# Shark Movie-Inspired Shoes Givenchy's New Shoes Draw Inspiration from the 1975 JAWS Movie By Amy Duong | Published 2018-03-12 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/givenchy-jaw References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/givenchy-jaw-release-date-price/) & [givenchy](https://www.givenchy.com/america/en/homepage) The [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-handbag) JAW is the luxury label's latest shoe project and it draws a direct inspiration from the iconic 1975 [JAWS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-lego) movie. The name of the shoes indicate a clear reference to its influence, recalling the film that surrounded the concept of a terrorizing shark. The Givenchy JAW's outsole details resemble the look of a jaw with teeth, which is what initiated designer Claire Waight Keller to recall the movie. The all-black shoe's upper boasts a high-top design that is wrapped around the ankles and crafted from a blend of leather and fabric materials. Across the front, there are zipper closures with a branded zipper tab in white accents. The same branded detail is also found on the heel tab. The Givenchy JAW silhouette rests on a chunky and split midsole foundation. The shoes are expected to be released in July this year, priced at just over $1,000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Shark-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by creating clothing and accessories that draw inspiration from sharks. - **Movie-inspired Footwear:** Designing shoes that reference iconic movies like JAWS opens up possibilities for creating unique and nostalgic products. - **Luxury Streetwear:** The fusion of high-end luxury and streetwear aesthetics, as seen in Givenchy's JAW shoes, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage shark-inspired designs to create captivating and trend-setting clothing collections. - **Film and Entertainment:** The film and entertainment industry can collaborate with fashion brands to create movie-inspired products, further engaging fans and generating additional revenue streams. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can explore the realm of streetwear, incorporating urban aesthetics into their product offerings to appeal to a wider range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs.md) - [Aquatic Thriller Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-prospex-jaws-special-edition.md) - [Filmic Shark Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-fragrance.md) - [Shark Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-lego.md) - [Horror-Creature-Inspired Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-monsters-collection.md) - [Jellyfish-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharrell-williams-and-adidas-originals.md) - [80s-Inspired Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes.md) - [Dynamic Pointed Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1.md) - [Greyscale Leather Speckled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fear-colorway-1.md)
