# Jedi-Inspired Boots These Tan Leather Boots are Inspired by Those Worn by Luke Skywalker By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tan-leather-boots References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/02/18/jedi-footwear/) & [portfolios.risd.edu](http://portfolios.risd.edu/gallery/33393859/West-Coast-Desert-Duck-Boot) If these tan leather boots look familiar, that's because the designer behind them -- Althea Fyfe -- designed them with the style of Luke Skywalker in mind. Duck boot in style, the boots are designed to be a desert boot rather than a winter boot and feature a canvas, leather and rope composition. Completely made by hand, the leather boots fit onto the foot almost like a baggy sock; from here, the loose canvas fabric is tied in place to keep the boot taut on the ankle. Intended to be comfortable and durable, the tan leather boots are a true work of beauty by Fyfe and draw the mind to the desert planet of Tatooine in a galaxy far far away. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sci-fi Inspired Footwear:** The popularity of sci-fi IP continues to drive consumers to purchase fashion items designed to resemble those worn by their favorite characters. - **Handmade Products:** Consumers are increasingly interested in products that are handmade, which creates a clear opportunity for designers with crafting skills. - **Multifunctional Footwear:** Footwear that serves multiple purposes, such as a desert boot that can also be used as a work boot, is becoming increasingly popular among consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion designers and retailers can capitalize on the trend of sci-fi inspired footwear to attract consumers who are motivated by fandoms. - **Handmade Goods:** Crafters can leverage the interest in handmade products to develop and market unique items that appeal to consumers who value authenticity and uniqueness. - **Outdoor and Work Gear:** Manufacturers of outdoor and work gear can expand their product lines by incorporating multifunctional footwear that appeals to consumers who prioritize practicality and versatility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Hybrid Sneaker-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chukka-sneaker-boot.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Custom Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucasfilm.md) - [Relaxed Hybrid Design Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chelsea-sneaker-boot.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Insulated Sci-Fi Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-x-star-wars-skywalker-pilot-ski-collection.md) - [Bold Sand-Colored Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anistone-lo-suede-biker.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md)
