With its visually stimulating heel-and-platform composition, this wedge definitely stands out from all of the other [solid wedge styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedge-collections) out there. The United Nude Abstract Wedge is like a mini piece of architecture with its [abstract angles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-architects-and-fendi) and heel composed of wood. It also features two black straps with a buckle, giving it a more classic look if the wedge part is just too crazy for you. For geometry nerds and shoe lovers alike, the United Nude Abstract Wedge is a coveted piece of art and sure to make a statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Architecturally Abstract Footwear:** Designing footwear with visually stimulating heel-and-platform compositions and abstract angles. - **Innovative Wedge Heels:** Creating unconventional wedge styles that challenge traditional stiletto designs. - **Geometry-inspired Fashion:** Incorporating mathematical principles into fashion design for a unique and eye-catching look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear Industry:** Exploring new and unconventional materials and designs to create statement-making footwear. - **Fashion Design Industry:** Incorporating architectural and mathematical principles to create unique and innovative fashion designs. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Catering to niche markets, such as geometry nerds and shoe lovers, to offer high-end, statement-making products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Wedged Sneaker Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-wedge.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Sophisticated Nude Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule.md) - [Stylish Wedge Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedge-collections.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Comfortable Hybrid Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneex.md)
