Zan sandals by Gwen Stefani's line L.A.M.B are edgy stilettos filled with straps, buckles and large treaded 1-inch platforms. The 5-inch skinny high heels have a gold zipper in the back for the perfect bootie-sandal effect.
My favorite part about the Zan sandal has to be the large tread on the bottom of the platform. While most treads are usually hidden, the Zan sandal displays it for everyone to see.
Implications - These are definitely fierce heels that are not for the shy. Strut your stuff down the sidewalk in these bold babies and you're sure to stop traffic. Slip into these spicy kicks and hit the town.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Ultra-treaded Footwear
- Footwear designs that prominently feature large treads on the bottom of the soles.
- Strappy Stilettos
- High-heeled shoes with multiple straps and buckles around the ankle and/or foot area.
- Bootie-sandal Hybrids
- Footwear that combines elements of boots and sandals, such as a covered heel and open toe.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- Opportunities for fashion designers and manufacturers to experiment with unconventional footwear designs.
- Shoe Retail
- Sales potential for retailers that offer unique and eye-catching footwear styles.
- Entertainment and Fashion Events
- Possibilities for fashion shows, red carpet events, and other occasions that call for bold, attention-grabbing footwear choices.
