Why are men's & women's shoe colors different? "What do you think of the colors?" I was sitting in a focus group for runners, and we looked at shoes scattered on the table. What I saw dismayed me: Bright colors and fluro for the men's shoes Pastels, muted tones, and white for the women I run exclusively in bright fluro bike shorts (a true child of the 80s 😎 ). Every time I switch to a 'cool' looking shoe I wind up injured. So I plod on with my big, gray, chunky, injury-prevention shoes. But I CRAVE color! I didn't want to be 'that person' in the focus group so I waited until everyone had spoken before I took a deep breath and said..."I have to be honest, I really want the men's shoes. The colors are better." To my surprise, the other women nodded in agreement. Another woman spoke about 'saving' their bright shoes for race days. There was general agreement that more, brighter, saturation was more desirable. And then someone asked: why do we split shoe colors by gender? A good question. A more beautiful question. A question I haven't been able to stop thinking about. Maybe the the mass market data shows that women want pastels? Maybe bright fluros would turn women away? But what if it didn't? What if testing what the mass market has always done will just yield more of the same? Before the 1970s...the mass market didn't really run for fun. Until a US law student won an Olympic Marathon and captured people's imagination. Until a few guys started selling shoes out of their car at track meets. Until someone asked a better question. The mass market doesn't reflect what will be. Only what has been.

I’m a Runner and Running shoe designer... I hear you and have heard this question 1000 times. Let me tell you. A: Because design is for the aggregate, not the individual. You may prefer bright colors but you are one person. I personally usually prefer the women’s colors when most men’s colorways are dark, black or neutral. What designers make, what PLMs brief, what sales sells and what buyers buy is what consumers get and is always a guess. When footwear is created 1-2 years ahead of the market we all guess what most will want. There’s no way to make everyone happy but when you realize minimum order quantities, number of SKUs and the limited amount of colors that go to market it’s impossible to serve everyone’s preference. It’s also important to understand that typically colors are not made per gender but the shoes are (fit, sizing, etc.). Some are unisex but most aren’t. That said colorway directions are changing. Most recent Nike Vaporfly for men are florescent pink. Hoka has bright colors for women. New Balance is doing muted greys for both genders. I just finished designing a collection of comorways for SS25. Does it have every colorway I would personally wear? No. But that’s not design. I’m not designing for me.
