Baum und Etonic: sport meets fashion
Baum und Etonic brings together Baum und Pferdgarten with Etonic in a collaboration centred on athletic footwear. The collection is built around sneakers that hold two distinct references in balance: the direct energy of retro sport and a contemporary, feminine approach to dressing. It is a meeting of familiar footwear codes and an unexpected styling attitude—graphic, dynamic and considered without losing its ease.
The collection centres on fashion sneakers with a clear athletic character. Their retro-inspired direction gives everyday looks a more active note, while the collaboration’s design language keeps the result grounded in a wardrobe-minded point of view.

Across the collaboration, the emphasis remains on the sneaker as a fashion-led foundation. Rather than separating sportswear from the rest of the wardrobe, Baum und Etonic treats athletic footwear as a way to change proportion, attitude and occasion. The result is a versatile design conversation between movement and polish, with a clear connection to both brands.
Retro athletic references, reworked
Sport has long offered a rich visual vocabulary: movement, team graphics, training silhouettes and the purposeful construction of performance footwear. Here, those references are translated through a fashion lens. The sneakers draw on retro athletic cues rather than treating them as costume, creating a precise tension between archival influence and a sharper present-day expression.
That contrast is central to the collaboration. A sporty shoe can interrupt the formality of tailoring, bring a relaxed counterpoint to a polished outfit, or lend a grounded finish to a more expressive silhouette. The effect is not about matching every element. It is about allowing one athletic detail to shift the mood of the whole look.
Sneakers for a considered wardrobe
Pair retro-leaning sneakers with women's trousers to play with proportion and register. A clean trouser silhouette lets the shoe’s sporty character come forward, while a looser shape creates an easy balance of structure and movement. A shirt, knit or tailored layer can take the combination in a more refined direction without losing its casual clarity.
The same footwear creates a deliberate contrast with women's dresses. The meeting of a feminine dress silhouette and an athletic sneaker is a signature kind of opposition: soft against sporty, dressed against off-duty, fluid against grounded. Keep the rest of the outfit simple when the contrast is the point, or add a sharper layer when a more directional composition is wanted.
Complete the sports-inspired look
Baum und Etonic is designed for styling beyond the expected. These sneakers work as an active punctuation mark within an outfit, connecting casual pieces to more composed ones with a confident, playful edge. They suit looks built on colour, texture and proportion as readily as pared-back combinations, because their athletic reference remains clear while the overall expression stays open.
Finishing details can further define the balance. Browse fashion accessories to introduce another layer of personality, whether the direction is minimal, graphic or more eclectic. The strongest combinations retain a sense of intention: sport-informed footwear set against classic wardrobe codes, with enough contrast to make the look feel distinctly Baum und Pferdgarten.
