*Please pardon the un-styled mess why I am rethinking and re-designing my blog!*
Color is everywhere and inspiration can be found in anything. I was recently shopping for new running shoes and was amazed by the color pallets that I saw! So may bright and shiny colors! Hope you enjoy this inspiring color round up. (and yay! Its marathon Monday!!!)
I was blinded by the pinkness of these ultralight newton shoes. The pink and bright yellow give me a very feminine, Easter color vibe.
The color scheme of these Nike shoes are calm, cool and collected. I’d love to use this color scheme in a business setting.
Brooks makes rugged running shoes. I love the bold combination of complementary colors red and green paired with a muted gray/green.
This is the most colorful pair of shoes I saw when I was out shopping! Not really sure where I would use this color scheme, but it definitely gets your attention.
This color scheme screams ‘pay attention to me’. The black/yellow combination i used in construction for this reason.
I love the blue, green. bright yellow combination on these shoes. This color combo screams spring.
These Adidas shoes have a stark – black colorful pallet that shows power and masculinity.
Another bright pair of newton shoes – this is the mens verzion of the of the pink shoe. The color pallet of this shoe screams ‘fast’ to me.
I love the retro purple, black, orange color scheme of these shoes. Reminds me of my favorite backetball team as a kid – The Phoenix Suns.
Last but not least – these shiny orange running shoes scream ‘speed’ and ‘masculinity’.
Leave a comment and let me know what your favorite shoe color scheme is! Thanks for reading!

Lovely post
My sister has some seriously colourful shoes that she wears to work and I often want to grab those colours and put them into a web design.

omg I want those purple new balance shoes.
I’ve got some shiny new running shoes in my closet waiting to emerge. Let’s just hope they get to before it gets to be 90° and Iowa humid…

The Nike Airmax look the best. Some of the colours are cray. Love you’ve picked out the Hex values.

When it comes to shoes design, I’m really inspired by casual tennis shoes. They’re really minimalistic, their colors are perfectly chosen and they look so great!
It’s easy to make a colorful shoe and make it look good. But it’s harder to make a simple shoe and make it look perfect.
