Brick Textural Casual Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pass~Port and Vans Give the Sid Pro a Unique Textural Makeover

— April 16, 2019 — Fashion
Australian skate brand Pass~Port works in collaboration with Vans in a new iteration of Vans' signature 'Sid Pro' silhouette. The model is originally from the 90s and it is given a makeover that alters the upper's overall textural look -- it features a brick-like design aesthetic.

The uppers are embossed with the brick patterning accents and offer two colorway options of either red or green. The inspiration steam from a local Australian skate area entitled Fitzy Plaza found within Edinburg Gardens in North Fitzroy. It is a community that has a lot of burnt red brick buildings as well as lush green plants. Additional details include the custom tongue labels, embroidered branding on the heel and instep, Ultracush HD sock liners, and DURACAP sections. The sneakers are also accompanied by a black bomber jacket featuring branding from both contributing labels.
Trend Themes
1. Embossed Textural Sneakers - The use of embossed brick-like patterns on sneakers offers a unique and eye-catching textural aesthetic.
2. Collaborative Sneaker Collections - The partnership between Pass~Port and Vans demonstrates the growing trend of brands working together to create unique and limited edition sneaker collections.
3. Inspired by Local Environments - Designers are increasingly drawing inspiration from local surroundings, such as the brick buildings and green plants of Fitzy Plaza in North Fitzroy, Australia, to create unique and meaningful sneaker designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate embossed textures into clothing and accessories, taking inspiration from the brick patterned sneakers.
2. Skateboarding - The skateboarding industry can collaborate with fashion brands to create limited edition sneaker collections that reflect the local skate culture and environment, as seen in the Pass~Port and Vans collaboration.
3. Branding and Marketing - Branding and marketing professionals can learn from the success of collaborative sneaker collections, leveraging partnerships to create unique and highly sought-after products that resonate with target audiences.
