Luxe Python Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'The Remade' Added to the adidas Originals NMD with Gold Locks and Snakeskin

— September 26, 2016 — Fashion
A brand that's known to have a talent for adapting sneakers with a luxurious twist, The Remade recently set its sights on the Hermès and adidas Originals NMD model.

The sneakers are elaborately elegant, with python material on the ankle and heel of the uppers that constructs straps that stick out and tags that hang down. In addition, The Remade supplies the sneakers with a few gold accents, which are shown most prominently on the tongue with a large lock and on a plate that finishes off the snakeskin strap -- however the lock can alternatively be taken off and placed on the heel instead.

These accents appear additionally on the side of the strap and on the tag a little as well. Meanwhile, the majority of the upper is made up of a sleek soft leather.
Trend Themes
1. Luxe Sneaker Customization - The trend of adding luxury materials and personalized accents to sneakers creates opportunities for customization startups to disrupt the market.
2. Exotic Materials - The trend of using exotic materials, such as python, in sneaker designs could disrupt the traditional leather and fabric industry.
3. Mixed-material Sneaker Design - The trend of combining different materials, such as python and gold accents, in sneaker design creates opportunities for collaboration between fashion and tech companies.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Manufacturing - As customers demand more customization, 3D printing and other new technologies could disrupt traditional footwear manufacturing techniques to enable on-demand, personalized shoe production.
2. Luxury Fashion - Luxury fashion brands could enter the sneaker market and use their expertise on refined materials to disrupt the streetwear culture.
3. Material Supply Chain - The trend of exotic materials in luxury sneakers presents a supply chain opportunity for entrepreneurs to disrupt the leather and textile industry with new materials or alternative production methods.
