Brazilian entrepreneur Caito Maia was a featured speaker on the final day of BFSHOW, the biggest footwear trade show in Latin America, held by the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abicalçados) and organized by NürnbergMesse Brasil. The founder of Chilli Beans was invited to share his business vision, emphasize the importance of brand building in retail, and reveal the next steps for what has become the leading eyewear brand in Brazil—including the launch of an exclusive sneaker collection in partnership with Ramarim, expected to hit stores in July.   

“I was truly grateful and excited to be invited to speak here at BFSHOW. I’m putting all my energy into stepping into the footwear world, because we see a huge opportunity,” said the entrepreneur before taking the stage. “The sneaker we created with Ramarim is not only comfortable but also full of personality—it has that Chilli Beans edge, but it’s easy to wear. I’m really happy with the partnership and proud to have teamed up with someone who truly understands footwear. There’s a gap in the fashion and lifestyle sneaker market that’s not being filled, and that’s exactly what we’re aiming for.” lifestyle que não está sendo preenchida e é isso que queremos fazer”, contou o empresário antes de subir ao palco.

Today, only three of the more than 250 stores from that time are still there. Most of the fashion brands from that era no longer exist. So the message is simple: if we don’t understand how the new generation thinks, we’re done,” said the entrepreneur.

Caito’s talk opened the final day of the BFSHOW Arena, a new feature introduced in this edition of the event, which welcomed major industry figures over its three-day program. Other speakers included Richard Stad, CEO of Aramis—who, like Caito, shared insights on the brand’s repositioning, his leadership journey, and lessons learned in the men’s retail market—Laís Miranda from Steal The Look; Bruna Olivo, co-founder and Creative Director at Lança Perfume; and Priscila Simon, Commercial and Trade Marketing Director for Multibrand Channels at Arezzo&Co.

The space also delivered strategic insights to support retailers in their purchasing decisions. Luana Lanzini and Luana Savadintzky, founders of the Fashion Directions platform, presented key trends in color, must-have products for the Spring/Summer season, and the rise of sport-inspired fashion in retail. The content was designed to enhance visitors’ decision-making when selecting footwear for their stores. The 4th edition of BFSHOW took place from May 19 to 21 at Distrito Anhembi, in São Paulo/Brazil

100% Brazil: Tropical Prints Take Over Flip-Flops and Slides for Next Summer

At BFSHOW, exhibitors are betting big on flip-flops and flats featuring colors and designs that celebrate Brazilian identity

The most national footwear in the world will reinforce its Brazilian identity in the Spring-Summer 2025/2026 season. Tropical prints, bold shades like neon green and flag green, and waterproof materials were among the top trends showcased by exhibitors at the 4th edition of BFSHOW — the biggest footwear tradeshow in Latin America. The event is held by the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abicalçados) and organized by NürnbergMesse Brasil, running through Wednesday (May 21) at Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo/Brazil

Fruits and palm trees, natural weaves, and tortoiseshell prints are some of the highlights from Ipanema for the upcoming season. “In our classic flip-flop models, we’re bringing animal prints, romantic themes with flowers and pets… The demand, especially for the Super Nova line, has been very strong at the trade show. We’re excited and receiving great feedback from clients,” says Daiane Fischer, Ipanema’s Marketing and Communication Manager. Another key bet for the brand is the Comfy Club collection, which focuses on modern comfort through a mix of materials, including injected soles, EVA insoles, and a variety of heel heights.

From the Coast to the Amazon

Tropical Brasil, from Juazeiro do Norte (CE), found inspiration in the world’s largest tropical rainforest for its new collection. “Our Amazon flows down through the country and branches out within Brazil, bringing various elements of Brazilian identity and our originality to the line of round, slim, square-toe flip-flops and clogs,” says Alice Rodrigues, from the Development team at Tropical Brasil and the author of the brand’s original prints.

Another exhibitor betting on prints is Linus, from São Paulo (SP). The brand is known for its anatomical, sustainable sandals inspired by the Birkenstock model. With six years on the market, the company chose BFSHOW to debut its first leopard-print sandal — in addition to its classic color palette, featuring soft pastel shades of yellow, blue, and beige. “We’re a timeless, genderless, and sustainable footwear brand. Launching our first print here is something we’re truly proud of. Being able to present it to our partners during our debut at BFSHOW, alongside brands we admire, is a great joy,” says Matheus de Arruda, Sales Supervisor at Linus, who also highlights that the products are made with 80% renewable-source materials. Concerned about waste, the brand also offers a recycling program that turns used sandals into gym mats, playground impact-absorbing panels, and more.

Focused on men's styles, Itapuã — from Cachoeiro do Itapemirim (ES) — unveiled its Sports Sandal line at BFSHOW. Designed for consumers looking for modern, comfortable flip-flops to wear before and after physical activities, the collection marks a shift from the brand’s flagship line, Urban. “In this collection, unlike our main line, we’re not using leather but alternative materials that can get wet. We’re betting on these sandals for lifestyle moments — whether before hitting the gym or the soccer field, or for a casual outing,” says Tatiana Ritzel, fashion consultant and designer at Itapuã, and partner at Estúdio Compor. She also highlights that the best-selling Gávea line features lightweight EVA flip-flops with anatomical insoles.

      1. 4. Extreme Lightness

      Also developed by Ferracini, Fly technology reduces footwear weight by up to 35%. The enhanced lightness improves the wearing experience and offers greater freedom of movement—ideal for fast-paced routines.

      1. 5. Outdoor-Inspired Design

      Making its debut at BFSHOW, Bradok unveils a men’s line geared toward outdoor adventures, featuring boots and high-tops equipped with GripMaxx technology—a solution developed to deliver enhanced grip on trails and uneven terrain.

      “In this collection, we combine performance and durability through the use of water-repellent leather, waterproof membranes, and sealed seams, ensuring greater traction and stability on rugged surfaces,” explains Flamarion Benate, from Bradok’s marketing team.

      With concepts that blend innovation, style, and functionality, the men’s launches showcased at BFSHOW reaffirm the dynamism of Brazil’s footwear industry—an industry increasingly in tune with the profile of a demanding and trend-savvy consumer.

      Tons cherry, neon, pastel e animal print traduzem as principais tendências de calçados para o Verão 2025

      No primeiro dia da BFSHOW, marcas apresentam os novos rumos da moda que vão dominar os pés na próxima temporada

      Cores marcantes, estilos que valorizam a identidade pessoal e releituras modernas de clássicos indicam que a ousadia e a personalidade feminina serão os grandes destaques nos calçados da Primavera/Verão 2025. As novidades foram apresentadas durante o primeiro dia da BFSHOW, maior feira calçadista da América Latina, promovida pela Abicalçados e organizada pela NürnbergMesse Brasil, que ocorre até o dia 21 de maio, em São Paulo, no Distrito Anhembi.

      Segundo o Guia de Compras da BFSHOW, elaborado em parceria com o bureau Fashion Directions, os tons pastel, cherry, camel e rose nude são apostas certeiras para a estação. No pavilhão, quatro tendências se destacaram entre as coleções apresentadas: o vibrante tom cherry, os intensos neons, os delicados tons pastel e o retorno atualizado do animal print.

      Apresentado como destaque na coleção da Beira Rio, o tom cherry conquista espaço por ser mais profundo que o vermelho tradicional e mais moderno que o bordô. “Ele transmite sofisticação com um toque ousado, sendo a escolha ideal para quem deseja marcar presença com elegância – tanto nos calçados quanto nos acessórios”, afirma Maribel Silva, diretora comercial e de marketing da Beira Rio.

      Nesta edição, a marca apostou em solados de EVA para papetes e focou em sandálias e tênis na cor-desejo da estação. “Mesmo priorizando uma cartela centrada no tom cherry, também pensamos no conforto em diferentes alturas”, complementa Maribel.

      A Petite Jolie investiu no impacto visual das cores neon, trazendo versões ousadas de amarelo-lima e roxo fluorescente. A proposta é evidenciar a energia vibrante e a liberdade de expressão do consumidor atual.

      “São duas cores que contrastam entre si. Então, pensamos em incluir algumas opções para casar com a coleção, principalmente o uso de metais como um charme. O neon é uma aposta forte no verão, e cores vibrantes têm esse chamariz”, detalha Clarissa Lehnen, gerente de criação da Petite Jolie.

      Também da Petite Jolie, os tons pastel seguem em alta na coleção “Gelato” – agora revisitados com acabamentos acetinados e paletas criativas. Amarelo, azul e rosa bebê aparecem em composições que equilibram delicadeza e autenticidade, revelando uma estética suave, mas com muita personalidade.

      “Essa coleção faz uma transição do fim do inverno para o início do verão, então pensamos em trazer ao público bolsas e calçados com uma proposta neutra, porém dinâmica”, pontua Lehnen.

      Já a marca Cravo & Canela trouxe uma releitura sofisticada do animal print, com versões atualizadas de zebra e até estampa de vaca, com novas combinações de cores neutras, entre tons terrosos e preto. Presente em bolsas e calçados, essas estampas reforçam a estética maximalista e mostram como o visual selvagem continua relevante – agora com um toque contemporâneo.

      “A tendência que está em alta aqui e fora do Brasil é o cow print, estampa  de vaca, em inglês. Os clientes estão enlouquecidos com essa tendência, tanto que a trouxemos para o evento. Além disso, temos outras estampas de animal print que aliam luxo e conforto”, diz Ina Rocha, gerente de estilo da Cravo & Canela.

      As apostas da Primavera/Verão revelam um consumidor mais plural, criativo e livre para se expressar. O mercado, atento a esses movimentos, responde com produtos que combinam impacto visual, inovação e identidade.
