Putting a trek-ready spin

FVA English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Hi! The sentence below makes little sense to me.
1. What does putting mean?
2. Does trek-ready mean suitable for trek?
3. I don't know what spin is.


Putting a trek-ready spin on their classic Cruz shoe, Givenchy present this Derby shoe in a slick black leather.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Hi! Let me help clarify the sentences for you:

1. "Putting" in this sentence means to add or apply. So, "Putting a trek-ready spin" means to add a certain aspect to make it suitable for trekking.

2. Yes, "trek-ready" means suitable or prepared for trekking, as in a hiking or backpacking trip.

3. "Spin" in this context means a certain interpretation or approach. So, "Putting a trek-ready spin" means to give the shoe a new interpretation or approach that makes it suitable for trekking.

range is inspired by trek themes

The latest range is inspired by trek themes and takes on a sustainable angle.

It is made for the outdoors.

To put a spin on = to alter, to interpret smrh in a beneficial way, see Collins dictionary link below.

So in essence Givenchy reinterpreted (changed) their classic Cruz shoe by adding some element inspired by trek themes, the outdoor lifestyle.
