These super-sexy suede pumps named ‘Short Tina’ come with an ankle strap dripping with the swingy trim and are available in both hot pink and classic black. If one layer of fringe isn’t enough for you, then the ‘Tina Summer’ might be your dream shoe. These beauties look like a boot but they are a peep-toe pump with three layers of [suede fringe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abra) reaching halfway up the leg. Bergborf Goodman has the ankle version for $1,095. I’m not sure what the mid-calf style costs, but surely it’s more. I also had to include a few fun tourist shots from my travels to the Louboutin website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fringe Footwear:** Opportunity for creating innovative designs and incorporating fringe into different styles of footwear. - **Ankle Strap Trend:** Potential for reimagining ankle straps and creating unique designs that enhance the overall aesthetic of shoes. - **Multi-layer Fringe:** Opportunity for designing shoes with multiple layers of fringe for a more dramatic and eye-catching look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in offering fringe footwear as a trendy and fashionable option to consumers. - **Shoe Design:** Opportunity for footwear companies to experiment with various fringe designs and incorporate them into their collections. - **Luxury Retail:** Potential for luxury brands to create exclusive fringe footwear that caters to high-end customers looking for unique and distinctive styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Red Bottom Premium Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clam-chair.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Holiday Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-tassel-pump.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Stunning Japanese Art-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shun-sudo.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Dining-Seat-Inspired Cowboy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booth-boots.md) - [Comfort-Forward Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vicki-collection.md)
