The bursting of the streetwear bubble has opened a great slope for the sneaker culture, which has been overloaded with iterations and collaborations over the last decade. 2020 is being the definitive comeback of the formal shoe by all the brands that are returning to the catwalk with their interpretations of the shoe, whether it’s in the form of cowboy boots, derby boots, wallabee boots or loafers. We collect the shoes that will step hard during the next phase of footwear. Has the end of sneakers come yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"El<\/p>\n

The fashion industry is updating the footwear codes to make way for elegant and minimal footwear<\/strong> according to Lyst<\/strong>‘s statistics in 2020. That is why the trend of ugly shoes or eccentric sneakers are disappearing from the moodboard of designers or brands. How will the sneaker industry, hypebeasts or sneakerheads react to this?<\/p>\n

It seems that depop is going to be set on fire by re-sales of sneakers that were the product of ‘cop’ at the time, but which have now been put on the back burner. We’ve seen how the presence of sneakers on the catwalks in London<\/strong>, Paris<\/strong> and Milan<\/strong> has diminished to a great extent, that until very recently declared themselves to be the undisputed protagonists.<\/p>\n

\"Fendi<\/p>\n

Leather shoes or cowboy boots have been the big hit since last year. Characters like Lil Nas<\/strong><\/a> and his version ‘i’m gonna take my horse to the Old Town Road’ have raised the hype with their styling, as well as popularized the western style<\/strong> with a very wide range of animal prints.<\/p>\n

From the infinite boots with the Fendi<\/strong><\/a> monogram, to Calvin Klein<\/strong>‘s Dalmatian-print boots and Off-White<\/a> ‘for walking’<\/strong> boots, to Ganni<\/strong>‘s metallic variations, cowboy boots had their great moment for AW19<\/strong>, and today more than ever they still have it.<\/p>\n

\"OFF-WHITE<\/p>\n

Another of the silhouettes that have made their mark on the industry are the Chelsea<\/strong>, bovver boots<\/strong> or stomper boots<\/strong> popularized by Daniel Lee<\/strong><\/a> (Bottega Veneta) and Prada<\/strong>. These highly resistant boots that revisit the look of the skinheads of the 60s and the footwear of the punks of the 80s, monopolized -among others- the AW19<\/strong> catwalks of Burberry<\/strong> and Alexander McQueen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
