The February 2016 shoe trends reveal that new technology and out-of-the-box designs are gradually changing the footwear industry. While shoes serve a practical purpose, brands are now looking at ways to make footwear that improves our lives in different aspects.
One of the continued footwear innovations is the emphasis on performance-enhancing kicks. These types of shoes are designed for serious athletes who are looking for different ways to improve their performance on the field or in the gym. Some examples of fitness-centric footwear include laceless soccer cleats that provide superior ball handling and exercise-specific footwear for CrossFit enthusiasts.
Beyond performance-enhancing designs, footwear is now created with new technology in mind as well. Indeed, the February 2016 shoe trends reveal that high-tech footwear is piquing the interest of ordinary consumers. Some futuristic footwear designs include 3D-printed platform heels, magnetic moon-trotting sneakers and LED sci-fi pumps.
