Question

Would it be permissible for a male to wear a shoe that has red stripes on it?

Answer

It is not permissible for men to wear clothing that is completely red in colour. However, if the red is joined with other colours, then wearing such clothing will be permitted. Since the shoe in question has red stripes, we assume that the shoe is of a different colour such as black or white, etc. hence wearing such a shoe (which is black in colour with red stripes for example) will be permissible.
