Key Footwear on the Catwalk Trends for Spring/Summer 2017

Hot off the catwalks at fashion capitals around the world, discover a range of influential footwear looks emerging for Spring/Summer 2017 with the latest trend intelligence from Trendstop.com. Updating styles for both menswear and womenswear, these trends have been analysed from recent Spring/Summer collections; having emerged in designer runway shows and on the feet of street style trendsetters, these directional footwear looks represent new design innovations that are likely to evolve and develop into S/S17. A strong focus for this season sees designers explore inspirational new ways to revamp and modernise classic footwear shapes. This week, FashionUnited readers can get a sneak peek at two different fashion-forward approaches to the pool slider shoe, a summery footwear style with a contemporary city feel.

Pool Shoe 3.0

Women's pool shoes receive a fresh update with bold prints and sportive detailing. Multi-strap uppers are set off by vibrant primary tones and graphic geometric patterns, mounted onto flat or blocked sandwich soles. Metallic shades lend a touch of luxe, while mixed materials and colour pop details add extra interest.

The Luxe Pool Slider

In menswear, pool sliders are refined for summer with luxury trims and fabrications, with decorative cut-outs elevating simple strap styles with a more directional feel. Wide straps create an unfussy silhouette for high-end designs, while sneaker-style soles inject an unexpected sportswear sensibility.
