Dapper Duck Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The NEIGHBORHOOD Luxe Leather Winter Shoes Keep Feet Warm

— December 7, 2015 — Fashion
Japanese fashion brand NEIGHBORHOOD recently remodelled the classic duck boots to reflect a more opulent style for everyday wear that goes beyond hunting and exploration. These boots are made with luxe leather with contrasting stitching to provide the same durable wear as the traditional design with a much more dapper style.

Duck boots are typically worn by hunters out in the marshes or bogs providing water-resistant wear that keeps all sorts of unwanted elements out. These luxe duck boots by NEIGHBORHOOD creatively rebrand the style with a sleek black and leather contrasting silhouette complete with juxtaposed white stitching, a thick soul and a ribbed toe. Despite the sleek aesthetic of these leather boots, they are made more so for urban wear and warmth.
Trend Themes
1. Luxe Leather Footwear - Opulent materials and contrasting stitching give traditional footwear a fashionable upgrade, presenting an opportunity for designers to create new luxurious products.
2. Urban Exploration Shoes - Relatively practical products, such as duck boots, can be rebranded as fashionable, all-purpose footwear for individuals looking to explore urban environments or engage in outdoor activities.
3. Contrast Stitching in Fashion - Using contrasting stitching is an innovative way to add visual interest and style to a wide range of products, from footwear to clothing and accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - Designers and manufacturers can find opportunities in creating high-end leather products and rebranding traditional outdoor footwear into fashionable, all-purpose wear.
2. Urban Exploration Equipments - Creating innovative and stylish products for individuals looking to engage in outdoor activities and explore urban environments presents new opportunities for designers and manufacturers.
3. Stitching Industry - Stitching suppliers and equipment manufacturers can take advantage of the trend towards contrasting stitching to provide their products in the fashion and footwear industries.
