Vegan footwear brand [ROMBAUT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rombaut-1) introduces its Spring 2019 collection through a quirky campaign video that is shot to imitate the aesthetics of an old-school infomercial. The humorous video stars American model and actress Paz de la Huerta and it boasts an 80s style.

Boris Camaca directs the video and it features a series of varying ROMBAUT customers including an animal activist, an investment banker, and a real estate professional -- all raving about the [vegan footwear label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athletic-bouldering-shoe). The new seasonal collection is comprised of a variety of different footwear designs. This includes a [shoe-sandal hybrid model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs), sneakers, boots, and a notable hybrid design that blends a cowboy boot with a sandal. The ROMBAUT Spring 2019 collection is now available to shop online.
