16
00:00:52,473 --> 00:00:54,234
Speaker 5: you're going to buy something, is it or is it

17
00:00:54,314 --> 00:00:55,633
Speaker 5: not worth investing in?

18
00:00:56,754 --> 00:01:00,114
Speaker 4: So today, my friend, we're talking shoes. We are breaking

19
00:01:00,154 --> 00:01:02,554
Speaker 4: down the key styles for the coming season, the shifting

20
00:01:02,714 --> 00:01:05,034
Speaker 4: sneaker trends and what they mean about what we're going

21
00:01:05,114 --> 00:01:08,354
Speaker 4: to be wearing. We're talking what's in, what out, what's emerging,

22
00:01:08,554 --> 00:01:12,354
Speaker 4: basically everything you need to know. So strap in, lace up,

23
00:01:12,514 --> 00:01:15,194
Speaker 4: let's get into it.

24
00:01:14,754 --> 00:01:17,794
Speaker 5: And I've been so excited to talk about sneakers. You're

25
00:01:17,834 --> 00:01:18,994
Speaker 5: definitely a sneakerhead.

26
00:01:19,194 --> 00:01:22,314
Speaker 4: You're a sneaker girly, aren't you. You're across it.

27
00:01:22,594 --> 00:01:25,114
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're so very much. This is my cuff of tea.

28
00:01:25,194 --> 00:01:26,634
Speaker 2: And what sneakers are you wearing today?

29
00:01:26,794 --> 00:01:30,434
Speaker 5: I'm wearing the Solomon xt s's, which we'll talk about

30
00:01:30,834 --> 00:01:32,834
Speaker 5: later on in the app. But I actually have these

31
00:01:32,914 --> 00:01:34,394
Speaker 5: in three colorways, do you?

32
00:01:34,834 --> 00:01:37,754
Speaker 2: Okay? Wow, so you're very much into this sneaker I'm

33
00:01:37,754 --> 00:01:38,434
Speaker 2: going to need you to have.

34
00:01:41,754 --> 00:01:44,314
Speaker 4: You make them so cool, but yeah, we'll get into it.

35
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:46,554
Speaker 3: Okay, what is that on your foot?

36
00:01:47,434 --> 00:01:50,194
Speaker 4: Somehow, like everything you erely Sidney, you managed to pull

37
00:01:50,314 --> 00:01:53,754
Speaker 4: off back eighteen So I saw an Instagram reel from

38
00:01:53,754 --> 00:01:56,354
Speaker 4: a creator I follow that asked the question, are sneakers

39
00:01:56,434 --> 00:02:00,714
Speaker 4: still cool in twenty twenty six or are they? Are

40
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:04,034
Speaker 4: they dead? Basically? And I wanted to ask you just

41
00:02:04,114 --> 00:02:06,554
Speaker 4: straight up. I mean, you're still wearing them, obviously, a

42
00:02:06,634 --> 00:02:08,754
Speaker 4: lot of us are still wearing sneakers. It's not like

43
00:02:08,874 --> 00:02:12,674
Speaker 4: they're over. But like I guess what she's asking the sentiment,

44
00:02:13,154 --> 00:02:16,874
Speaker 4: you know, are they kind of as cool as they

45
00:02:16,914 --> 00:02:18,394
Speaker 4: were for the last few years.

46
00:02:18,434 --> 00:02:19,034
Speaker 2: What do you think.

47
00:02:19,834 --> 00:02:22,634
Speaker 3: As much as I hate to say it, there is

48
00:02:22,954 --> 00:02:23,754
Speaker 3: truth to that.

49
00:02:24,274 --> 00:02:28,314
Speaker 5: So I do find the whole footwear category it has

50
00:02:28,314 --> 00:02:31,754
Speaker 5: a really interesting spot within like the fashion zeitguys. And

51
00:02:31,754 --> 00:02:34,394
Speaker 5: what I mean by that, I think it's quite literally

52
00:02:34,474 --> 00:02:38,514
Speaker 5: the only piece of fashion you wear every single day.

53
00:02:39,154 --> 00:02:39,633
Speaker 3: Underwear.

54
00:02:39,754 --> 00:02:41,994
Speaker 5: You might be wearing a top that doesn't require a bra.

55
00:02:42,114 --> 00:02:44,194
Speaker 5: I'm not wearing a bra today. You know, you have

56
00:02:44,274 --> 00:02:47,234
Speaker 5: to make a fashion choice every day for footwear.

57
00:02:46,914 --> 00:02:49,194
Speaker 4: Unless you live where I live, where people get around

58
00:02:49,194 --> 00:02:52,474
Speaker 4: without shoes on. Because my husband does not wear shoes

59
00:02:52,754 --> 00:02:55,234
Speaker 4: in the supermarket, so that's the only caveat to that.

60
00:02:55,274 --> 00:02:58,554
Speaker 2: But yes, good point. Most people in normal society wear shoes.

61
00:02:59,794 --> 00:03:03,714
Speaker 5: But I love the saying that sneakers don't die, they cycle,

62
00:03:04,154 --> 00:03:06,514
Speaker 5: And that's actually from a book which I'll reference later on.

63
00:03:06,674 --> 00:03:10,514
Speaker 5: But don't die, they cycle. They're almost just put on ice.

64
00:03:10,634 --> 00:03:15,994
Speaker 5: And you're exactly right. There is this oversaturation of sneakers.

65
00:03:15,314 --> 00:03:17,834
Speaker 4: Because we had, if you think about it, going back,

66
00:03:17,874 --> 00:03:21,514
Speaker 4: like we've kind of had a trending sneaker every season,

67
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:24,354
Speaker 4: or more than that, a couple of trending sneakers in

68
00:03:24,394 --> 00:03:26,794
Speaker 4: the zeitgeist for as long as I can remember. I

69
00:03:26,834 --> 00:03:28,954
Speaker 4: was racking my brain and thinking back to when this

70
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,594
Speaker 4: kind of first started for me as a fashion writer.

71
00:03:31,714 --> 00:03:33,554
Speaker 4: And I mean we could go way, way way back,

72
00:03:33,554 --> 00:03:35,594
Speaker 4: but I'm just talking about the last few years when

73
00:03:35,634 --> 00:03:38,154
Speaker 4: on social media it's really reached like a fever pitch.

74
00:03:38,314 --> 00:03:41,074
Speaker 4: Do you remember when Meghan Markle was spotted in those

75
00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:45,794
Speaker 4: major sneakers because they were vegan leather, everyone started.

76
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:46,874
Speaker 3: Wearing age everyone.

77
00:03:47,074 --> 00:03:51,594
Speaker 4: To me, that felt like the first instance of Wow,

78
00:03:51,714 --> 00:03:54,274
Speaker 4: everyone's wearing this sneaker. Everyone wants their hot little hands

79
00:03:54,274 --> 00:03:56,874
Speaker 4: on it. And that was like the trigger point. And

80
00:03:56,914 --> 00:03:58,954
Speaker 4: then it was Okay, well, what's the next one going

81
00:03:58,994 --> 00:04:01,554
Speaker 4: to be? And then we had you know, new balanced

82
00:04:01,594 --> 00:04:03,794
Speaker 4: that it was the dad sneaker, that's exactly right. And

83
00:04:03,874 --> 00:04:08,034
Speaker 4: then it was the yeasy, foamy kind of big white sneaker,

84
00:04:08,074 --> 00:04:10,954
Speaker 4: the puffy sneaker, and then after that it entered added

85
00:04:11,034 --> 00:04:13,794
Speaker 4: us territory, and there's the sambas and there's just been

86
00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:16,993
Speaker 4: sneaker after sneaker after speaker, right, yeah.

87
00:04:16,714 --> 00:04:19,354
Speaker 3: And that is how the sneaker economy works.

88
00:04:19,394 --> 00:04:23,193
Speaker 5: So there is a subculture, there's a cool shoe that

89
00:04:23,313 --> 00:04:26,833
Speaker 5: it cools shoe, and then there's this over consumption, over

90
00:04:27,594 --> 00:04:30,113
Speaker 5: purchasing of this shoe. There's the new Balance nine O

91
00:04:30,193 --> 00:04:33,234
Speaker 5: two o's. I remember purchasing those maybe five years ago.

92
00:04:33,474 --> 00:04:36,593
Speaker 5: I was on wait lists. I spent well over on

93
00:04:36,674 --> 00:04:38,833
Speaker 5: sort of shipping it from the States to get this shoe.

94
00:04:38,914 --> 00:04:41,633
Speaker 5: I was in Platypus down in my rural in Barrel

95
00:04:41,674 --> 00:04:44,033
Speaker 5: the other day and there it was sitting.

96
00:04:43,714 --> 00:04:44,193
Speaker 3: On the shelf.

97
00:04:44,274 --> 00:04:47,113
Speaker 2: So it's just successful.

98
00:04:46,474 --> 00:04:50,193
Speaker 5: That scarcity's gone, and that scarcity market works really well

99
00:04:50,234 --> 00:04:53,073
Speaker 5: in shoes and handbags, as we know. But it's that

100
00:04:53,154 --> 00:04:56,794
Speaker 5: scarcity market when it becomes sort of over produced and

101
00:04:57,113 --> 00:05:00,513
Speaker 5: consumed by the masses, it loses it's cool factor. And

102
00:05:00,553 --> 00:05:03,274
Speaker 5: that's what people love about sneakers, is that cool factor.

103
00:05:03,354 --> 00:05:08,074
Speaker 5: There's whole like ecosystems on the Internet devoted sneaker culture,

104
00:05:08,073 --> 00:05:11,153
Speaker 5: aren't there. There's like hype Beast and high Snabiety and

105
00:05:11,234 --> 00:05:14,394
Speaker 5: all these yeah, like for the sneakerheads, but they are

106
00:05:14,433 --> 00:05:17,834
Speaker 5: also like indicative of broader fashion trends that you know,

107
00:05:18,034 --> 00:05:22,914
Speaker 5: different sneaker trends will signal right, but this isn't a collapse.

108
00:05:22,953 --> 00:05:25,193
Speaker 5: I think that's important to note. It's just a cool

109
00:05:25,234 --> 00:05:29,473
Speaker 5: off period. And historically this is exactly what needs to

110
00:05:29,594 --> 00:05:33,193
Speaker 5: happen for that upswing of sneakers to become cooler ken

111
00:05:33,393 --> 00:05:35,514
Speaker 5: and maybe in like a year or so, a different

112
00:05:35,553 --> 00:05:37,273
Speaker 5: sort of shoe will come out and that will be

113
00:05:37,313 --> 00:05:41,034
Speaker 5: the issue. But like jeans, they're always evergreen. And there

114
00:05:41,034 --> 00:05:43,474
Speaker 5: are definitely some shoes like the Solomons that I'm wearing

115
00:05:43,474 --> 00:05:46,073
Speaker 5: today and they were spotted on Haley Beaver literally two

116
00:05:46,073 --> 00:05:51,034
Speaker 5: weeks ago, so they're still If you're a sneaky they're there.

117
00:05:51,154 --> 00:05:53,514
Speaker 4: Yeah, And if you know, you know things totally, they're

118
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:56,034
Speaker 4: not going anywhere, they're just they're just cooling off. So

119
00:05:56,553 --> 00:05:59,714
Speaker 4: they're still relevant, definitely in a lot of circles. But

120
00:06:00,154 --> 00:06:02,953
Speaker 4: what styles are we wearing now and what's changed? I

121
00:06:02,993 --> 00:06:04,753
Speaker 4: really want to get into this, because, like you said,

122
00:06:04,753 --> 00:06:07,354
Speaker 4: they're definitely still around, but I feel like the look

123
00:06:07,393 --> 00:06:10,393
Speaker 4: of sneakers really shifted recently. The big one for me,

124
00:06:10,474 --> 00:06:14,154
Speaker 4: and this was so controversial when it first landed, like

125
00:06:14,234 --> 00:06:17,914
Speaker 4: across my desk as a fashion editor, and you know,

126
00:06:17,953 --> 00:06:20,354
Speaker 4: we wrote some funny articles about it and we teased it,

127
00:06:20,393 --> 00:06:23,993
Speaker 4: but it's actually like kind of come into the mass

128
00:06:24,034 --> 00:06:28,313
Speaker 4: sort of consciousness. Now is the quote unquote sneak arena.

129
00:06:28,433 --> 00:06:32,794
Speaker 4: So this is the basically the blending of two worlds

130
00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:38,073
Speaker 4: like ballet with technical sneaker sort of construction to create

131
00:06:38,313 --> 00:06:41,393
Speaker 4: a sneaker that's sort of like that low profile, maybe

132
00:06:41,393 --> 00:06:44,873
Speaker 4: a satin finish on it, like a traditional ballet shoe.

133
00:06:45,034 --> 00:06:48,674
Speaker 4: Hence the name sneak Arena. And now we've seen brands

134
00:06:48,753 --> 00:06:51,993
Speaker 4: like I think, sorry, I think the sort of starting

135
00:06:52,034 --> 00:06:55,474
Speaker 4: point for this shoe was really high bra brands like Whales,

136
00:06:55,513 --> 00:06:59,274
Speaker 4: Bonner and Simone Rocha coming out with influential styles.

137
00:06:58,914 --> 00:06:59,753
Speaker 2: That were the runway.

138
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:02,354
Speaker 4: And then that's kind of trickled down to the likes of,

139
00:07:02,433 --> 00:07:05,314
Speaker 4: you know, a Nike in and added us doing shoes.

140
00:07:04,993 --> 00:07:08,873
Speaker 5: Like this, And it's interesting saying that hybrid ness that's

141
00:07:08,953 --> 00:07:11,234
Speaker 5: created for this episode. I was looking back in the

142
00:07:11,314 --> 00:07:14,474
Speaker 5: archives at Copenhagen Fashion Week and street Style, which they

143
00:07:14,474 --> 00:07:16,994
Speaker 5: are really like the early.

144
00:07:16,754 --> 00:07:18,874
Speaker 3: Adopters and the adapters of trends.

145
00:07:19,234 --> 00:07:22,153
Speaker 5: There were so many Mary Jane's, there were so many

146
00:07:22,354 --> 00:07:26,874
Speaker 5: ballerinashes that whole ballet core like a year or two ago,

147
00:07:27,154 --> 00:07:30,074
Speaker 5: and now it's sort of merged in Frankenstein into this

148
00:07:30,594 --> 00:07:35,514
Speaker 5: sneak arena.

149
00:07:33,314 --> 00:07:34,314
Speaker 3: And I love it.

150
00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:37,354
Speaker 5: I love it because you can kind of lean either way,

151
00:07:37,434 --> 00:07:39,314
Speaker 5: like if you're more a Mary Jane, which is a

152
00:07:39,354 --> 00:07:43,554
Speaker 5: little bit more structure Sneakerlike there's one on the market

153
00:07:43,634 --> 00:07:46,794
Speaker 5: called that, it's the Puma Speedcat, so that leans more

154
00:07:46,794 --> 00:07:50,674
Speaker 5: Mary Jane. But there's also the Adidas Taekwondo Ballet sneaker,

155
00:07:50,714 --> 00:07:52,754
Speaker 5: which leans more ballet and is a little bit softer

156
00:07:52,994 --> 00:07:53,594
Speaker 5: and feminine.

157
00:07:53,714 --> 00:07:55,393
Speaker 3: So depending your.

158
00:07:55,274 --> 00:07:58,874
Speaker 5: Style, it sort of is quite a broad category or trend.

159
00:07:59,114 --> 00:08:03,074
Speaker 4: And we're even seeing like the real feminization of sneakers

160
00:08:03,114 --> 00:08:06,434
Speaker 4: with like different brands adding like lace and different color

161
00:08:06,514 --> 00:08:12,074
Speaker 4: like dainty laces and sort of like pale pastal colored Swedes,

162
00:08:12,114 --> 00:08:12,713
Speaker 4: and that kind.

163
00:08:12,594 --> 00:08:15,034
Speaker 5: Of really nice because there is a bit of fatigue

164
00:08:15,074 --> 00:08:17,914
Speaker 5: of that masculine oversized tread.

165
00:08:18,554 --> 00:08:20,994
Speaker 3: Like the new balance it is masculine.

166
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:23,234
Speaker 5: I always do feel I have to, like even today

167
00:08:23,393 --> 00:08:27,714
Speaker 5: with the Solomon shoes, quite masculine, baggy rip jeans, masculine.

168
00:08:27,714 --> 00:08:29,713
Speaker 5: I had to sort of pair it with a more

169
00:08:29,834 --> 00:08:34,473
Speaker 5: softer cami top for Gingham top to sort of like balance.

170
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:34,833
Speaker 3: It out a little bit.

171
00:08:34,874 --> 00:08:38,593
Speaker 5: So it's nice having a softer sneaker esque feminine style

172
00:08:38,634 --> 00:08:39,513
Speaker 5: shoe available.

173
00:08:40,074 --> 00:08:41,994
Speaker 4: So the next one I want to discuss with you,

174
00:08:42,074 --> 00:08:45,874
Speaker 4: it's a really fresh, fresh off the press trend or

175
00:08:45,994 --> 00:08:46,674
Speaker 4: is it a trend?

176
00:08:46,914 --> 00:08:48,194
Speaker 2: I want to ask what you think.

177
00:08:48,634 --> 00:08:52,554
Speaker 4: I recently saw a street style image of Margo Robbie

178
00:08:52,594 --> 00:08:58,114
Speaker 4: wearing Converse high tops with jeans looking very cool. Do

179
00:08:58,154 --> 00:09:00,754
Speaker 4: we think that high tops are due for a return?

180
00:09:00,954 --> 00:09:03,314
Speaker 3: See? This is why I love speaking to you, Tam.

181
00:09:03,554 --> 00:09:06,994
Speaker 5: Being a fashion writer as you are, you're across what

182
00:09:07,234 --> 00:09:10,954
Speaker 5: celebrities are wearing, Grammys, red carpets and whatnot. So when

183
00:09:10,994 --> 00:09:12,794
Speaker 5: I saw this, when you said this, I was like,

184
00:09:12,834 --> 00:09:15,474
Speaker 5: what Converse, I'm not aware of this.

185
00:09:15,594 --> 00:09:17,274
Speaker 3: I went straight to the data.

186
00:09:17,394 --> 00:09:18,034
Speaker 2: Of course you did.

187
00:09:18,194 --> 00:09:21,194
Speaker 4: You're there's always data driven in your research. You like

188
00:09:21,234 --> 00:09:24,114
Speaker 4: to have the backup the facts. Yeah, And I was like,

189
00:09:24,234 --> 00:09:26,674
Speaker 4: is this actually going to be trending? And a CEO

190
00:09:26,754 --> 00:09:32,074
Speaker 4: which aggravates trend data. I looked at Australia alone for the.

191
00:09:32,034 --> 00:09:36,474
Speaker 5: Past two years, the searches for Converse high top had

192
00:09:36,554 --> 00:09:40,474
Speaker 5: two specific peaks. One was in March twenty five and

193
00:09:40,514 --> 00:09:43,074
Speaker 5: then November twenty five. So it's funny, like I was

194
00:09:43,114 --> 00:09:46,794
Speaker 5: wondering when Margole someone has worn this. But it's a

195
00:09:46,834 --> 00:09:49,914
Speaker 5: really great example of all it takes is for a

196
00:09:49,954 --> 00:09:52,994
Speaker 5: celebrity or a celebrity stylist to make a conscious decision

197
00:09:53,154 --> 00:09:55,833
Speaker 5: or maybe it's subconscious about just throwing on a pair

198
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:58,714
Speaker 5: of Converse high tops to really thrust it back into

199
00:09:58,714 --> 00:09:59,434
Speaker 5: the zeitgeist.

200
00:09:59,434 --> 00:10:03,674
Speaker 4: Exactly one outfit can completely change the dial on what

201
00:10:03,714 --> 00:10:06,394
Speaker 4: we're all wearing. And that's how influential someone like a

202
00:10:06,474 --> 00:10:10,234
Speaker 4: Margo or a Hailey Beeber or a Zoe Kravitz can be. Right,

203
00:10:10,274 --> 00:10:13,994
Speaker 4: if Zoe Krabitt steps out in Converse next week and

204
00:10:14,074 --> 00:10:17,354
Speaker 4: doubles down that trend, I bet you all of a sudden,

205
00:10:17,594 --> 00:10:18,314
Speaker 4: everyone's going.

206
00:10:18,314 --> 00:10:19,194
Speaker 2: To be wearing them again.

207
00:10:19,474 --> 00:10:22,394
Speaker 5: Like you were saying, celebrities are a really good temperature check.

208
00:10:22,274 --> 00:10:23,554
Speaker 3: Like even with Solomon's.

209
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:27,474
Speaker 5: Look where I'm from, no one really wears them, but

210
00:10:27,554 --> 00:10:30,754
Speaker 5: if I'm at an event, they are hitting almost that

211
00:10:30,874 --> 00:10:34,754
Speaker 5: oversaturation point. But I sort of checked Hailey Beeber, like

212
00:10:34,754 --> 00:10:37,394
Speaker 5: I said, was wearing them in January, and we had

213
00:10:37,514 --> 00:10:39,554
Speaker 5: Jennifer Lawrence, she had them on in December.

214
00:10:39,714 --> 00:10:40,794
Speaker 3: It was December.

215
00:10:41,154 --> 00:10:44,634
Speaker 5: It's just sensing and temperature checking. Are they still relevant?

216
00:10:45,514 --> 00:10:47,794
Speaker 5: And you do use that as a little bit of

217
00:10:47,834 --> 00:10:48,714
Speaker 5: a check, but yeah.

218
00:10:48,514 --> 00:10:48,914
Speaker 3: That's how.

219
00:10:49,394 --> 00:10:51,713
Speaker 4: But I just want to challenge that for a second.

220
00:10:52,034 --> 00:10:55,234
Speaker 4: Is relevance the main factor here? Because if they're not,

221
00:10:55,634 --> 00:10:57,794
Speaker 4: would you still wear Like that's the question I have,

222
00:10:57,994 --> 00:11:00,954
Speaker 4: like are you wearing Salomons? And I don't mean you yeah,

223
00:11:01,274 --> 00:11:06,514
Speaker 4: are we wearing Salomon's because they're relevant or because we

224
00:11:06,594 --> 00:11:07,034
Speaker 4: love them?

225
00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:11,354
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's adjacent to like the Row girl.

226
00:11:11,474 --> 00:11:14,634
Speaker 5: It's if you know, you know, I think me walking

227
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,034
Speaker 5: down the street in George Street, it could it's any

228
00:11:17,074 --> 00:11:19,474
Speaker 5: old sneaker, but if a girl spots it and she's

229
00:11:19,514 --> 00:11:24,154
Speaker 5: a sneaker fashion girl, it's that sort of a signaling signal,

230
00:11:24,194 --> 00:11:24,954
Speaker 5: that's right.

231
00:11:24,834 --> 00:11:27,194
Speaker 2: It's signaling yeah. Isn't that so interesting?

232
00:11:27,194 --> 00:11:30,154
Speaker 4: Because if you isolate the piece itself, like if my

233
00:11:30,634 --> 00:11:33,474
Speaker 4: you know, if my mum saw those shoes, she.

234
00:11:33,434 --> 00:11:35,594
Speaker 2: Wouldn't get it right. But then, like you.

235
00:11:35,514 --> 00:11:37,914
Speaker 4: Said, if a fashion girl, he clocks the shoes like

236
00:11:37,954 --> 00:11:40,194
Speaker 4: there's an instant recognition that.

237
00:11:40,114 --> 00:11:42,274
Speaker 2: And I think so the Row is a really good example.

238
00:11:42,274 --> 00:11:45,434
Speaker 4: I've written about this in my Newslater before, Like particularly

239
00:11:45,474 --> 00:11:47,474
Speaker 4: if we talk I know we're talking about sneakers right now,

240
00:11:47,514 --> 00:11:49,034
Speaker 4: but if we look at I've spent a lot of

241
00:11:49,034 --> 00:11:53,354
Speaker 4: time writing and musing about their twelve hundred dollar thongs.

242
00:11:53,874 --> 00:11:55,074
Speaker 2: You knew what I was going to say.

243
00:11:55,114 --> 00:11:58,034
Speaker 4: This is hell, I will die on these thongs, these

244
00:11:58,114 --> 00:12:02,674
Speaker 4: rubber thongs that became the number one most searched for

245
00:12:02,794 --> 00:12:06,074
Speaker 4: most in demand accessory of twenty twenty five, a twelve

246
00:12:06,154 --> 00:12:08,834
Speaker 4: hundred dollars pair of that if you take them out

247
00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:11,554
Speaker 4: of the high fashion context in which they exist, off

248
00:12:11,594 --> 00:12:14,514
Speaker 4: the feet of every celebrity who wore them, and every

249
00:12:14,594 --> 00:12:17,474
Speaker 4: weight list that they were on, you know, on all

250
00:12:17,474 --> 00:12:21,914
Speaker 4: the major websites, that stop them and take away the scarcity.

251
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:24,674
Speaker 4: Like you said, they are essentially just a pair of

252
00:12:24,754 --> 00:12:28,953
Speaker 4: rubber flip flops that you could get at lows, you know, absolutely,

253
00:12:29,154 --> 00:12:31,434
Speaker 4: And yes they've been duped. They're still now you can

254
00:12:31,474 --> 00:12:34,914
Speaker 4: get them at any number of high street stores, but

255
00:12:34,954 --> 00:12:37,594
Speaker 4: the value is not there because they're not the row. Yeah,

256
00:12:37,634 --> 00:12:40,154
Speaker 4: but it just it just questions how the value that

257
00:12:40,194 --> 00:12:44,154
Speaker 4: we place on something that has that fashion cachet.

258
00:12:45,194 --> 00:12:47,634
Speaker 5: I guess with any sort of brands buying into that

259
00:12:47,794 --> 00:12:51,394
Speaker 5: luxury market, you are buying into that brand, right Yeah,

260
00:12:51,554 --> 00:12:53,634
Speaker 5: But yeah, I guess there is the relevancy of it.

261
00:12:53,674 --> 00:12:56,474
Speaker 5: But I also find like the practicality of a shoe

262
00:12:56,514 --> 00:12:59,634
Speaker 5: like this, and that actually leads us into the next

263
00:12:59,754 --> 00:13:02,354
Speaker 5: trend in shoe and sneaker that will be seeing and

264
00:13:02,394 --> 00:13:05,874
Speaker 5: it is this continued dominance in the Trail Sneaker. Like

265
00:13:06,274 --> 00:13:09,314
Speaker 5: the Solomon I love the practicality of them, like I

266
00:13:09,394 --> 00:13:12,194
Speaker 5: do wear these shoes to the gym as well as

267
00:13:12,234 --> 00:13:13,074
Speaker 5: out and about today.

268
00:13:13,074 --> 00:13:16,674
Speaker 4: They have a use there. There's a utility there, utility.

269
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:18,914
Speaker 4: I'm like a sneak arena. That's maybe just like a

270
00:13:18,954 --> 00:13:21,274
Speaker 4: fashion shoe. Yeah, unless you're doing ballet in them. I

271
00:13:21,274 --> 00:13:25,474
Speaker 4: don't really know. I can't speak from experience, so you

272
00:13:25,514 --> 00:13:27,674
Speaker 4: can't hike in them, that's essentially what.

273
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:30,714
Speaker 5: There's a bit of charm around that, Like I don't

274
00:13:30,714 --> 00:13:35,354
Speaker 5: think Hailey Beaver's hiking and like with in her Solomon's,

275
00:13:35,354 --> 00:13:37,314
Speaker 5: I don't think Jennifer Lawrence is out there as well,

276
00:13:37,354 --> 00:13:40,434
Speaker 5: like bushwalking. But there's a little bit of a charm

277
00:13:40,474 --> 00:13:42,954
Speaker 5: and creating a bit of like mystery in that story

278
00:13:42,994 --> 00:13:46,314
Speaker 5: about you, I guess like a dressing as a character

279
00:13:46,354 --> 00:13:49,114
Speaker 5: I suppose, which I've always enjoyed feel you on that.

280
00:13:50,234 --> 00:13:54,874
Speaker 5: With the trail Sneaker, it is a very like polarizing shoe.

281
00:13:54,874 --> 00:13:56,354
Speaker 3: You either love it or you hate it.

282
00:13:56,794 --> 00:14:00,514
Speaker 5: And Solomons are definitely sticking around, but there are going

283
00:14:00,594 --> 00:14:04,314
Speaker 5: to be some slight variations in this category, so buckle

284
00:14:04,434 --> 00:14:09,674
Speaker 5: in Tamany, you're at home, because it's definitely not for everyone.

285
00:14:10,354 --> 00:14:14,794
Speaker 5: And Joshua Kate, who's the senior buyer at Hype DC

286
00:14:14,994 --> 00:14:18,634
Speaker 5: in Melbourne, he was saying last week that water shoes

287
00:14:18,714 --> 00:14:23,394
Speaker 5: and approach shoes are an early trend alert for what's

288
00:14:23,434 --> 00:14:24,834
Speaker 5: coming up in twenty twenty.

289
00:14:24,994 --> 00:14:25,714
Speaker 2: What's an approach And.

290
00:14:25,714 --> 00:14:28,394
Speaker 5: I was like, I beg your pardon Google, what's an

291
00:14:28,394 --> 00:14:32,954
Speaker 5: approach shoe? It is quite literally like a rock climbing shoe,

292
00:14:33,194 --> 00:14:34,034
Speaker 5: like a toe shoe.

293
00:14:34,354 --> 00:14:37,074
Speaker 3: Well that's where my head went. That's a variation of it.

294
00:14:37,114 --> 00:14:39,914
Speaker 5: But it doesn't have to be a toe shoe.

295
00:14:41,074 --> 00:14:41,514
Speaker 3: So if he.

296
00:14:41,554 --> 00:14:45,794
Speaker 5: Almost emulates that sneak arena where it's the low profile,

297
00:14:46,034 --> 00:14:49,114
Speaker 5: so it's it's your typical hiking shoe, but it's a

298
00:14:49,114 --> 00:14:52,474
Speaker 5: lower profile, it's less rubber sol it's seen, it's got

299
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:55,034
Speaker 5: that flexibility as if you were sort of rock climbing.

300
00:14:55,514 --> 00:14:57,474
Speaker 3: So if it were streamlined on the foot.

301
00:14:57,674 --> 00:15:01,274
Speaker 4: Okay, maybe it's called an approach shoe because you can

302
00:15:01,394 --> 00:15:02,914
Speaker 4: like approach quietly.

303
00:15:02,954 --> 00:15:06,554
Speaker 3: Potentially something I don't know, that's a funny to look

304
00:15:06,594 --> 00:15:07,714
Speaker 3: at it. Sneaker.

305
00:15:07,794 --> 00:15:11,794
Speaker 5: The name sneaker came from sneaking up playing basketball.

306
00:15:11,234 --> 00:15:13,434
Speaker 2: Stop it. Oh my god, I might be onto.

307
00:15:13,274 --> 00:15:16,234
Speaker 3: Something, so potentially I'm never reaching quietly.

308
00:15:17,674 --> 00:15:19,314
Speaker 4: I love how you said that, like you were reading

309
00:15:19,314 --> 00:15:22,354
Speaker 4: a children's book reaching quietly.

310
00:15:22,994 --> 00:15:25,834
Speaker 5: So, yeah, this is going to be a trend, a

311
00:15:25,994 --> 00:15:28,674
Speaker 5: very again early adoption stage. We're not going to be

312
00:15:28,714 --> 00:15:32,954
Speaker 5: seeing I'm not walking in next episode recording wearing the approaches,

313
00:15:32,994 --> 00:15:34,954
Speaker 5: I don't think, but you never know. I never thought

314
00:15:34,994 --> 00:15:37,114
Speaker 5: I'd be wearing Solomon's. I could be in the I think.

315
00:15:36,994 --> 00:15:38,714
Speaker 2: They might be growing on me the more I look

316
00:15:38,754 --> 00:15:39,194
Speaker 2: at them.

317
00:15:39,274 --> 00:15:41,354
Speaker 3: Do you think you'll buy into the approach?

318
00:15:45,554 --> 00:15:48,914
Speaker 5: But last thing within the trail sneaker if anyone is

319
00:15:48,954 --> 00:15:51,954
Speaker 5: listening and they do like this trend, like myself, but

320
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:54,914
Speaker 5: you know, Solomon's Assex is another example where there's sort

321
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,514
Speaker 5: of a lot of them in the market. If you're

322
00:15:57,514 --> 00:16:00,834
Speaker 5: looking for a different brand, I would suggest Antus. It's

323
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:03,354
Speaker 5: a new brand alert for twenty twenty six. It's one

324
00:16:03,394 --> 00:16:06,274
Speaker 5: of the fastest growing sneaker brands out there, and that's

325
00:16:06,274 --> 00:16:06,834
Speaker 5: from stock.

326
00:16:07,794 --> 00:16:08,714
Speaker 3: It's not a new.

327
00:16:08,594 --> 00:16:11,114
Speaker 5: Brand per se, like launch to market. It's actually been

328
00:16:11,154 --> 00:16:13,634
Speaker 5: around for twenty years. But that's like the Solomons and

329
00:16:13,674 --> 00:16:16,034
Speaker 5: New Balance it's just had that relevancy.

330
00:16:15,794 --> 00:16:19,154
Speaker 2: Rediscovered and yeah, you'd actually really like it. I had

331
00:16:19,154 --> 00:16:19,674
Speaker 2: a look.

332
00:16:20,274 --> 00:16:22,834
Speaker 4: I had a little look at Anta and I love

333
00:16:23,434 --> 00:16:28,674
Speaker 4: so they're like swed brightly colored sneakers, not reinventing the

334
00:16:28,674 --> 00:16:31,394
Speaker 4: wheel in that regard, but they've got a trio.

335
00:16:31,194 --> 00:16:33,874
Speaker 2: Of multi colored laces on the top.

336
00:16:33,914 --> 00:16:37,754
Speaker 4: And I think that speaks to the ability for accessory

337
00:16:37,794 --> 00:16:41,034
Speaker 4: brand potentially to cut through just with a unique design,

338
00:16:41,354 --> 00:16:45,394
Speaker 4: because that's not necessarily doing anything like completely new. It's

339
00:16:45,514 --> 00:16:48,234
Speaker 4: just like something that looks fresh to our eye, and

340
00:16:48,274 --> 00:16:50,634
Speaker 4: it's a new concept that we haven't seen in a while,

341
00:16:50,674 --> 00:16:54,394
Speaker 4: like oh, personalizing your laces or colorful laces look so

342
00:16:54,474 --> 00:16:57,274
Speaker 4: fresh right now. No one's really doing that, and all

343
00:16:57,274 --> 00:16:59,314
Speaker 4: of a sudden, you've got to hit a hit shoe

344
00:16:59,474 --> 00:17:02,314
Speaker 4: except brand. So I love these, I want those.

345
00:17:02,594 --> 00:17:05,194
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, yeah, they're a great brand. If interested, will

346
00:17:05,234 --> 00:17:07,913
Speaker 5: link them in the show notes. All in all, if

347
00:17:07,954 --> 00:17:10,954
Speaker 5: you are interested in diffing your toe into this trend

348
00:17:10,954 --> 00:17:13,274
Speaker 5: of the trail sneaker.

349
00:17:13,474 --> 00:17:14,234
Speaker 3: I would look.

350
00:17:14,354 --> 00:17:18,394
Speaker 5: I would opt out of that big oversized tread footing

351
00:17:18,674 --> 00:17:19,594
Speaker 5: like a new balance.

352
00:17:20,594 --> 00:17:20,874
Speaker 2: Look.

353
00:17:21,354 --> 00:17:23,114
Speaker 3: Do you ever feel like you sometimes just get the

354
00:17:23,154 --> 00:17:24,194
Speaker 3: ick with shoes?

355
00:17:24,234 --> 00:17:26,554
Speaker 5: Like if you see them too much on the streets,

356
00:17:26,594 --> 00:17:28,513
Speaker 5: You're like, oh, I just stop't knowwhare them. It's the

357
00:17:28,554 --> 00:17:31,434
Speaker 5: oversaturation of the new balance and sumbers off for something

358
00:17:31,554 --> 00:17:32,954
Speaker 5: like the ant or a sneaker.

359
00:17:33,114 --> 00:17:35,674
Speaker 4: Sneaker, Ina, yeah, go a little left of the mainstream.

360
00:17:35,834 --> 00:17:38,274
Speaker 4: I think that's probably the answer. Something that I've been

361
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:41,273
Speaker 4: noticing a lot and even writing about lately is the

362
00:17:41,954 --> 00:17:44,114
Speaker 4: it's not so much a trend, more of like a

363
00:17:44,194 --> 00:17:48,634
Speaker 4: styling trick, which is to add one quote unquote wrong element.

364
00:17:48,274 --> 00:17:48,994
Speaker 2: To your outfit.

365
00:17:49,354 --> 00:17:51,834
Speaker 4: So we know about the wrong shoe theory, right, which

366
00:17:51,874 --> 00:17:55,914
Speaker 4: is essentially about adding something that feels visually a bit

367
00:17:55,954 --> 00:17:58,314
Speaker 4: wrong to offset your outfits. So it's not all kind

368
00:17:58,354 --> 00:18:00,754
Speaker 4: of streamlined, and in one that it might kind of

369
00:18:00,794 --> 00:18:05,234
Speaker 4: mix genres. You might apply something that just feels off,

370
00:18:05,354 --> 00:18:07,714
Speaker 4: but in an intentional way. And I think you can

371
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:11,114
Speaker 4: really use sneakers or shoes to apply that concept to

372
00:18:11,154 --> 00:18:13,513
Speaker 4: your look. And that's where like you've even done that

373
00:18:13,554 --> 00:18:15,394
Speaker 4: today with the Salomon, you know, but you've got a

374
00:18:15,434 --> 00:18:19,354
Speaker 4: feminine top on rather than choosing something dainty that might

375
00:18:19,434 --> 00:18:20,594
Speaker 4: work back with the top.

376
00:18:20,794 --> 00:18:22,033
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that.

377
00:18:22,194 --> 00:18:24,994
Speaker 5: I think I do that subconsciously, like the shoe the

378
00:18:25,034 --> 00:18:27,954
Speaker 5: sneaker is the anchor of my outfits. So last night

379
00:18:27,994 --> 00:18:29,834
Speaker 5: I knew I'd be wearing the Solomons, but it was

380
00:18:29,874 --> 00:18:32,874
Speaker 5: this morning, it was that was the focal point of

381
00:18:32,914 --> 00:18:35,434
Speaker 5: my outfit. I grabbed the jeans, I grabbed the top

382
00:18:35,474 --> 00:18:38,034
Speaker 5: out of the dirty washing basket, and ran like it

383
00:18:38,074 --> 00:18:41,074
Speaker 5: wasn't it didn't really matter. The rest felt irrelevant to me.

384
00:18:41,274 --> 00:18:43,394
Speaker 5: He started with the shoe, started with the shoe.

385
00:18:43,714 --> 00:18:45,834
Speaker 4: After the break, we're gonna have a chat about the

386
00:18:45,874 --> 00:18:49,074
Speaker 4: sneaker economy and how that influences everything we wear. And

387
00:18:49,114 --> 00:18:51,994
Speaker 4: then if you're not a sneak ahead like Lucinder, and

388
00:18:52,034 --> 00:18:55,114
Speaker 4: if you're looking for alternatives to wear on your feet

389
00:18:55,354 --> 00:18:57,794
Speaker 4: like me, don't worry. We've got you covered with heaps

390
00:18:57,794 --> 00:19:00,194
Speaker 4: of options for the upcoming autumn winter season.

391
00:19:00,274 --> 00:19:11,314
Speaker 2: So stay tuned for that, all right.

392
00:19:11,434 --> 00:19:13,553
Speaker 5: So I would love us to have a little peek

393
00:19:13,554 --> 00:19:16,714
Speaker 5: inside of the sneaker economy. I won't spend too much

394
00:19:16,714 --> 00:19:19,513
Speaker 5: time on this, just in case all those people's interest,

395
00:19:19,674 --> 00:19:20,434
Speaker 5: but it's quite.

396
00:19:20,394 --> 00:19:21,274
Speaker 2: You get a nerd out.

397
00:19:21,754 --> 00:19:25,474
Speaker 5: Basically, he's so fascinating, And just to sort of sum

398
00:19:25,474 --> 00:19:27,674
Speaker 5: it up with a couple of key points that I

399
00:19:27,754 --> 00:19:31,754
Speaker 5: find incredible and remarkable. There is a two point two

400
00:19:31,954 --> 00:19:33,874
Speaker 5: million dollar pair of sneakers out there.

401
00:19:34,114 --> 00:19:35,994
Speaker 3: Admittedly it is the Michael Air.

402
00:19:35,954 --> 00:19:38,834
Speaker 5: Jordan game shoe, So it's almost a little it's cheating

403
00:19:38,834 --> 00:19:40,954
Speaker 5: in a little way because it's almost a piece of art.

404
00:19:41,034 --> 00:19:43,994
Speaker 3: Right, Someone's got this in a clear box on display.

405
00:19:43,954 --> 00:19:44,874
Speaker 2: Yeah they're not wearing that.

406
00:19:44,954 --> 00:19:46,033
Speaker 3: Yeah they're not wearing that.

407
00:19:46,114 --> 00:19:47,674
Speaker 2: So what is it about this shoe that makes it

408
00:19:47,714 --> 00:19:48,434
Speaker 2: so valuable?

409
00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:52,234
Speaker 5: This particular one was a Michael Jordan Air game shoe

410
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:55,914
Speaker 5: that he wore, right, So, but putting that one aside,

411
00:19:56,394 --> 00:19:58,634
Speaker 5: there are shoes out there which I almost relate a

412
00:19:58,674 --> 00:20:02,273
Speaker 5: little bit too, like the Ermez Burken. So there's a

413
00:20:02,394 --> 00:20:05,154
Speaker 5: Nike Moonshoe out there for four hundred and thirty seven

414
00:20:05,194 --> 00:20:08,554
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. There are some Burkins out there, one off

415
00:20:08,754 --> 00:20:11,314
Speaker 5: the rarity of them that can get to that price.

416
00:20:11,434 --> 00:20:14,194
Speaker 4: And you mean that's at retail. That's not like someone's

417
00:20:14,274 --> 00:20:16,114
Speaker 4: valued it at that. It's like you can still buy

418
00:20:16,114 --> 00:20:18,234
Speaker 4: the sneaker for four hundred thousand dollars.

419
00:20:18,394 --> 00:20:21,553
Speaker 5: So this one is on the stock X for that price.

420
00:20:21,714 --> 00:20:23,754
Speaker 5: In terms of how much a sneaker can get to,

421
00:20:23,954 --> 00:20:26,874
Speaker 5: people are still paying two hundred thousand dollars four pairs

422
00:20:26,874 --> 00:20:29,714
Speaker 5: of shoes with that rarity on the market, and that

423
00:20:29,754 --> 00:20:32,474
Speaker 5: can come down to whether it be a collaboration with

424
00:20:32,514 --> 00:20:35,914
Speaker 5: a particular celebrity or a brand as well. So a

425
00:20:35,954 --> 00:20:39,874
Speaker 5: couple of brands and luxury brands love partnering with sneakers,

426
00:20:40,194 --> 00:20:43,074
Speaker 5: so Gucci and added Us, for example, we know Molly

427
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:45,234
Speaker 5: may is coming out with her own collection of Added

428
00:20:45,234 --> 00:20:48,593
Speaker 5: Our sombers in the what the Marcha or the Latte

429
00:20:49,834 --> 00:20:54,273
Speaker 5: color that's so her coated, Still Sander with the Puma

430
00:20:54,354 --> 00:20:54,954
Speaker 5: King sneaker.

431
00:20:54,994 --> 00:20:57,314
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool. I loved your sand Yeah, I thought

432
00:20:57,354 --> 00:21:00,474
Speaker 2: you've seen. Yeah, they're very big, woolen.

433
00:21:00,594 --> 00:21:04,394
Speaker 5: Cheap and yeah, neutral colors. And then the Nike Jakamu's

434
00:21:04,394 --> 00:21:08,794
Speaker 5: Moon shoe and these sort of brands they become these

435
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:13,834
Speaker 5: shoes become collectible items, and so many famous celebrities collected

436
00:21:13,914 --> 00:21:18,874
Speaker 5: these beautiful shoes. One including and worth noting is Kylie Jenner. Right, really,

437
00:21:18,994 --> 00:21:22,394
Speaker 5: so her collection is valued at approximately five hundred to

438
00:21:22,474 --> 00:21:25,114
Speaker 5: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and she's.

439
00:21:24,914 --> 00:21:26,394
Speaker 2: Got like three pairs of shoes.

440
00:21:26,474 --> 00:21:26,634
Speaker 3: Right.

441
00:21:28,554 --> 00:21:30,754
Speaker 5: The funny thing I find about this because it often

442
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:35,033
Speaker 5: is male collectors, So it's nice seeing a young woman

443
00:21:35,114 --> 00:21:37,554
Speaker 5: collecting shoes. But she's got a whole collection of both

444
00:21:37,634 --> 00:21:39,234
Speaker 5: male and female shoes, which.

445
00:21:39,074 --> 00:21:40,074
Speaker 3: I find really interesting.

446
00:21:40,154 --> 00:21:43,634
Speaker 5: So never any intention of wearing the male sneakers, but

447
00:21:43,714 --> 00:21:45,234
Speaker 5: wants them as a collectible item.

448
00:21:45,514 --> 00:21:46,314
Speaker 2: That is interesting.

449
00:21:46,314 --> 00:21:48,513
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's something she did more in her youth,

450
00:21:48,634 --> 00:21:51,594
Speaker 4: because now I feel like she showcases her like bag

451
00:21:51,674 --> 00:21:55,194
Speaker 4: collection a lot, and you see glimpses into her wardrobe

452
00:21:55,274 --> 00:21:58,194
Speaker 4: on her socials, but I've never seen her if it's

453
00:21:58,234 --> 00:22:00,834
Speaker 4: going to dedicate content to her sneaker collection. Is it

454
00:22:00,874 --> 00:22:03,234
Speaker 4: in some vaults somewhere else? Was that something she started

455
00:22:03,274 --> 00:22:04,994
Speaker 4: because she used to wear like high tops and things

456
00:22:04,994 --> 00:22:08,434
Speaker 4: when she was blue hair when Yeah, that king Kylie era,

457
00:22:08,834 --> 00:22:11,513
Speaker 4: And I wonder if that's like a relic of past Kylie.

458
00:22:11,514 --> 00:22:14,394
Speaker 4: But it's such a good investment, you know, it's a

459
00:22:14,434 --> 00:22:17,554
Speaker 4: financial decision. Or maybe if it's something she's continued more

460
00:22:17,594 --> 00:22:18,793
Speaker 4: into her adulthood.

461
00:22:18,954 --> 00:22:20,994
Speaker 3: And I bet Timothy Shallooney would love that.

462
00:22:21,314 --> 00:22:24,354
Speaker 4: Oh my god, tim are they He just lurks and

463
00:22:24,394 --> 00:22:27,354
Speaker 4: he's like, I'm gonna wear these oscars. Yeah, But it's funny,

464
00:22:27,394 --> 00:22:30,154
Speaker 4: like if they're the same shoes, maybe that doesn't matter,

465
00:22:30,834 --> 00:22:32,474
Speaker 4: but these like but if.

466
00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:35,154
Speaker 3: You're collecting Burkens and you know these people, do.

467
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:38,474
Speaker 5: Your bags like you'd always, I guess have the intention

468
00:22:38,634 --> 00:22:41,273
Speaker 5: of maybe wearing them a one off to some gala

469
00:22:41,354 --> 00:22:44,434
Speaker 5: or something. But to be collecting things at that value

470
00:22:44,714 --> 00:22:47,634
Speaker 5: and no intention of wearing them I find really interesting.

471
00:22:47,754 --> 00:22:49,434
Speaker 5: But yeah, I do find all in all, it's just

472
00:22:49,434 --> 00:22:52,474
Speaker 5: a really interesting look at something that was created out

473
00:22:52,474 --> 00:22:56,554
Speaker 5: of a subculture. If you want more information on sneakers,

474
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:59,273
Speaker 5: there's two really great books that will link in the

475
00:22:59,314 --> 00:23:03,034
Speaker 5: show notes. It's Sneakers, Fashion Gendering, subculture and Sneconomics.

476
00:23:03,034 --> 00:23:03,674
Speaker 3: I'll leave it there.

477
00:23:03,874 --> 00:23:06,034
Speaker 4: I'm really glad you got a chance to talk about

478
00:23:06,034 --> 00:23:07,714
Speaker 4: your sneaker isses.

479
00:23:07,794 --> 00:23:11,514
Speaker 5: But like you said at the top of the episode, Tam,

480
00:23:11,794 --> 00:23:16,474
Speaker 5: there is a slight decline, and I think the overarching

481
00:23:16,714 --> 00:23:19,194
Speaker 5: reason for this is there's so many inroads of new

482
00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:23,674
Speaker 5: varieties of footwear. There's the Mary Jane's, there's flip flops,

483
00:23:23,794 --> 00:23:27,994
Speaker 5: there's mules. So yes, sneakers are on the decline. But

484
00:23:28,194 --> 00:23:31,674
Speaker 5: stock x, which is like an online marketplace for resale,

485
00:23:32,474 --> 00:23:34,834
Speaker 5: it's not just shoes, it's accessories and stuff as well.

486
00:23:34,834 --> 00:23:38,914
Speaker 5: They're twenty twenty five report showed for the second year straight.

487
00:23:39,354 --> 00:23:42,634
Speaker 5: Ugs come in first place and Crocs come in second.

488
00:23:42,634 --> 00:23:45,834
Speaker 5: They hold the top spots for the best selling brands.

489
00:23:47,114 --> 00:23:52,234
Speaker 5: What's rising up the rags is Timberland's Oh interesting.

490
00:23:52,994 --> 00:23:56,074
Speaker 4: These are like shoes for the people, aren't they. There's

491
00:23:56,154 --> 00:24:00,994
Speaker 4: nothing niche about Crocs or Ugs or Timberland that matter

492
00:24:01,154 --> 00:24:04,234
Speaker 4: to me. That just speaks to like what the people

493
00:24:04,274 --> 00:24:05,194
Speaker 4: are really wearing.

494
00:24:05,394 --> 00:24:08,594
Speaker 5: Well, I'd love to hear your thoughts on other shoe options.

495
00:24:08,674 --> 00:24:10,234
Speaker 3: Yes, you're not into sneaking.

496
00:24:10,034 --> 00:24:12,794
Speaker 2: You know what. And I think that makes a lot

497
00:24:12,794 --> 00:24:13,154
Speaker 2: of sense.

498
00:24:13,154 --> 00:24:14,754
Speaker 4: It makes a lot of sense that the market hasn't

499
00:24:14,794 --> 00:24:16,434
Speaker 4: more of an appetite for that right now, because I

500
00:24:16,434 --> 00:24:18,114
Speaker 4: think it's just this is what I see time and

501
00:24:18,114 --> 00:24:22,434
Speaker 4: time again as a fashion writer an editor. It's literally

502
00:24:22,634 --> 00:24:25,554
Speaker 4: just the pendulum swings back and forth, like as soon

503
00:24:25,594 --> 00:24:28,434
Speaker 4: as our eye gets too used to seeing something, we

504
00:24:28,554 --> 00:24:30,714
Speaker 4: go the other way. We go left when it's been

505
00:24:30,794 --> 00:24:33,194
Speaker 4: right and vice versa, and so we've seen too much

506
00:24:33,234 --> 00:24:35,794
Speaker 4: sneaker and now we want our eye wants to see

507
00:24:35,794 --> 00:24:36,354
Speaker 4: something else.

508
00:24:36,354 --> 00:24:37,634
Speaker 2: It's classic. It's a classic.

509
00:24:37,874 --> 00:24:40,513
Speaker 4: It's you know, when there's dopamine dressing and brites, we

510
00:24:40,594 --> 00:24:43,514
Speaker 4: go to neutrals and minimal and then you know, when

511
00:24:43,514 --> 00:24:45,434
Speaker 4: we got too used to what was what was it

512
00:24:45,554 --> 00:24:49,274
Speaker 4: quiet luxury, then we went right back to maximalism. Yeah,

513
00:24:49,834 --> 00:24:52,994
Speaker 4: different things, right, So this is just classic you know,

514
00:24:53,194 --> 00:24:54,394
Speaker 4: group think behavior.

515
00:24:54,434 --> 00:24:55,834
Speaker 2: This is exactly what fashion does.

516
00:24:55,914 --> 00:24:58,354
Speaker 4: So, you know, in terms of alternatives, though, let's talk

517
00:24:58,394 --> 00:25:01,234
Speaker 4: on a really practical level. I'm not really a sneaker

518
00:25:01,274 --> 00:25:04,754
Speaker 4: goal like, I have maybe two pairs in my wardrobe.

519
00:25:05,274 --> 00:25:09,594
Speaker 4: So in terms of alternatives, you know, we're in February now,

520
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:13,114
Speaker 4: we're about to head into autumn, which means we're heading

521
00:25:13,154 --> 00:25:17,634
Speaker 4: into closed in shoe season. So let's talk about the

522
00:25:17,674 --> 00:25:21,914
Speaker 4: styles that are practical but still trending for the season ahead.

523
00:25:22,434 --> 00:25:27,194
Speaker 4: For me, it's ankle boots and boots in general. Like,

524
00:25:27,354 --> 00:25:31,554
Speaker 4: nothing beats a sleek, black leather or swede ankle boot

525
00:25:31,634 --> 00:25:35,954
Speaker 4: in winter in terms of wear ability, especially with the

526
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:38,674
Speaker 4: return of like this sort of cigarette style jean that

527
00:25:38,714 --> 00:25:41,994
Speaker 4: we're seeing, I just think that's such an elegant shoe

528
00:25:42,074 --> 00:25:45,273
Speaker 4: choice and it's such a classic choice that really for

529
00:25:45,354 --> 00:25:46,394
Speaker 4: me never dates.

530
00:25:46,954 --> 00:25:49,914
Speaker 3: So do you wear your ankle boots un tucked into

531
00:25:49,914 --> 00:25:50,394
Speaker 3: the jeans?

532
00:25:50,434 --> 00:25:50,794
Speaker 2: How are you?

533
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:51,714
Speaker 3: No?

534
00:25:51,874 --> 00:25:55,114
Speaker 2: I wear them under Yeah, yeah, I wear an ankle boots.

535
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:59,594
Speaker 4: I ever been an ankle boot gale territory that surprises me.

536
00:25:59,914 --> 00:26:02,474
Speaker 4: So the other boot trend I'm seeing around a bit

537
00:26:02,474 --> 00:26:04,313
Speaker 4: that I think will come into our market is the

538
00:26:04,354 --> 00:26:06,914
Speaker 4: calf length boot. This is a little bit more of

539
00:26:06,954 --> 00:26:10,194
Speaker 4: a challenging silhouette. I'm only saying that because I think

540
00:26:10,594 --> 00:26:13,634
Speaker 4: like the intention of a calf length boot you kind

541
00:26:13,634 --> 00:26:17,794
Speaker 4: of got to sort of tribes here. For me, one

542
00:26:17,834 --> 00:26:21,194
Speaker 4: is like you're wearing them to a festival, right, That's

543
00:26:21,234 --> 00:26:23,674
Speaker 4: what I conjure up with a calf length boot. You

544
00:26:23,714 --> 00:26:25,794
Speaker 4: know that is I think there's a brand called Fry,

545
00:26:26,674 --> 00:26:28,754
Speaker 4: and there's a brand called Hunter, and they do like

546
00:26:28,834 --> 00:26:32,034
Speaker 4: the you know, traditional Willington boot.

547
00:26:32,994 --> 00:26:34,474
Speaker 2: Or you're a real.

548
00:26:34,354 --> 00:26:37,274
Speaker 4: Fashion girl and you're wearing them with like what we're

549
00:26:37,274 --> 00:26:41,274
Speaker 4: calling an awkward length skirt, so that skirt that sort

550
00:26:41,274 --> 00:26:43,914
Speaker 4: of comes to them to the knee, and then you're

551
00:26:43,954 --> 00:26:47,074
Speaker 4: putting the boot, the calf length boot with it to

552
00:26:47,114 --> 00:26:51,634
Speaker 4: sort of intentionally create a quite directional silhouette in your out.

553
00:26:51,874 --> 00:26:53,874
Speaker 2: I love the challenge.

554
00:26:53,874 --> 00:26:54,273
Speaker 3: I love it.

555
00:26:54,594 --> 00:26:56,914
Speaker 5: I actually did a TikTok the other day on trends

556
00:26:56,914 --> 00:27:00,114
Speaker 5: will be seeing in Autumn, and it was the it's

557
00:27:00,154 --> 00:27:03,914
Speaker 5: the jeans almost like jeans or I should say trousers

558
00:27:04,394 --> 00:27:07,714
Speaker 5: with the car the boot over the top like that

559
00:27:07,834 --> 00:27:10,394
Speaker 5: hunter boot, like the gum boot. But then there's like

560
00:27:10,594 --> 00:27:13,033
Speaker 5: you put it above or over the top of the pans.

561
00:27:13,114 --> 00:27:13,793
Speaker 2: Would you do that?

562
00:27:14,034 --> 00:27:14,594
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would.

563
00:27:14,594 --> 00:27:17,714
Speaker 5: Well, it's almost like a country like a shooting esque vibe.

564
00:27:17,914 --> 00:27:19,634
Speaker 2: Yes, it is very talented with.

565
00:27:21,634 --> 00:27:23,754
Speaker 3: An oversized blaser as well, like, yeah.

566
00:27:23,994 --> 00:27:29,394
Speaker 5: It's quite Ralph Florini princesses seeing this a little bit more. Yeah,

567
00:27:29,434 --> 00:27:32,434
Speaker 5: it doesn't have to go so like countryesque. It could

568
00:27:32,434 --> 00:27:35,114
Speaker 5: be like I've seen it still, like something the cement

569
00:27:35,194 --> 00:27:36,513
Speaker 5: in the city top the urban.

570
00:27:36,634 --> 00:27:39,714
Speaker 4: I'm not doing the awkward length skirt, which is, like

571
00:27:39,754 --> 00:27:42,634
Speaker 4: I said, a little bit more challenging. I would do

572
00:27:43,074 --> 00:27:45,954
Speaker 4: a midi skirt over the top of a calf length boot,

573
00:27:46,234 --> 00:27:47,514
Speaker 4: potentially a boot with a bit.

574
00:27:47,434 --> 00:27:48,234
Speaker 2: Of shrug in it.

575
00:27:48,354 --> 00:27:50,394
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like a Swede boot that's got a

576
00:27:50,434 --> 00:27:53,074
Speaker 4: bit of that extra shrug so that you're kind of

577
00:27:53,074 --> 00:27:55,714
Speaker 4: getting the interplay of the different textures. Perhaps you've got

578
00:27:55,714 --> 00:27:58,114
Speaker 4: like a textured skirt or a sheer you know, back

579
00:27:58,154 --> 00:28:00,834
Speaker 4: with or a longer denim skirt or something back with

580
00:28:00,834 --> 00:28:03,554
Speaker 4: a Swede boot. Could be really really cool. Love this,

581
00:28:03,834 --> 00:28:07,074
Speaker 4: and then in terms of other alternative footwear to sneak

582
00:28:07,154 --> 00:28:10,074
Speaker 4: because I still feel like we're in our like what

583
00:28:10,114 --> 00:28:14,234
Speaker 4: I'm calling our fancy flat here, particularly in our market

584
00:28:14,274 --> 00:28:17,033
Speaker 4: in Australia, we really responded to the trend for like

585
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:22,474
Speaker 4: mesh and woven flats. I'm seeing every brand footwear brands,

586
00:28:22,474 --> 00:28:26,714
Speaker 4: but also just like Australian designers offer woven flats and

587
00:28:26,754 --> 00:28:29,914
Speaker 4: I think they're quite a good trans seasonal shoe because

588
00:28:29,914 --> 00:28:32,274
Speaker 4: you still get that coverage on the front of your foot,

589
00:28:32,274 --> 00:28:34,994
Speaker 4: but it's breathable, right for our autumn winter where you

590
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:37,354
Speaker 4: you know, we're not in New York or London, like

591
00:28:37,394 --> 00:28:39,874
Speaker 4: we don't need necessarily to be wearing socks under our

592
00:28:40,394 --> 00:28:43,354
Speaker 4: under our closed in shoes until the dead of winter.

593
00:28:43,674 --> 00:28:46,394
Speaker 5: Do you find that's almostly adjacent to the sticker, like

594
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:49,234
Speaker 5: that is the focal point of an outfit, the maresh

595
00:28:49,314 --> 00:28:49,914
Speaker 5: or like those.

596
00:28:50,034 --> 00:28:52,834
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gives a little point of interest, right. So

597
00:28:52,954 --> 00:28:56,354
Speaker 4: just to recap a few sneaker alternatives coming into the

598
00:28:56,434 --> 00:28:58,514
Speaker 4: new season, we're going to see the return of ankle

599
00:28:58,554 --> 00:29:02,234
Speaker 4: boots and definitely this calf length boot which we love

600
00:29:02,634 --> 00:29:04,714
Speaker 4: that you can definitely still get a lot of wear

601
00:29:04,794 --> 00:29:08,034
Speaker 4: out of ballet flats. I'm seeing healed flat I didn't

602
00:29:08,034 --> 00:29:10,234
Speaker 4: mention healed ballet flats for a trend we're going to

603
00:29:10,314 --> 00:29:14,434
Speaker 4: see and then you're sort of woven and mesh flats

604
00:29:14,474 --> 00:29:17,154
Speaker 4: are going to continue to trend. And they're a really

605
00:29:17,474 --> 00:29:20,514
Speaker 4: really great alternative coming into aunerm winter when we're still

606
00:29:20,554 --> 00:29:22,674
Speaker 4: potentially doing backless shoes and things like that.

607
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:37,194
Speaker 2: So yeah, plenty of plenty on offer. It's very expensive.

608
00:29:37,994 --> 00:29:42,434
Speaker 5: How wondred these percent hearing about the alternatives? I am

609
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:44,114
Speaker 5: excited to hear about your shoe rex?

610
00:29:44,274 --> 00:29:45,954
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what have you got from town? Let's start

611
00:29:45,994 --> 00:29:46,674
Speaker 3: with Bougie.

612
00:29:46,874 --> 00:29:49,914
Speaker 4: Okay, So for Bougie, I'm not sure if you've heard

613
00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:53,874
Speaker 4: of the Spanish brand Alohas No so they Yes, they're

614
00:29:53,834 --> 00:29:57,754
Speaker 4: a Spanish design and made brand and they really offer

615
00:29:58,314 --> 00:30:00,714
Speaker 4: shoes with a point of difference. It's again one of

616
00:30:00,794 --> 00:30:03,474
Speaker 4: those if you know, you know type brands. They have

617
00:30:04,314 --> 00:30:09,394
Speaker 4: really luxe swede sneakers, ballet flat and boots and I

618
00:30:09,434 --> 00:30:11,554
Speaker 4: feel like it's one of those brands that I can

619
00:30:11,594 --> 00:30:14,634
Speaker 4: see through my screen the quality and it's like, yeah,

620
00:30:14,714 --> 00:30:17,674
Speaker 4: it's I wouldn't say it's like a fashion girly kind

621
00:30:17,674 --> 00:30:20,554
Speaker 4: of brand. It's just like they're just gorgeous shoes that

622
00:30:20,594 --> 00:30:24,434
Speaker 4: are worth worth the money. So I love the sneakers.

623
00:30:24,594 --> 00:30:26,754
Speaker 4: If I'm buying sneakers, I'd go to this brand. They're

624
00:30:26,834 --> 00:30:29,474
Speaker 4: really colorful and fun. But my pick for the autumn

625
00:30:29,474 --> 00:30:33,314
Speaker 4: winter season is a boot. It's the amber riffed black

626
00:30:33,394 --> 00:30:37,154
Speaker 4: leather ankle boot. It's this sleek, pointed toe ankle boot

627
00:30:37,434 --> 00:30:39,034
Speaker 4: in black leather, and it's got.

628
00:30:38,834 --> 00:30:39,994
Speaker 2: This small kitten heel.

629
00:30:40,114 --> 00:30:44,394
Speaker 4: Beautiful and it also comes in brown Swede and burgundy Swede.

630
00:30:44,474 --> 00:30:46,874
Speaker 2: Yes, so gorgeous.

631
00:30:46,914 --> 00:30:49,274
Speaker 5: That's still a color coming through, isn't it. Like I

632
00:30:49,554 --> 00:30:52,114
Speaker 5: have I been looking around Burgundy I felt would be

633
00:30:52,194 --> 00:30:54,594
Speaker 5: left in last season, but I'm seeing it still pretty relevant.

634
00:30:54,634 --> 00:30:55,314
Speaker 2: It's still around.

635
00:30:55,354 --> 00:30:58,194
Speaker 4: Definitely is an alternative to that mocker and brown color.

636
00:30:58,234 --> 00:31:00,114
Speaker 4: It still offers that sort of wintry tones.

637
00:31:00,234 --> 00:31:00,554
Speaker 2: Yeah.

638
00:31:00,874 --> 00:31:02,954
Speaker 4: So these shoes are four hundred and eighty dollars, so

639
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:05,994
Speaker 4: they're certainly an investment. But a black leather ankle boot,

640
00:31:06,034 --> 00:31:08,234
Speaker 4: like I said on the record, I think you're gonna

641
00:31:08,234 --> 00:31:09,074
Speaker 4: get years of.

642
00:31:08,994 --> 00:31:11,674
Speaker 3: Wear out of there's beautiful For that price. It's actually

643
00:31:11,674 --> 00:31:13,514
Speaker 3: pretty good for a leather boot. Isn't it.

644
00:31:13,714 --> 00:31:15,154
Speaker 2: I mean they're so well made.

645
00:31:15,234 --> 00:31:18,474
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, what's your bougie?

646
00:31:18,594 --> 00:31:21,034
Speaker 5: Well, my bougie is also a brand. I'm not sure

647
00:31:21,074 --> 00:31:21,714
Speaker 5: if you've heard of.

648
00:31:21,874 --> 00:31:25,594
Speaker 2: It's viveyor I have heard, but I'm not shopped from.

649
00:31:25,954 --> 00:31:27,354
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting.

650
00:31:27,514 --> 00:31:30,314
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's like the cool fashiony girl

651
00:31:30,754 --> 00:31:34,794
Speaker 5: brand just yet, but they create and by looking at

652
00:31:34,794 --> 00:31:36,914
Speaker 5: them as well, I feel like they're really good quality shoes.

653
00:31:36,954 --> 00:31:40,314
Speaker 5: They do a square toe, sneak arena shoe and dua

654
00:31:40,434 --> 00:31:44,114
Speaker 5: Leaf was actually spotted in one very similar, similar brand,

655
00:31:44,154 --> 00:31:46,794
Speaker 5: not quite this one, but if you love the very

656
00:31:46,834 --> 00:31:50,314
Speaker 5: feminine like the satin style square toe actually kind of

657
00:31:50,314 --> 00:31:52,634
Speaker 5: looks like a ballet point, so it's leaning more on

658
00:31:52,674 --> 00:31:54,154
Speaker 5: the ballet shoe.

659
00:31:54,634 --> 00:31:55,194
Speaker 3: And you can.

660
00:31:55,074 --> 00:31:57,434
Speaker 5: Customize them as well, which is really cool. Oh, choose

661
00:31:57,514 --> 00:32:01,354
Speaker 5: the color, So the color of the satin like the

662
00:32:01,434 --> 00:32:03,594
Speaker 5: ballet flat, so it could either be like a cream.

663
00:32:03,634 --> 00:32:05,754
Speaker 5: They've got the burgundy as well, which I really like.

664
00:32:05,954 --> 00:32:08,154
Speaker 5: But you can choose the satur and ribbon so it

665
00:32:08,234 --> 00:32:11,274
Speaker 5: has got that classic ballerina ribbon that you do up

666
00:32:11,314 --> 00:32:13,114
Speaker 5: the calf, and you can choose the color of that

667
00:32:13,194 --> 00:32:13,594
Speaker 5: as well.

668
00:32:13,754 --> 00:32:15,994
Speaker 2: Oh, you can actually thread the ribbon around your calf.

669
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:19,394
Speaker 3: It looks like a ballet shoe. So they're just they're fun.

670
00:32:19,474 --> 00:32:23,554
Speaker 5: It's very ballet core. Yeah, it's trendy. Are they going

671
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:25,434
Speaker 5: to be around in a couple of seasons? Probably not,

672
00:32:25,634 --> 00:32:28,354
Speaker 5: but for the price of it, so it is my bougie.

673
00:32:28,354 --> 00:32:30,554
Speaker 5: But it's two hundred and sixty eight dollars, so it's

674
00:32:30,594 --> 00:32:35,914
Speaker 5: not it's too excessive. But they look really beautiful, well made.

675
00:32:36,354 --> 00:32:38,554
Speaker 5: If you're looking for something different and it's playing in

676
00:32:38,594 --> 00:32:42,874
Speaker 5: that feminine streamline, look, I give these ones a go love. Yeah,

677
00:32:43,194 --> 00:32:44,714
Speaker 5: I think I'll try them in the burgundy.

678
00:32:44,994 --> 00:32:48,674
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So for budget I mentioned earlier, I found

679
00:32:48,754 --> 00:32:51,634
Speaker 4: a great trans seasonal shoe for people who are allergic

680
00:32:51,674 --> 00:32:54,434
Speaker 4: to close in shoes like me. So this is a

681
00:32:54,554 --> 00:32:59,994
Speaker 4: suede and woven mesh backless mule in a torp color,

682
00:33:00,394 --> 00:33:02,754
Speaker 4: which is a color I'm really responding to right now,

683
00:33:03,154 --> 00:33:06,954
Speaker 4: like mushroomy torpie color, which reads to me like wintery.

684
00:33:07,354 --> 00:33:10,074
Speaker 2: Not it's not black, yes, right, or gray.

685
00:33:10,794 --> 00:33:12,914
Speaker 5: Or classic chocolate brown exactly, yeah.

686
00:33:12,714 --> 00:33:14,834
Speaker 2: Which I still love chocolate brown, but sometimes I want

687
00:33:14,834 --> 00:33:16,714
Speaker 2: something a bit lighter on my feet.

688
00:33:16,914 --> 00:33:17,434
Speaker 3: Yeah.

689
00:33:17,674 --> 00:33:20,274
Speaker 4: So this is like a barely their shoe that I

690
00:33:20,314 --> 00:33:22,794
Speaker 4: know i'd wear of a lot that I know i'd

691
00:33:22,874 --> 00:33:26,394
Speaker 4: wear a lot in autumn. And it's a mule shape,

692
00:33:26,434 --> 00:33:29,994
Speaker 4: which is again just a I wear mules constantly, and

693
00:33:30,274 --> 00:33:32,394
Speaker 4: I feel like this shade is also really great back

694
00:33:32,394 --> 00:33:34,994
Speaker 4: with denim, which is just I live in denim in autumn.

695
00:33:35,634 --> 00:33:37,434
Speaker 2: So where is it from?

696
00:33:37,594 --> 00:33:41,114
Speaker 4: So the shoe is from Seed and it's the Mali

697
00:33:41,354 --> 00:33:44,394
Speaker 4: Mesh Mule and it's one hundred and forty nine ninety

698
00:33:44,394 --> 00:33:45,114
Speaker 4: five beautiful.

699
00:33:45,154 --> 00:33:47,034
Speaker 3: I love that. I love twalk as well.

700
00:33:47,154 --> 00:33:49,394
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's beautiful. I'm really going to buy these?

701
00:33:49,554 --> 00:33:51,434
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I actually think I'm really going to buy

702
00:33:51,474 --> 00:33:54,074
Speaker 5: my budget as well, which is a mule. And I

703
00:33:54,154 --> 00:33:56,034
Speaker 5: almost wanted to talk about meals today, but I feel

704
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:58,434
Speaker 5: like that if it's another episode with it itself, because

705
00:33:58,474 --> 00:34:00,514
Speaker 5: I feel like they're really relevant and trendy.

706
00:34:00,554 --> 00:34:00,914
Speaker 2: They are.

707
00:34:00,994 --> 00:34:03,274
Speaker 3: I do love a mule, and there's a hybrid.

708
00:34:03,394 --> 00:34:05,754
Speaker 5: So my budget for one hundred and nineteen dollars is

709
00:34:05,914 --> 00:34:09,234
Speaker 5: a cut and Keith, oh my gosh, mine's talk as well.

710
00:34:09,354 --> 00:34:10,473
Speaker 2: No can I tell you these?

711
00:34:10,594 --> 00:34:12,953
Speaker 4: I just looked at the door at our document and

712
00:34:12,994 --> 00:34:16,834
Speaker 4: I had these as my like backup, no way budget option.

713
00:34:17,274 --> 00:34:20,194
Speaker 4: We're looking at the exact same shoe. It's meant to be.

714
00:34:20,434 --> 00:34:21,034
Speaker 2: I love that.

715
00:34:21,154 --> 00:34:23,073
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, we should get these because it's I love

716
00:34:23,274 --> 00:34:25,873
Speaker 5: Charles and Keith for one, I love talk, we love

717
00:34:26,114 --> 00:34:26,874
Speaker 5: and a mule.

718
00:34:27,514 --> 00:34:30,594
Speaker 3: Mine's a hybrid of a sneaker.

719
00:34:30,474 --> 00:34:34,474
Speaker 5: Esque mule and I yeah, just again, I love a mule,

720
00:34:34,674 --> 00:34:36,514
Speaker 5: but I also love the look of a sneaker, so

721
00:34:36,554 --> 00:34:38,594
Speaker 5: you get both best of both worlds.

722
00:34:38,674 --> 00:34:41,394
Speaker 2: So it's essentially a backless sneaker, which we're.

723
00:34:41,194 --> 00:34:41,954
Speaker 3: Seeing a lot of.

724
00:34:42,234 --> 00:34:44,794
Speaker 5: Yeah, New Balance of a really they've collaborated with Mew

725
00:34:44,834 --> 00:34:45,274
Speaker 5: Mew and.

726
00:34:45,314 --> 00:34:48,114
Speaker 2: Not a really nice Now I would buy those.

727
00:34:48,034 --> 00:34:50,954
Speaker 5: And they look amazing. That's very much an example of

728
00:34:50,994 --> 00:34:53,274
Speaker 5: hot and demand. They're always sailing out. Yeah, that's so

729
00:34:53,394 --> 00:34:55,274
Speaker 5: hard to get. We didn't even talk about Mew Mew.

730
00:34:55,354 --> 00:34:58,354
Speaker 5: I mean that's again, we could devote a whole nother

731
00:34:58,394 --> 00:35:01,913
Speaker 5: half an hour to that. But yeah, they're Newmews, those

732
00:35:01,914 --> 00:35:05,393
Speaker 5: sneakers with the New Balance collaboration, they're constantly selling out

733
00:35:05,394 --> 00:35:06,354
Speaker 5: the relevancy of them.

734
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:08,594
Speaker 3: It's unbelief. Books. Yeah, so many people have them.

735
00:35:08,634 --> 00:35:11,234
Speaker 5: Let's probably give it another six months and then it'll

736
00:35:11,274 --> 00:35:12,714
Speaker 5: probably oh yeah.

737
00:35:12,554 --> 00:35:15,154
Speaker 4: Well, we're seeing a lot of dupes aren't we now, Yeah,

738
00:35:15,554 --> 00:35:17,874
Speaker 4: and these might be in that category, but that's okay.

739
00:35:18,194 --> 00:35:21,674
Speaker 5: And for this style, yeah, it's just non branded. You

740
00:35:21,674 --> 00:35:24,554
Speaker 5: wouldn't necessarily know it's so it just looks like a

741
00:35:24,594 --> 00:35:28,234
Speaker 5: really nice brown Torp Swede sneaker. And then you've got

742
00:35:28,274 --> 00:35:32,354
Speaker 5: that comfortability of and differentiation.

743
00:35:31,714 --> 00:35:33,554
Speaker 3: Of a mule as well, yea, which I really like.

744
00:35:33,714 --> 00:35:36,514
Speaker 5: So those ones are from Charles and Keith for one

745
00:35:36,594 --> 00:35:37,594
Speaker 5: hundred and nineteen dollars.

746
00:35:38,394 --> 00:35:38,913
