Dolce & Gabbana: The Superking

https://www.forbes.com/sites/josephdeacetis/2018/08/16/dolce-and-gabbana-develops-super-king-sneaker-designed-for-the-new-generation/#3ac24dfa4af9

 Sneakers have long evinced an air of superiority over shoes with respect to American youth. The youth favoured sneakers over the more conservative shoe. The rivalry between shoes and sneakers had given rise to sneaker supremacy. Despite the overwhelming controversy on where and where not one could wear sneakers, the item has continued to dominate menswear throughout the 21st Century. And as a result of the interest generated, it is hands down the undisputed leader of the footwear category on a global scale.

As technology, millennials and a more intense global market all continue to grow at rapid proportions, Dolce & Gabbana took the wise decision and secured their strength of character while adjusting accordingly to a volatile market and consumer.

 These sneakers will be a new millennial must-have with their logo heels, strong colours and bold geometrical sole. The new Dolce&Gabbana SuperKing sneaker features strong colours, geometric sole, and DG logo placement on the heel and laces. Due to be released the first week of January 2019.  As the name suggests, the sneaker had been designed for the new generation who demands not only a more comfortable alternative but rather a design and functionality modified and deemed acceptable for a generation who is just getting started to flex their muscle on the global stage.

While the term is, in fact, a description for a particular lace-up shoe silhouette, it is almost entirely obsolete with the now widely-preferred description “gladiator sandals.” While the brand’s e-commerce site refers to the shoe as the “Slave” sandal, other retailers carrying the same style have chosen to omit the term entirely. Moda Operandi has titled the style the “Pom Pom Wrap Around Sandal.” Saks calls it the “Pom-Pom Leather Lace-Up Sandal.” The collection was inspired by their Italian heritage through the eyes of tourists and jet-set locations like Rome, Venice and Capri. Apparel throughout the collection was embellished with sayings such as “Italia is Love.” Fashion fans were shocked by the choice of name listed ...

Dolce & Gabbana: competitors

http://academic.mintel.com/display/754870/?highlight#hit1 Consumer exposure and presence in more accessible markets appears to influence trust in brands, although Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen standout in terms of differentiation, indicating that brands without high usage can still make their mark. These two brands are likely to be particularly associated with being cutting-edge. Gucci has the highest perception of quality and reputation, which helps to encourage more trust than other brands. Of these brands, DKNY has the strongest perception of offering value, the highest perception of accessibility and the lowest perception of exclusivity, which may also result in a lower proportion of standout. Michael Kors stands out as the favourite brand in the list and has one of the highest levels of recommendation and proportion of excellent responses.
