Flight Jacket-Themed Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

KAPITAL's MA-1 Sneaker References Vintage NASA Apparel

— May 1, 2019 — Fashion
KAPITAL introduces a new sneaker model for the warmer season entitled the 'MA-1 sneaker' and it is a signature German militaristic trainer model. It is complete in white and gray hues as the colorway and the uppers are constructed from a blend of both suede and nylon materials, drawing inspiration directly from militaristic outerwear.

Specifically, the sneakers highlight the MA-1 flight bomber jacket, which is a coat worn by NASA astronauts originally in blue and white colors. Small details of the jacket are seen across the sneaker's makeup, including the snap buttons found on the lateral side, the chunky leather pull tabs found at the front zippers, the quilted nylon materials, the pen pocket at the tongue, and the toebox.
Trend Themes
1. Flight Jacket-themed Sneakers - Opportunity to integrate fashion and military influences, creating a unique and nostalgic footwear style.
2. Militaristic Trainer Models - Possibility to expand the market for militaristic-inspired footwear by incorporating different design elements and materials.
3. Vintage NASA Apparel - Potential for collaboration between fashion and space industries to create fashion-forward pieces inspired by space exploration.
Industry Implications
