Cozy Tweed Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Iconic Sneaker Silhouette from Vans Receives a Fall Weather Update

— November 2, 2015 — Fashion
These tweed sneakers from Vans are a perfect addition to both casual, or even slightly more formal fall wardrobes.

The Vans 'Sk8-Hi' high-top sneaker has been made over in a refined tweed material upper that's perfectly suited for cooler weather. Tweed sneakers make perfect sense for fall because the material not only looks great, but also because it's both durable and moisture-resistant in harsher climates.

The dark grey tweed upper is set against a contrasting white side stripe, shoelaces and an outer sole with a re-enforced toecap made to stand up to wear and tear. This particular shoe model is actually just one example of the new rollout of tweed-inspired items for fall from Vans. Several other shoe designs including the low-top 'Era' are also set to receive a tweed makeover as well.
Trend Themes
1. Tweed Sneakers - Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate tweed materials into their sneaker designs for fall, offering a stylish and durable option for consumers.
2. Fall Weather Update - Opportunity for footwear companies to update their sneaker silhouettes with weather-resistant materials, catering to consumers' needs for functionality and style during the cooler seasons.
3. Tweed-inspired Rollout - Opportunity for sneaker brands to leverage the popularity of tweed by introducing a range of tweed-inspired shoe designs, expanding their product offerings to appeal to a wider customer base.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can incorporate tweed materials into their collections, offering trendy and functional options for fall and winter wardrobes.
2. Footwear - Footwear companies can update their sneaker designs with weather-resistant features, providing consumers with stylish and durable options for fall and winter activities.
3. Sneaker - Sneaker brands can introduce a range of tweed-inspired shoe designs to attract consumers looking for unique and fashionable footwear options.
