Explosive Flared Kicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Reebok Blast Brings a Fiery Look to the Sneaker World

— November 30, 2011 — Fashion
After seeing numerous releases and promotions for Reebok's Kamikaze and Pump model sneakers, it's refreshing to see the Reebok Blast come from the sports brand.

The Reebok Blast has a subtle flair that's pleasing to the eye. The premium leather upper certainly brings swagger to the shoe, and the red, white and black theme is a combination that always works well. But perhaps the highlight is the explosive design on the side that looks like the layout that serves as Batman's punches in the 60s live-action show. This design extends all the way to the heel and even appears on the tongue of the shoe as well. The shoe also utilizes Hexalite technology for proper cushioning.

The Reebok Blast will be available in two colors.
Trend Themes
1. Fiery Sneaker Designs - The explosive design on Reebok Blast shoes suggest an opportunity for brands to incorporate fiery and bold graphics in their sneaker designs.
2. Premium Leather Sneakers - Reebok Blast's successful use of premium leather for their shoe upper can inspire luxury brands to experiment with the material as well.
3. Incorporating Brand Elements in Sneaker Design - The subtle branding on Reebok Blast's tongue of the explosive design serves as an idea for integrating brand identity and elements into sneaker designs.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Industry - Footwear industry professionals can learn from Reebok Blast's success in producing unique and eye-catching sneaker designs.
2. Luxury Fashion Industry - The use of premium leather and the explosive design make Reebok Blast's shoes a good inspiration for luxury fashion industry brands to combine material and design.
3. Sportswear Industry - By incorporating the Hexalite technology for proper cushioning, Reebok Blast's shoes can serve as an idea for other sportswear industry players to innovate their cushioning technologies.
