The menswear shoe collection resembles much of a womenswear appeal. The line features a series of iridescent footwear, very much inspired by [Acne’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-aid-beauty-debuts) Spring 2012 womenswear collection. The shiny iridescent shoes all feature mini platforms for an updated look. Straying farther away from the traditional ideology of Lanvin, the menswear collection features a high-top sneaker made from textured wools. Each shoe is comprised of luxury fabrics and encompasses the high/low theory of dress. From high-end toting shoes to low-end casual sandals, the Lanvin line is ready to outfit any man for any occasion. From a stunning [perforated design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perforated-flats) to luxurious python lace-ups the Lanvin Spring 2013 Men’s Shoe Collection is extravagant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Iridescent Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of iridescent materials in other industries like accessories or home decor. - **Womenswear-inspired Menswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of womenswear-inspired clothing for men, challenging traditional gender norms. - **High/low Theory of Dress:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of clothing that combines high-end and low-end elements to cater to a wider range of consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unconventional designs and materials in the footwear industry to appeal to a broader audience. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new concepts and designs that blur the boundaries between traditionally labeled men's and women's fashion. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of luxury products that combine unconventional elements, attracting a younger and more adventurous clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dandyism-Inspired Men's Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-buttersoft-sneaker.md) - [Luxury Men's Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mens-footwear.md) - [Stylish Everyday Men's Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-2.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Spring-Ready Intricately Laced Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule.md) - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Organic Sleek Avant-Garde Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural.md)
