# Posh Padded Heel Sneakers SUPRA Falcon Shoes Score Points on Comfort and Design By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-09-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supra-falcon-shoes References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/08/supra-falcon) & [suprafootwear](http://www.suprafootwear.com/shop) The SUPRA Falcon shoes are an accomplishment in shoe design. The best part about this shoe is that the very thing that makes the shoe comfortable is the same thing that makes the shoe unique and well-designed. The SUPRA Falcon shoes’ main design feature is the ample padding at the heel and collar of the shoe. The extra padding makes great lines on the shoe while also making the shoes look and feel comfy. The kicks come in black or caramel full-grain vegetable dyed leather that looks sophisticated and high-quality. The sole of the shoe is vulcanized with double layered foxing. The SUPRA Falcon shoes are expected to be released soon on the SUPRA online store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North 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's Driving This Trend - **Padded Heel Sneakers:** The trend of padded heel sneakers is disrupting the traditional design of sneakers by improving comfort and style simultaneously. - **Full-grain Vegetable Dyed Leather:** The trend of using full-grain vegetable dyed leather in footwear is disrupting the use of traditional leather production methods, creating a more eco-friendly and sustainable alternative. - **Vulcanized Soles with Double Layered Foxing:** The trend of using vulcanized soles with double layered foxing in sneakers is disrupting the traditional sole construction, creating a more durable and long-lasting shoe design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Posh padded heel sneakers are disrupting the sneaker market, creating opportunities for fashion brands to incorporate this trend in their footwear designs. - **Athletic Apparel Industry:** The trend of padded heel sneakers is disrupting the athletic apparel industry, creating opportunities for brands to produce footwear that offers both comfort and performance. - **Sustainable Footwear Industry:** Full-grain vegetable dyed leather and the use of eco-friendly production methods are disrupting the traditional footwear industry, creating opportunities for sustainable footwear brands to thrive. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sponge-Like Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-zponge.md) - [Ultra-Plush Cushioned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-samba.md) - [Bold Futuristic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clifton-one9.md) - [Ultra-Durable Cushioned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clifton-ls.md) - [Stealthy Padded Sneaker Modesl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-sneaker-1.md) - [Autumnal Aerodynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dfranklin-aero-sneakers.md) - [Urban Cushioning Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-kinetic-sp.md) - [Ultra-Thin Premium Fashion Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapse-sneaker.md) - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md)
