Since the return of pop diva Rihanna's collaboration with PUMA, the silhouette has become a major focus in the fashion world, and this time Pharrell Williams also unveiled a retro-inspired football boot at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2025 menswear show. The design is clearly a reference to football boots from the 80s and 90s, with premium leather and a clean design to accentuate the texture, while deliberately retaining the "fold-out tongue" design, which is immediately reminiscent of classic football boots such as Nike Tiempo and adidas COPA MUNDIAL. It is worth noting that the sole of this shoe uses the LV logo and Monogram to imitate the "spikes" used in grass football fields, which is a clever and playful design that perfectly modernizes vintage football boots.

Founded in 2013 by Belgian designer Mats Rombaut, concept footwear brand Rombaut made its debut at Paris Fashion Week to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Modeled after PUMA's iconic Levitation, the Levitation retains its classic cut-out heel, with a sole that extends to the cuff of the heel and connects forward to enclose the sides, while forming PUMA's iconic logo on the side and retaining the pattern on the sole. The Rombaut logo is also embellished on the body of the shoe to indicate the identity of the collaboration. The co-branded shoes are laceless, available in low-top and stocking-top versions. While inspired by PUMA's archival-level design, this collaboration looks more like it comes from the future.

Although the major brands have their own differences in shoe design, it is not difficult to find that the thin-soled shoes that are now about to become mainstream are a major focus in the future, so in the football training shoes, racing shoes, jogging shoes, wrestling shoes and other categories, which style of thin-soled sneakers do you think will successfully stand out in this track?
I wonder which pairs of shoe designs you have locked in next?
