PUMA GV Snowbucket

Stopped your heart for a moment there, didn’t it?

These athletic boots could have very easily fallen by the wayside with the fashion rejects, but Puma’s careful design brought it from plain ol’ snow boots to eye-drawing, buyer-coveting, worthy-to-mention-to-your-friends levels.

These GV Snowbuckets are an interpretation of Puma’s classic GV shoes. You can clearly see that they just basically added the puffy shaft to the sneaker:

But with Puma, design is everything, so the pink on brown tones, the nylon with patent leather combination, and the color-coordinated stripes look like the best thing to happen to athletic snow boots. Yet another fashionable footwear hit from Puma.

If anyone recalls, Puma was just a regular sportswear brand not too long ago. They were constantly being beaten out by other bigger companies like Nike. But after deciding to shift the entire Puma brand out of sports and into fashion and lifestyle, Puma was seen on the feet of the hippest fashion frontrunners and slowly started becoming more than just sportswear.

Puma shoes are now one of the most sought-after, hard-to-find sneakers that people line up for months to get a hold of. And we think that that’s going to happen for these Puma GV Snowbuckets.

We perused trend reports from Vogue, Style.com, and even from increasingly influential self-styled fashion blogs to compile this list of top 10 fashion trends for 2010.

Here are the most forecasted fashion trends, as interpreted in our favorite kind of footwear – boots.

1. Digi Prints

Space prints, digitized prints, geometric prints – we saw a lot of these on the runway. Digi prints on boots are not for the faint-hearted; they’re very attention-grabbing. At the very least, you can start conversations with them.

Harajuku Lovers Attica Boot, $119.99 at Heels.com

2. Nude Colors

Sand, beige, and khaki are marking neutral ground this 2010 and boots don’t mind being on their side.

UGG Classic Tall, $180.00 at Zappos.com

3. Military

Possibly the easiest trend to adopt for boots. Military + boots go together like peanut butter and jelly, and we’re liking how the trend is to wear them really scruffed up this 2010.

Jeffrey Campbell All Lace Up Combat Boots, $220.00 at Shopbop.com

4. Sportswear

Does this mean that it’s finally acceptable to wear workout clothes in other places besides the gym? Regardless, athletic has always been a good look on boots.

PUMA Zimno Mid, $99.95 at Shoebuy.com

5. Leopard Print

The leopard print isn’t just for cougars anymore. Just make sure to pick a lighter, fun shade to keep it looking young and fresh.

N.Y.L.A. Mariah Heel, on sale $116.99 at Heels.com

6. Bright Colors

Turquoise has been declared as color of the year, but don’t beat out other bright colors yet. Yellows, blues, and greens are still very much in-demand, even (or especially) when mixed altogether.

Blowfish Hobbit, $55.99 on Zappos.com

7. Cutouts

It used to be we only saw cutouts on sides of dresses. Now they’re cutting out the sides of our shoes. We don’t mind the extra ventilation when they look this good.

Boutique 9 Rashelle Slashed Suede Booties, $180.00 at Shopbop.com

8. Ruffles

This super sweet embellishment tones down boots that have been acting tough all throughout 2009. It’s time to walk on the softer side.

Zigi Ruffle, $150.00 at Shoes.com

9. Tribal

Ethnic pattens, vibrant colors, earthy tones – a strong tribal print on a boot could be overpowering, but when it’s used like on these boots from Born, they look really warm and natural.

Born Jolie, $190.00 at Zappos.com

10. Studs

Aah studs. We devoted an entire post just on stud boots, but if you can’t get enough of them like us, then here’s yet another gorgeous studded boot.
