He has never been one to stay simple, conservative or conventional, which seems especially exaggerated this time around. Since the [classic loafer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-croc) and [plain desert boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-boat-shoe) are both seeing a resurgence, why not combine the two? Naturally, atypical [animal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loafer-mule) are used to inject spice into some of the pieces, while outstanding fabrics and colors are used to adorn others. The sleek black dress shoe is overrated -- this collection of kicks feature splashes of canary yellow, vibrant orange and just a lick of passion red. McNairy’s shoes have a certain quality about them -- if you wear them, your shoes are no longer just supporting soles beneath your feet, they are also making bold statements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal Print Footwear:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by combining classic shoe styles with atypical animal prints. - **Colorful Statement Shoes:** Chance to innovate in the shoe market by offering vibrant and bold colors in footwear collections. - **Hybrid Shoe Styles:** Potential for disruptive innovation by combining different shoe styles, such as loafers and desert boots. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers, brands, and retailers to capitalize on the growing demand for unique and unconventional shoe designs. - **Footwear:** Chances for shoe manufacturers and retailers to introduce trend-setting shoes that incorporate animal prints and vibrant colors. - **Accessories:** Possibility for accessory companies to expand their product offerings by creating hybrid shoe styles that cater to fashion-forward consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Suede Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockett-jones2.md) - [Timeless Footwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-x-sanders.md) - [Ultra-Sophisticated Timeless Loafer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monogram-line.md) - [Ultra-Sophisticated Men's Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loafer-in-ivy.md) - [Artfully Premium Loafer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monograms.md) - [Luxury Men's Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mens-footwear.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Stealthy Rugged Textural Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penton-loafer.md) - [Beige-Toned Resin-Coated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-desert-trek.md)
