Color-blocking is also back, whether in block stripes on tops or as piping or lining on footwear. The color scheme is mostly motivated by sportswear. Materials, details, styles and everything can be found with the boldest colors such as fire engine red, sunflower yellow, pouty pink and aqua blue that are courageously combined with each other.
