Footwear Trends to Know from Leslie Gallin 2018

FN PLATFORM is less than a month away and fashion insiders are prepping to see what’s in store for the coming season. Shoe maven and President of Footwear at UBM, Leslie Gallin, has shared her top footwear trends to know, giving us a sneak peek at what’s in store this show!

MULES

The mule trend continues to reign supreme! Beloved for its comfort and versatility, the classic mule can be found in a variety of styles – heeled and flat, open-toe or pointed – making it the perfect fashionista-approved shoe for just about any climate.
BESPOKE SNEAKERS

Looking to blend comfort and style? This trend offers a sophisticated take on the chunky athletic sneaker sported by your “Average Joe”. Bespoke sneakers for men can be worn from day-to-night and give a laid-back vibe that’s still buttoned up!


SOCK BOOTS

If there’s one trend that really has legs (pun-intended), it’s the sock boot! The ankle-hugging style has been spotted on the runway and the streets and has showed no signs of slipping away! Found with both chunky or stiletto heels, the sock boot offers a slimming effect that can be dressed up or down!
TECH MADE FOOTWEAR

Footwear made by robots sounds like something out of a movie, but, it’s an industry trend that is growing in popularity! From 3-D printing to robots handmaking shoes, the future of fashion is looking to tech-made products for efficiency and style!
SEE THROUGH SHOES

Call this your new neutral, see through shoes are having a moment! When it comes to adding instant edge to any look – the choice is clear!
FN PLATFORM will take place this coming August 13-15, 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
