# Winged Flats Klushka Wings Shoes Channel Native American Culture By klushka | Published 2010-09-11 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-illustration-on-shoes References: [folksy](http://www.folksy.com/shops/Klushka) & [klushka-tales.blogspot](http://klushka-tales.blogspot.com) I love birds, and I think if I wore [shoes with wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/will-your-wings), I would feel a sense of freedom. These Klushka Wings shoes have illustrated wings on their [soft leather surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society). My inspiration was from a visit to the British Museum, where I found beautiful drawings of animals on Native Americans' leather coats. These drawings were not only decorative, but also spiritual. The Native Americans believed that the feather was symbolic to the bird's ability to carry prayers to spirits. I liked it a lot. Check out more images of the Klushka Wings shoes above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illustrated Shoes:** The trend of illustrated shoes allows consumers to express their personal style and incorporate art into their footwear. - **Cultural Inspiration:** The trend of using cultural inspiration in fashion design creates unique and meaningful products that resonate with consumers. - **Spiritual Symbolism:** The trend of incorporating spiritual symbolism in products adds depth and meaning to consumer experiences and aligns with their values. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the trend of illustrated shoes to create innovative designs that appeal to art-conscious consumers. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can embrace the trend of cultural inspiration in design to offer diverse and culturally significant shoe options. - **Gifts & Souvenirs:** The gifts & souvenirs industry can tap into the trend of incorporating spiritual symbolism in products to create meaningful and personalized gift options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cross-Cultural Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rahul-mishra.md) - [Mossy Stone-Mirrored Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravest-studio.md) - [Heritage Dress Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-rk61.md) - [Frog Inspired Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frog-clog.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Split-Toe Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-rift-black-swan.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Waved Graphic Moccasin Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yinyang-collection.md) - [Unique Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md)
