A vibrant blue highlights the laces, tongue and stitching of the footwear. The exterior of the shoe is subtly decorated in a translucent wave pattern that flows along the entire shoe.

A rose graphic that represents ball player Derrick Rose along with his last name appear on the tongue of the Adidas D Rose 3 sneakers. Everyone will know whose shoes you're rocking when you step on the scene. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **90s-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create nostalgic and vibrant fashion items inspired by the 90s urban style. - **Vibrant Colorways:** Opportunity to design footwear with loud and eye-catching color combinations. - **Translucent Design Elements:** Opportunity to incorporate translucent materials and patterns in shoe designs for added visual interest. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the market for nostalgic 90s-inspired items, including vibrant sneakers. - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel companies can capitalize on the trend of bold and vibrant colorways in basketball shoes. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Shoe manufacturers can leverage the demand for shoes with translucent design elements to offer unique and visually striking options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bubble-Like Semi-Transparent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-bubble.md) - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md) - [Shaggy Suede Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-x-adidas-forest-hills.md) - [Revived Dynamic Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3.md) - [Hot Pink Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-blend.md) - [Sporty Dynamic Futuristic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vol-9.md) - [Rose-Hued Dad Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-1906r-rose-sugar.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Casual Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrick-star-superstar.md) - [Vibrant Pink Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lotus.md)
