# Hybrid Bistro-Sneaker Shops KNOCK Kitchen & Kicks Combines a Love of Good Food and Sneakers By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-12-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knock-kitchen-kicks References: [architecturelab.net](http://architecturelab.net/knock-kitchen-kicks-onion/) & [knockbkk](http://www.knockbkk.com/) KNOCK Kitchen & Kicks is a beautifully designed bistro and sneaker shop located in the heart of Bangkok. Designed by Thai architecture firm Onion, the stunning hybrid bistro-sneaker shop sits spread across four floors and creates a haven of good food and stylish sneakers. The stunning space features a bright teal dining space complemented by a stark white retail area that makes up the sneaker shop. Shoes are seen displayed on a clear back wall of the sneaker boutique that can be seen from inside the stylish restaurant area. KNOCK Kitchen & Kicks is also a great example of hybridized retail that offers consumers multiple reasons to visit a retail establishment. By providing an upscale dining experience with direct access to the boutique sneaker shop, the brand can create a unique experience for their customers that is likely unmatched by competitors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Retail Spaces:** Incorporating multiple product offerings or services to create a unique customer experience. - **Blurring of Physical Spaces:** Combining the aesthetic of one industry with another to create an immersive environment. - **Brand Partnerships:** Collaborating with complementary businesses to offer combined products or services. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** There is an increasing opportunity to partner with companies outside of the food and beverage industry to create hybrid retail spaces. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Retailers in the fashion and footwear industries can leverage the aesthetic of other products or services to create unique shopping experiences. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** Partnering with businesses in this field can help create truly unique and immersive retail environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food Court Footwear Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-spot.md) - [Diner Culture Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticky-kicks.md) - [Revitalized Shopping Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foot-lockers-home-court.md) - [Experiential Running Shoe Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sportsshoes.md) - [Phygital Sportswear Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-style.md) - [Pop-Up Recovery Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikes-soup-shop.md) - [Next-Gen Sneaker Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/store-of-the-future-concept.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Shoe Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-nodaleto-shoe-store.md) - [Custom Sneaker Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneakify.md)
