The eye-catching sneaker spotted around New York Fashion Week has people talking. Not only has it been taking over New York streets, but also potentially Milan.
Let’s face it, the streets of New York are always a runway. Having New York fashion week brings in even more exciting looks. One thing that can not be missed this time around is an eye catching shoe, such as Martine Rose’s collaboration with Nike.
Photographer Phil Oh has been snapping street styles at Spring 2024 shows in New York and London, and he’ll soon be in Milan and Paris too. He’s the one who has identified the enigmatic shoe that’s dominating, regardless of the aesthetic.
The Shox Mule MR 4 was released last July, retailing at $200. This style combines elements of a football boot with a dress shoe, offering versatility in styling. The shoe features bold color options like neon green and orange, or blue and purple, making it a perfect match for daring fashion statements.

Why is this particular shoe so popular for fashion week? Potentially due to how it can be styled casually or dressy. The shoe has a heel, but does not cut off the ankle like some sneakers do. Giving it a perfect mix of a heel and a sneaker. They also lengthen the legs more than a regular sneaker.
