General Concept - Spring Summer 2021-22
By the way, textiles lead the demand by volume and diversity of the offer, and by its functionality to the summer season.
At present, the choice of soles for footwear favors lightness, flexibility and functionality, over the aesthetic issue.
The flat feminine lines -flip flops and sandals- opt for thin soles, cut in natural and synthetic materials, or molded and injected.
With a detail to take into account: the preference for square toe-ends.
In models of greater volume or flats -between 2 and 5 cms. high- anatomical insoles are incorporated, and eventually linings, welts and outsoles. The “scatolado” soles kits with ergonomic insoles are common.
Casual and urban sports shoes -ballerina shoes, moccasins, slip-ons and laced-up- have cupsoles, training or pre-finished wedges.
For sneakers, cupsoles are the most required, along with chunky and ugly ones, which simplify volumes and moldings.
The female model incorporates heels of medium height and volume; in addition to the tiny "kitten heels" with no more than 4 cms. high.
Finally, for sports shoes, modular and futuristic designs prevail, with technological additions, such as air chambers and bubbles, or differentiated cushioning zones.
In these times, the application of color tends to relaxed, friendly and natural tones, not devoid of vitality, but with the slogan of avoiding extreme contrasts.
There is evidence of a trend for monochrome products or with discreet combinations, with colors with a similar degree of luminosity.
Within a wide palette of pastels, pinks and light blue heads the proposal of an extensive range of fresh colors, such as mint, salmon, lavender and lemon.
Later on, vital tones such as yellow, coral, orange, pumpkin, magenta and violet are incorporated.
The "nudes" show a long list of light and medium beiges, creamy and earthy, that with the participation of other pigmentations they are transformed into terracotta, olive brown or tan.
The greens usually stand out for their saturated versions, among which the forest green and emerald are distinguished; while on the part of the blue ones, porcelain and indigo are the most representative.
The summer season strongly receives the presence of white, as an expression of freshness, purity, versatility and elegance. Its most recommended use is as a single color or in sober combinations with pastel details.
