The range prepares for the Fall/Winter 2019 season and features a set of [Chelsea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricker) boots constructed from black leather materials. The two are entitled the 'Black Rub Off Oxford' and the 'Black Rob Off Slip-On.' Both of the footwear models sit atop a [chunky sole unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3) with lugged elements paired with an elastic panel on the side for the Chelsea. The Oxford is more traditional, with a mid-top silhouette constructed from elastic materials to deliver stretchy components. The Oxford is accented with a set of formal ropes as the lacing system and derby-style eyestays. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Militaristic Elements in Fashion:** Incorporating militaristic elements into fashion designs offers disruptive innovation opportunities in creating rugged and edgy styles. - **Collaborations in Fashion Industry:** Collaborating with different brands in the fashion industry enables the creation of unique and innovative products like the Craig Green x Grenson footwear collection. - **Chunky Sole and Lugged Elements:** The use of chunky soles and lugged elements in footwear design presents disruptive innovation opportunities for those seeking to combine fashion with functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation by incorporating militaristic elements into their designs and collaborating with other brands to create unique products. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore disruptive innovation by incorporating chunky soles and lugged elements into their designs for a fashionable yet functional appeal. - **Collaborative Design:** The collaborative design industry can thrive in the fashion sector by partnering with brands to create innovative and stylish products that merge different design perspectives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Winter-Ready Militaristic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omaha-and-utah.md) - [Revamped Classic Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricker.md) - [Roped Collaborative Hybrid Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retropy-sandals.md) - [Seasonal Collaborative Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-and-red-wing.md) - [Collaborative Stealthy Fall Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-and-dr-martens.md) - [Stealthy All-Black Collaborative Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geo-forma-boot.md) - [Militant Heavy-Duty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gr10k-x-salomon-quest-low-2-sneakers.md) - [Rugged Stylish Utility Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olly-shinder.md) - [Rugged Collaborative Trail Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-mash-field-boot-gtx.md)
