# Modern Footwear Interpretations Suicoke Debuts a Fashion-Forward Footwear Range for FW 2019 By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-08-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-footwear References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/suicoke-fw19-campaign/#slide-9) & [suicoke](https://suicoke.ca/) [Suicoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suicoke-4) releases the lookbook for its ultra-stylish Fall/Winter 2019 range and the collection proves to be pushing the boundaries of modern footwear. After a slew of collaborative projects, the silhouettes offered this season are all made in-house. Each one is a rather unconventional and style-minded take on classic models. One, for example, is a reinterpretation of the classic duck boot. Geared for the urban environment, the modern footwear collection combines eye-captivating aesthetics and function-forward design. Emphasis is put on the lengthy partnership between the Japanese brand and [Vibram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-furoshiki). At the beginning of this collaboration, the two companies had created the Vibram [Morflex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3eye-classic-lug-1) sole which, aside from durability, delivers "resilience and cushioning." This element is present throughout the Fall/Winter 2019 collection as it still "adheres to the strong aesthetic of Suicoke."
