# Flashy Gold Sneakers The Buscemi Gold Sneaker Will Cause a Few Head-Turns By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-sneaker References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2014/09/23/buscemi-100mm-gold-sneaker/) & [jonbuscemi](http://jonbuscemi.com/) Luxurious sneaker brand Buscemi has taken it to the next level with this opulent gold sneaker. The sneaker brand is no stranger to opulence, having previously designed exorbitant crocodile-embossed, Hermes-inspired kicks. However, this sneaker must be Buscemi's most ostentatious to date, featuring gold padlocks, a luggage tag and even a carry handle anchored to the heel. The fact that the 100mm mid-top shoe is drenched in gold, from the leather upper to the laces, doesn't hurt. The finished product is absolutely something I can imagine Kanye West wearing. If you want to communicate your affluence to the rest of the world, I can't imagine a better way to do so than to don the 100mm gold sneaker by Buscemi. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Footwear:** The trend of creating exclusive, over-the-top footwear that showcases affluence and individuality. - **Gilded Accessories:** The trend of adding gold accents and embellishments to luxury accessories to fully express opulence. - **Designer Streetwear:** The trend of high-end fashion designers creating streetwear lines featuring bold, distinctive accessories and statement pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has an opportunity to innovate by incorporating gilded accents and luxurious materials into footwear and accessories that cater to consumers looking for exclusive, standout pieces. - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on the desire for conspicuous consumption by producing high-end items such as the Buscemi gold sneaker that exude wealth and status. - **Streetwear:** The streetwear industry has an opportunity to collaborate with high-end designers to create unique, statement-making sneakers and accessories that cater to a younger, fashion-forward consumer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flashy Gold Utilitarian Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-4.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Metallic-Tinged Retro Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-gold-1.md) - [Crystallized Streetwear Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-1.md) - [Chunky Plush Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldencush.md) - [Futuristic Sandal Hybrid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versace-mercury.md) - [Customizable Co-Created Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-maker.md) - [Money-Inspired Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000.md) - [Luxury Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tie-20.md)
