# Airy Knit-Constructed Sneakers Nike's New Air Max 270 Flyknit Sneakers Get a Multi-Tonal Makeover By Amy Duong | Published 2018-06-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-270-flyknit References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/6/nike-air-max-270-flyknit-multicolor-red-black-yellow) & [nike](https://nike.com/) Sportswear giant Nike continues to drop new iterations of the iconic Air Max 270 Flyknit sneakers and its latest version sees a multicolor update. The latest version boasts a predominantly black tone, serving as the base upper and has contrasting under weaves of vibrant hues in addition to the eye-catching red heel. Nike's branding details adorn the shoe in the form of a large Swoosh finished in a bright yellow tone on top of the black canvas, which stretches out from the toe area to the midfoot section. Additionally, there is also a bright red Air Max 170 motif found on both the tongue and the midfoot. To finish off the new iteration, there is a hybrid sole unit, an external Air heel bag in black, and a white foam forefoot sole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multicolor Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity for brands to create eye-catching sneakers with vibrant hues and contrasting under weaves. - **Air Knit Construction:** Potential for sportswear companies to innovate by utilizing air knit materials for lightweight and breathable sneakers. - **Hybrid Sole Units:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to combine different sole technologies for enhanced comfort and performance in sneakers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Apparel:** Opportunity for sports apparel companies to capitalize on the trend of multicolor sneaker designs. - **Footwear:** Innovation potential for footwear companies to explore air knit construction for their product lines. - **Athletic Footwear:** Disruptive opportunity for athletic footwear brands to incorporate hybrid sole units for improved functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Knitted Breathable Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture.md) - [Bulbous Dynamic Knitted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-flyknit-venture.md) - [Bold Tonal Gradient Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-6.md) - [Neon Tonal Performance Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphafly-3-sneaker.md) - [Orange-Tinged Bold Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-total-orange.md) - [Sunset-Inspired Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-1.md) - [Bold Gradient Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-colorway.md) - [Bold Tonal Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn8-1.md) - [Classic Technical Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-waffle.md)
