🎨 Color Crush: Summer’s Boldest Shoe Patterns and How to Style Them

Checkerboard is having a full-on moment—and we’re here for it. Whether it’s classic black-and-white or a wild mashup of brights, this pattern gives off instant cool-without-trying energy.

How to style it:
Pair with solid color outfits to let the pattern pop. Think all-black jumpsuits, denim shorts with a white tank, or monochrome sweats. Want a matchy-matchy vibe? Grab a hat or bag in a matching checker pattern for visual rhythm.

Inspired by desert skies and woven textiles, Southwestern prints are bold, earthy, and full of character. Expect turquoise, clay red, mustard, and deep navy in mesmerizing geometric layouts.

How to style it:
Go boho or go home. Think flowy skirts, linen shorts, or a loose tee with embroidered details. Add natural textures like leather bags, wood-beaded jewelry, or a straw hat to play up the vibe.

Shoes with star patterns are the footwear equivalent of a wink. They’re playful, a little rebellious, and full of attitude—especially when paired with unexpected color combos like red on yellow or white on camo blue.

How to style it:
Stars go with literally everything, but we love them with ripped jeans, graphic tees, and denim jackets. Bonus points if your outfit includes metallic accents or reflective sunnies.

Camouflage isn’t just for the woods—it’s for the street, the stage, the sidewalk. Camo is bold, edgy, and surprisingly versatile.

How to style it:
Balance the pattern with modern, neutral layers. Try a white tee, cropped cargo pants, or an oversized utility jacket. Let the shoes add the chaos. Want to level up? Mix in a camo accessory like a ball cap or mini backpack to complete the look.

Why it works:
Camo blends attitude with artistry. Whether you’re drawn to classic neutrals or bold remixes like sky blue or flamingo pink, the pattern commands attention without trying. It’s a look that plays well with casual layers, festival fits, or athleisure moments. And when printed on a sleek silhouette like slip-ons or lace-ups, it delivers streetwear edge with effortless comfort.

From leopard to zebra to snakeskin-inspired swirls, animal prints bring out your inner rebel. They're bold, fearless, and surprisingly versatile—perfect for making a statement without saying a word.

How to style it:
Let your shoes be the star. Pair animal print kicks with neutral outfits—think black jeans, white tees, or tan jumpsuits. Want to elevate the look? Add gold jewelry, a faux leather jacket, or oversized sunglasses for instant drama. Keep it sleek, but let the shoes do the talking.

This summer, don’t play it safe—play it loud.

Your shoes are the exclamation point at the end of your look. So go wild, go bold, and wear your color crush with pride.
