Can Can-Inspired Sneakers

The Sneakerness Paris Red Low Tops Were Inspired by Moulin Rouge

— September 1, 2015 — Fashion
Sneakerness Paris has created these glorious all-red Low Top sneakers, inspired by the infamous Moulin Rouge -- home of can-can dancers, flashy outfits or a lack thereof. Seeing this vision through was Dutch shoe company 'Filling Pieces' and French artist Tyrsa.

While French-themed, the premium leather is Italian, and tanned to a bold red hue to stand out from the crowd. The brand's names inside and on the shoe are written in the style of the flashing 'Moulin Rouge' sign.

With only 50 pairs set to release, Sneakerness Paris is using a similar marketing strategy to other athletic shoe companies. Like adidas and Nike, Sneakerness created limited-edition shoes to garner much of the public's attention by offering much fewer the chance to actually own them.
Trend Themes
1. Limited-edition Sneakers - The trend of creating limited-edition sneakers creates scarcity and exclusivity, driving consumer demand and hype.
2. Collaborations with Artists - Collaborating with artists to design sneakers adds unique and artistic elements to footwear, attracting collector and niche markets.
3. Incorporating Cultural Themes - Incorporating cultural themes, such as the Moulin Rouge in this case, into sneaker designs creates a sense of nostalgia and connection for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Athletic Footwear - The athletic footwear industry can capitalize on limited-edition releases and collaborations to create buzz and drive sales.
2. Fashion Retail - Fashion retail companies can tap into the trend of incorporating cultural themes into products to attract consumers who value unique and nostalgic designs.
3. Art and Design - The art and design industry can benefit from collaborations with fashion brands, providing opportunities for artists to showcase their work on a popular and accessible platform.
