His [Crystal Fishbone Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-cave-sneaker) boasts the skinny bones of something that is leftover after you've eaten your fish dinner. The silver metal [crystal encrusted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalstudded-clogs) accessory hinges at the fish's tail, neck and mid-body are presumably meant to allow the feet to flex while walking. This 4 inch stiletto is made in Italy and is available from eLuxury for a sale price $510 down from $850. Interestingly, it is currently not in stock. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Strappy Sandals:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and unconventional designs for strappy sandals. - **Crystal Embellishments:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing new techniques for crystal encrusted accessories. - **Flexible Footwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing and manufacturing footwear that allows for better foot flexion while walking. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry to create innovative and luxurious footwear designs. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the luxury goods industry by incorporating unique and high-end materials into footwear. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the footwear manufacturing industry to improve comfort and functionality of shoes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxurious Crystal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Limited-Edition Crystal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski.md) - [Minimalist Travel Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gewls-chiara-sandal.md) - [Patterned Joint Stealthy Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern.md) - [Split-Toe Barefoot Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome-tabi-gen-01-sandal.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md)
