footwear - The popularity of 70s-inspired footwear opens up opportunities for brands to create retro-inspired sneakers with a modern twist.
3. Nod to Hip Hop Culture - Brands can explore the intersection of fashion and music by designing sneakers that pay homage to hip hop culture.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Footwear - Fashion companies can capitalize on the growing trend of luxury footwear by offering high-end sneakers with unique design elements.
2. Luxury Brands - Luxury brands can expand their product offerings by venturing into the sneaker market and integrating high-quality materials.
3. Streetwear - Streetwear brands can tap into the 70s-inspired trend and create sneakers that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers.
