# Graffiti Artist Kicks The Stash & Sebago Beacon Boot Spring 2011 By Michael Hines | Published 2011-01-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stash-sebago-beacon-boot References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/01/14/stash-x-sebago-beacon-spring-2011/) & [shoes-up](http://shoes-up.com/blog/?p=15750) Graffiti artist Stash has hooked up with Sebago to put his own unique touch on the Beacon Boot. The Stash Sebago & Beacon Boot is designed with a [paint-splashed upper panel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot), paying tribute to Stash's [graffiti art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slawn-crocs-classic-clog). I really love what Stash has done here. The Beacon Boot on its own is eye-catching enough, but the added drops of paint up the cool factor and add some much needed color. The Stash Sebago & Beacon Boot comes in five different colorways and should hit stores sometime in February. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Graffiti Art-inspired Footwear:** The use of spray paint graphics and bold color in footwear design, inspired by graffiti art. - **Collaborative Capsule Collections:** Artists and designers partnering with brands on limited edition products that showcase each other's creative talents. - **Streetwear as High Fashion:** The integration of urban style into designer fashion, resulting in streetwear becoming more mainstream and luxury. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear:** Opportunities for footwear brands to collaborate with artists and designers to create unique, limited edition products that appeal to trend-aware consumers. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and brands incorporating elements of streetwear and graffiti into high fashion, creating a new and exciting visual language. - **Art:** Graffiti artists and other visual creators expanding into commercial collaborations with fashion and other industries, offering new platforms to showcase their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear-Inspired Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot.md) - [Sneaker-Honoring Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernica-x-stash.md) - [Collaborative UK-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haven-and-clarks.md) - [Beige-Toned Resin-Coated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-desert-trek.md) - [Artistic Naturally Dyed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso.md) - [Collaborative Earthy Tonal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raso-gammato.md) - [High-Cut Waterproof Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffer-boot-1.md) - [Weatherproof Sneaker-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot.md) - [Nature-Inspired Boot Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baffin-introduces-sea-green.md)
