Author: 1626 Selected Trends
The design of sports shoes used to originate from all kinds of male sports competitions, but with the change and development of the trend, various brands have begun to pay more attention to the female market, and have introduced exclusive shoes for many young people, which has attracted the attention of players.
Since then, female elements have begun to affect the design aesthetics of sports shoes. In 2023, for example, 'Mary Jane Shoes' and' Ballet Shoes' will become two major trends that cannot be ignored in the shoe circle and will continue to have an impact.
Mary Jane sneakers
In 2023, we can find that many co branded projects have begun to create Mary Jane shoes, and this trend is becoming more and more intense. Even "Fashion Bazaar" described last year as the "Year of Mary Jane".
Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GT-2160 As one of the most popular sports brands last year, ASICS, together with Danish women's wear brand Cecilie Bahnsen, launched a series of co branded shoes. The design adopted the iconic contour of Mary Jane's shoes to reshape the brand's GT-2160 training shoes, and ran through the shoes with elegant and delicate flower elements.
The joint brand planning once attracted wide attention and received good market response. At present, the market price of the joint brand style between the two sides is between 3000 and 4000 yuan.
Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GT-2160 Following the good results of the first cooperation, the two sides added a second wave of design at the end of the year, and launched two GT-2160 shoes in pink and blue, both of which continue the bright outline of Mary Jane's shoes, further highlighting the core of women.
Goodfight x Vault by Vans OG Style 93 LX Vault by Vans also changed the classic street image in the past, and jointly released this unique OG Style 93 LX shoe with the clothing brand Goodfit. This model was first released in 1994, and its shape is highly similar to Mary Jane's shoes. Goodfit also customized detachable flower accessories for the vamp.
Heaven by Marc Jacobs x Dr. Martens Addina Bex In the third cooperation between Dr. Martens and Heaven by Marc Jacobs, the two parties reshaped the brand's Addina Bex shoes. The two pairs of Mary Jane shoes were made of black and wine red velvet materials, supplemented by metal bear details, and the overall Y2K style was rich.
CONVERSE All Star Cup Epee Mary Jane AK OX CONVERSE's Japanese line also launched an All Star Cup Epee Mary Jane AK OX shoe based on Mary Jane's shoes, and added unique block carving for leather shoes to the upper, which is an elegant style created in cooperation with stylist Arata Kobayashi.
ROA Mary Jane Sneakers
Oakley Flesh Sandals ROA, a brand famous for outdoor shoes, released Mary Jane Sneakers last year, while Oakley Factory Team, another noteworthy brand, also launched Sandals version for the classic Flesh shoes. These shoes combine Mary Jane's shoes with outdoor sports shoes without any conflict.
After receiving renewed attention, it is not difficult to find that Mary Jane shoes are gradually expanding to the market that did not belong to it.
Ballet shoes
Ballet shoes are also one of the important trends that cannot be ignored last year. The word Balletcore derived from it has more than 100 million views on Tiktok.
Kiko Kostadinov When it comes to ballet shoes, we have to mention the Bulgarian fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov, whose women's dress line of the same name brand released several pairs of shoes with ballet shoes as the creative inspiration last year, including Ballet Hybrid Shoes, Lella Hybrid Shoes, and so on. Its intricate tie elements have become new wear highlights.
Kiko Kostadinov x Heaven by Marc Jacobs x ASICS In addition, Kiko Kostadinov also exposed the three-way joint venture with Heaven by Marc Jacobs and ASICS to be released in 2024 on the social media platform. The ASICS Gel Kiril shoes remodeled with the outline of ballet shoes again attracted the attention of a crowd of sneaker players, and the strap design of the upper showed a strong neutral style.
Simone Rocha Beaded Criss Cross Tracker Ballerina Simone Rocha, a British cutting-edge designer brand founded in 2010, is famous for its unique feminine design style. Last year, the brand launched Beaded Criss Cross Tracker Ballerina, which was wildly promoted on the social media platform, and has become a matching tool full of girlish feelings.
Lazy Oaf Happy Sad Lace Up Ballet Sneaker Lazy Oaf, a clothing brand founded in East London, has also launched its own Happy Sad Lace Up Ballet Sneaker, and has a high traffic on Tiktok. The shoes are also sold out quickly on the brand's official website, which is difficult to get started.
Att。 Race up sneakers This "ballet style" also has a wide audience in South Korea, the Korean brand Att. It is famous for highlighting modern design with unique colors. The brand's latest Race up snakes has become very popular on the Internet recently. The use of thin straps also makes this shoe suitable for most women's wear style.
BALENCIAGA Ballet Shoes Recently, BALENCIAGA, which has always been famous for its heavy shoes and boots, has also been paid attention to because of ballet shoes. Among them, the five toed ballet shoes with a price of 925 dollars were once a hot topic.
Moreover, we can still see the figure of men's ballet shoes in the brand's spring/summer 2024 series, which is likely to become one of the key trends in the future fashion field.
With the increasing influence of 'women's shoes' on the design of sneakers, the unique contour of Mary Jane's shoes and the complex straps of ballet shoes accurately hit the demand of the women's market, and also triggered more expectations. Maybe in 2024, more feminine elements will appear on sports shoes, which is worth looking forward to.
