# Mondrian-Inspired Sandals The Surface to Air Spring 2010 Collection Will Ignite Your Shoe Fetish By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-12-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surface-to-air-spring-2010 References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/the_goods/surface_to_air_shoes_spring.php) & [surfacetoair](http://www.surfacetoair.com) The ground is covered in a thick blanket of snow (where I am, anyway) so it’s basically impossible for me to consider sandals of any kind. Which is why seeing the Surface to Air Spring 2010 collection, with its peep-toe wedges and suede styles (suede is an inconceivable material in my climate), makes me somewhat upset. Nonetheless, the shoe brand has done a fantastic job for next season. The styles in the Surface to Air Spring 2010 line include [strappy sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-sandals) featuring everything from [Mondrian color block patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-x-camper-pelotissima-collection) to faux snake skin, [suede lace-up wedges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockett-jones2), and leopard printed sandal booties. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Color Block Patterns in Footwear:** There is potential for the use of color block patterns in footwear beyond just sandals, utilizing both bold and subdued colors in unique ways. - **Mixed Material Footwear:** The use of multiple materials in footwear, such as suede and snake skin, creates a unique and stylish look for the consumer market. - **Sandal-inspired Boots:** Designing boots with a sandal-like aesthetic, such as the leopard printed sandal booties, creates a new style hybrid for the fashion industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear:** Incorporating trendy patterns and materials could lead to a new wave of fashion-forward footwear designs for consumers. - **Fashion:** Advancements in footwear design offer opportunities for the fashion industry to experiment with unique styles and ultimately stand out in the market. - **Textiles:** The mixing of various materials in footwear presents textile companies with the opportunity to create new innovative options for shoe manufacturers that will appeal to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Ready Comfortable Sandal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Bohemian Accessory Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-it-spring-raffia-and-cork.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Woven Sandal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-sandals.md) - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Dynamic Neutral-Toned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanuk-1.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md)
