Top 95 Shoes Trends in September

From Retro Cartoon-Inspired Clogs to Sparkling Pink Skate Shoes

— September 30, 2023 — Autos
This list of September 2023 shoe trends highlights a broad range of design concepts -- many of which stem from collaborative efforts and some that push the boundaries of design. Crocs has launched a few new looks for the season and one of its notable projects is alongside Extra Butter as the two highlight the Jetsons.

The iconic cartoon marks its 60th-year milestone and the two brands unveil a special shoe to honor the anniversary with a bright green palette and Jibbitz reminiscent of the characters and show. Following the pop culture influence is Nike's Barbie Dunk sneaker with bright pink layering details throughout the upper constructed from leather for a premium texture. It is then detailed with black glittery details in the form of the Swoosh branding on the side.
