The color-block-toe-sneakers is becoming a thing on its own?

Sneaker trends is always changing. Some trends has its own sustainability, such as the clean cut sneakers with minimalistic designs, in least colors as it can be (such as what Common Projects or Ambassadors by Verginia is doing), to sneakers with bold patterns (like what Nike did with their liberty london collections, or with their nike ID upper material options), or even sneakers with artwork / photo print options (like what adidas recently re-introduced). Aside from those, you must be remember how it was when Ronnie Fieg came up with this beautiful 'Salmon Toe' Asics Gel Lyte III? and then when he took that very same idea into his work with Clarks Originals, dubbed the Kildare? (how dumb was Clarks Originals that actually approved this model into production?).



Apparently, these toe color block design has its own thing going-on on the sneaker game. People tried (and still) to apply those unique color blocking thing to their own by customing a pair such as to Nike Roshe Run, New Balance 574, and the most recent are the releases from Adidas, Converse, and Puma.
