<\/p>\n\n\tFrom the sportswear takeover to out-of-this world collaborations and innovative silhouettes, men\u2019s footwear was a definitive highlight during an overall uneven men\u2019s season in Paris. <\/p>\n
\n\tHot shoes of the moment continue to include flip-flops \u2014 which were perfect for the heatwave that took over Paris fashion week \u2014 slip-on styles, oversized boots and even ballet flats. Here, FN takes a look at the top men\u2019s shoe moments from the French capital for spring\/summer 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaint Laurent creative director Anthony Vacarrello told WWD this season that he wanted to \u201ceven the playing field\u201d this season with his new footwear creation \u2014 the clear dress shoe for men<\/a>. The designer said with a grin, \u201cI asked myself: \u2018Why torture women with plastic shoes, but not men?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe designer insisted the work, titled \u201cCloud #07145,\u201d was more than a backdrop, feeding his narrative about restraint as a form of seduction. In an unexpected parallel, long, snout-nosed dress shoes, some transparent, were clouded with perspiration amid a Paris heat wave.<\/p>\n \t\tRick Owens x Adidas\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tBackstage at Rick Owens spring 2027 Ready-to-Wear collection at Paris Fashion Week.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFran Gomez de Villaboa\/WWD<\/p>\n \n\tA decade after their first run together, Rick Owens and Adidas are back \u2014 and at his spring 2027 menswear show, the standout was a black technical running shoe that appeared on at least one model, described by Owens as his first high-performance running silhouette for the brand.<\/p>\n \n\tThe floppy ankle-boot-like style<\/a> was built on a Megaride sole, with its slouched silhouette pulling away from the rigid armor Owens has favored in past seasons. The boot sinches and folds in on itself. White Three Stripes branding stretches across the scrunched black upper, traveling from one side panel to the other.<\/p>\n \n\tOverall, Adidas made huge waves during the week, with an immersive Stan Smith installation, new Pharrell Jellyfish style and more.<\/p>\n \t\tJaden Smith\u2019s Second Christian Louboutin Men\u2019s Collection\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tJaden Smith\u2019s second Christian Louboutin<\/a> men\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Christian Louboutin<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tOne thing is for sure: Christian Louboutin and Jaden Smith know how to get people talking.<\/p>\n \n\tFor his second season at Louboutin, the creative director set out to embrace multiple generations with his sophomore collection as men\u2019s creative director of Christian Louboutin<\/a>. He spiked the presentation with plenty of fantasy, including square-toe lace-ups with all five digits demarcated in relief; a pair of zany red Sasquatch-esque slip-ons, and a black leather quiver filled with leather arrows.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThis is really about me wanting to tell stories<\/a>, and to evoke childlike wonder in people\u2019s minds,\u201d Smith said about the latter accessory. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of characters in some of my favorite movies who do archery, stories like \u2018Robin Hood\u2019 or \u2018Lord of the Rings.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tDior\u2019s Glam Footwear\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tDior\u2019s disco ball boots.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFran Gomez de Villaboa<\/p>\n \n\tThe breakfast call time worked perfectly with Jonathan Anderson\u2019s theme for spring 2027, which offered a looser take on the \u201cdisheveled aristocrat\u201d aesthetic he set as a baseline with his debut Dior men\u2019s show a year ago.<\/p>\n \n\tAnd the glam thread he introduced last season is still fermenting, manifesting here with silver sequined pants, gold python shorts and \u201cdisco ball boots<\/a>\u201d inspired by the black mirror balls he sent as a show invitation. Other footwear highlights included 19th-century embroidery replicated by hand onto a classic suede lace-up, while the woven surface of boots are deliberately disheveled.<\/p>\n \t\tLouis Vuitton\u2019s Skate Shoe\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t@skateboard<\/p>\n \n\tPharrell Williams\u2019 personal favorite footwear this season was both grounded and extravagant: Vuitton\u2019s take on a classic skate shoe, named the Combi, rendered in materials including its signature Monogram canvas and a variety of exotic leathers.<\/p>\n \n\tSince Williams teased his red crocodile leather pair on Instagram over the weekend, the sneaker has generated much chatter online<\/a>, including a comment from the official account of Vans. Williams said the design took him back two decades to his initial collaborations with Vuitton under Marc Jacobs, which prefigured the subsequent convergence of streetwear and luxury menswear. \u201cI still feel like I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m here,\u201d he marveled.<\/p>\n \t\tSacai x Birkenstock\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tThe Birkenstock x Sacai Cassette 75 and Aoyama 107.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Birkenstock<\/p>\n \n\tFor the first time, Sacai creative director Chitose Abe teamed up with Birkenstock<\/a> on a project centered around three key footwear models from the German shoe company, resulting in two new silhouettes.<\/p>\n \n\tThe first merges Birkenstock\u2019s first-ever sandal, the one-strap Madrid from 1963, featured with the Big Buckle, and is merged with its successor, the Arizona sandal launched in 1973 and defined by the brand\u2019s original square buckles. The resulting style is the Aoyama 107, named after Sacai\u2019s iconic store in Tokyo\u2019s sophisticated Aoyama district.
