The [platform sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) is a festive translation of the fashion industry's recent athleisure obsession and boasts an all-white upper that is accented with [multicolored and glittering confetti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karintha-sequin). This statement shoe stands on a 3/4" heel which offers comfort to wearers while slightly adding height. The shoe's high-top design makes it versatile for both summer and autumn months, while its [ribbon-like laces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pearls) are a nod to recent runway styles like those presented by singer Rihanna during her Fenty Puma show. These statement sneakers are an adult shoe with a childlike, festive inspiration. Staying true to YRU's loud aesthetic, the accessories combine whimsical details with comfort, making them a functional and affordable take on more expensive runway looks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Festive Athleisure:** Combine the comfort of athleisure with the fun, colorful and celebratory aspect of festive styling - **Raver-inspired Footwear:** Leverage the aesthetic of the rave scene to create bold, eye-catching footwear - **Runway-inspired Sneakers:** Adapt runway fashion trends to create unique and bold sneaker designs ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Find new ways to introduce festive and striking designs that combine style and comfort in footwear - **Athleisure:** Create more fun and playful options for athleisure wear that allow people to express themselves - **Rave Culture:** Incorporate elements from the rave scene into fashion products to attract consumers looking for bold, unique and expressive styles ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boldly Patterned Colorful Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-sr811-platform.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md) - [Functional Festive Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-salomon-xt4k.md) - [Romantic Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-heartstep.md) - [Singer-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you.md) - [Custom Party Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-and-charli-xcx.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Athletic Shoe Adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pearls.md) - [Shiny Fashion-Forward Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-foam.md)
