# Coltish Cowboy Kicks The Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Saddle Chukka is Perfectly Rustic By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-03-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saddle-chukka References: [selectism](http://www.selectism.com/news/2011/03/29/mark-mcnairy-new-amsterdam-saddle-chukka-boot/) & [openingceremony.us](http://www.openingceremony.us/products.asp?menuid=1&designerid=559&productid=35409) The Saddle Chukka from the Mark McNairy New Amsterdam shoe collection is a sweet pair of boots. The upper is a combination of [brush suede and leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockett-jones2) in a pattern that resembles the look of a horse with a saddle strapped on to it. Other details of the Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Saddle Chukka include leather lacing and lining, as well as a wicked red sole to round off the rustic look. Currently, these kicks can be purchased in a colorway called Dirty Buck, definitely a title worthy of these horse-inspired shoes. The Saddle Chukka is an awesome twist on the [classic chukka silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chukka-sneaker-boot). They look just as sweet as [cowboy boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booth-boots) and would give a hint of farmer style to city slicker clothing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Equestrian-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional footwear market with unique designs and patterns inspired by horses and riding equipment. - **Rustic Fashion:** Chance to introduce fashion items with a rugged and countryside-inspired style for individuals who want to add a touch of rustic charm to their wardrobe. - **Hybrid Shoe Designs:** Opportunity to innovate by combining multiple materials, patterns, and colors to produce new and edgy footwear designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Brands can create unique collections that reflect the aesthetic preferences of consumers in the sector and establish themselves as pioneers in the fashion industry. - **Footwear:** Companies can introduce equestrian-inspired shoes and boots that cater to consumers' demand for quality, durability, and unique fashion. - **Sports & Outdoor Activities:** Opportunity to innovate and introduce new footwear designs that combine fashion and practicality, which meet the demands of enthusiasts of sports, outdoor activities, and the countryside lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Footwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-x-sanders.md) - [Hybrid Brogue-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henry-wing-cap-chelsea-boot.md) - [High-Top Moccasin-Style Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-easymoc-scout-boot.md) - [Unformal Derby-Style Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jalisco.md) - [Charitable Horse Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-kicks.md) - [Bold Sand-Colored Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anistone-lo-suede-biker.md) - [Kazakhstan-Informed Saddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-saddle-design.md) - [Incredibly Sophisticated Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-boot-design.md) - [Fashion-Forward Suede Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-1.md)
