With your tootsies in these kicks, you'll be hopping, skipping and jumping towards a more risk-oriented, fashionable and high-energy wardrobe. The oxford style and pink-and-black coloring may not be fit for everyone; although, if you've got the right attitude, why not give them a try? Taking inspiration from more conservatively styled wing-tips and oxfords, Madden has designed a shoe fit for a fashion-lover's foot. With a fabulous color-blocked format, there is no shortage of color and life in these lace-ups. Made from leather and fabric components, these flat lace-up oxfords are a high-spirited addition to shoe shelves around the world. Take a literal walk on the wild side, and strut your stuff in the Steve Madden Taxi Oxfords. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Color-blocked Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for shoe companies to incorporate bold, high-intensity color blocking into their designs. - **Risk-oriented Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to market and appeal to consumers who seek more daring and adventurous styles. - **Updated Classic Styles:** Opportunity for fashion designers to give a fresh and modern twist to classic shoe styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Shoe companies can capitalize on the trend of color blocking by incorporating bright colors in their new footwear designs. - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can cater to the demand for more daring and adventurous styles by stocking items that appeal to risk-oriented consumers. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can create updated versions of classic shoe styles by integrating bolder colors and patterns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Sophisticated Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-oxford-collection.md) - [Patent Leather Colorblocking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/550-sneaker-pack.md) - [Comfort-Centric Ultra-Stylish Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrastylish-footwear.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Pink-Tonal Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duke-dexter4.md) - [Laid Back Mule Returns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zebzag-anywair-mule.md) - [Chic Ballet Mesh Flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreaming-ballet-mesh-flats.md) - [Citrus-Hued Anti-Fashion Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hoka-speed-loafer.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md)
