Hiking-Themed Paneled Sneakers

Our Legacy's Cage Sneaker Gets a Sawdust Colorway Update

— January 13, 2021 — Fashion
Our Legacy introduces a new tonal iteration of the Cage Sneaker with the latest Sawdust colorway design full of neutral hues. The base foundation of the design is made up of a blend of ballistic CORDURA paneling with Italian suede overlaying it to give it depth.

The soft hue is prominent throughout the paneling and the forefoot and laced overlays are done in a darker beige color. The underlays also follow the same tones as it is detailed in a muted tan colorway. The lacing system informs hiking style ropes in speckles of black and purple accents. The tongue has a rib cage outline that is done in black to add even more contrast. Underneath all of this is a Vibram sole unit foundation and white midsole.

Trend Themes
1. Hiking-inspired Sneakers - The trend for footwear that blends fashion with outdoor escapades continues in 2021, providing an opportunity for brands to create versatile and comfortable shoes for urban, active consumers.
2. Neutral-color Sneakers - Sneakers in earthy, neutral tones continue to be popular, leaving space for designers to experiment with different textures and materials as a way to bring a fresh approach to classic shades.
3. Cordura-suede Blend Sneakers - The combination of two materials, such as the CORDURA ballistic paneling and Italian suede used in Our Legacy's Cage Sneaker, is an example of how designers can create unique textures and greater levels of durability in their products.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Designers and fashion brands can explore how to use functional features from outdoor wear, such as grip soles and weather-resistant materials, in their collections, giving rise to new forms of urban clothing that cater to both style and practicality.
2. Footwear - The footwear industry can embrace new ways of blending different materials, including leather, mesh, and eco-friendly alternatives, to offer consumers more options for every occasion and activity level.
3. Sportswear - Sports and leisure brands can tap into the growing trend of hybrid shoes that can be worn on rough terrains and in urban environments, improving comfort and performance for athletes and casual wearers.
