# Co-Branded Holiday Footwear The New Republic by Mark McNairy Collection Was Recently Launched By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-12-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-republic References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2017/12/new-republic-by-mark-mcnairy-winter-2017-collection) & [newrepublicman](https://www.newrepublicman.com/) For a Holiday 2017 collection, New Republic joined forces with American fashion designer Mark McNairy. Included in the small collection are two Chelsea-style boots that constructed from a fine suede material, as well as two iterations of furry slip-on shoes that can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. While the boots are available in a light tan hue and a deep black one, the slip-on shoes come in camouflage and black colorways. As all of the designs make use of only a few different hues and materials, the footwear has a highly minimalist aesthetic, which enables it to be incredibly versatile. All of the styles can be found at the New Republic website, where prices start as just $29 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Co-branded Footwear:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate and create unique footwear collections. - **Minimalist Aesthetic:** Growing demand for footwear designs that have a simple and versatile look. - **Affordable Luxury:** Increasing market for high-quality footwear at affordable prices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Retail:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with designers and create co-branded footwear collections. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Demand for footwear manufacturers to produce minimalist designs that offer versatility. - **E-commerce:** Growing market for online retailers to offer affordable luxury footwear options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Footwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-x-sanders.md) - [Footwear-Branded Holiday Dinner Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-dinner-set.md) - [Iconic Irish Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-irish-footwear.md) - [Blockish Tread-Covered Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot.md) - [Textural Chunky Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-and-adidas-1.md) - [Co-Branded Adventure Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenclyffe-boots.md) - [Reimagined Classic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandro-x-clarks-originals.md) - [Collaborative Rugged Stylish Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-and-paraboot.md) - [Hybrid Brogue-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henry-wing-cap-chelsea-boot.md)
