After debuting the fleece-covered Sock Dart, NikeLab is covering even more recognizable silhouettes in the warm material. Released in two colorways, the Air Moc Fleece model is a durable, laceless and [futuristic piece of footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-clogposite). It retains its full-length Air Sole unit and lug-patterned outsole which go along with the shoe's adjustable cord toggle and static collar. Consumers have a choice of the tonal grey iteration which features contrasting touches of black and University Red or the purple version which demonstrates grey accents. With [fleece material atop its slip-on silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puflee-v2), the Air Moc Fleece sneaker is very reminiscent of house slippers. Nike's laid back design makes these trainers the next big comfort shoe that blends fashion with function. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fleece Sneakers:** The trend of using fleece material in footwear provides an opportunity for comfortable and stylish sneakers. - **Laceless Sneakers:** The trend of laceless sneakers allows for easy slip-on functionality and presents opportunities for new design features such as adjustable cord toggles and static collars. - **Comfort Footwear:** The trend of prioritizing comfort in footwear provides an opportunity for brands to design and market products that blend fashion and function, such as the slipper-like Air Moc Fleece sneakers. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Footwear:** The athletic footwear industry can benefit from incorporating comfort and slip-on functionality into their products, as demonstrated by Nike's Air Moc Fleece sneakers. - **Casual Footwear:** The casual footwear industry has a chance to expand their offerings to include comfortable and stylish slip-on sneakers, such as the Air Moc Fleece, as part of their product portfolios. - **Fashion Retail:** The trend of blending fashion with function in footwear allows for fashion retailers to offer comfortable and stylish options, like the Air Moc Fleece sneakers, to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slip-On Metallic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-superfly-moc.md) - [Pink Fuzzy Slip-On Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-mule-1.md) - [Fuzzy Plush Clog Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-calm-mule.md) - [Bulbous Knitted Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-haven.md) - [Summer-Ready Lightweight Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-forward-moc-2-n7.md) - [Faux Reptilian Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-moc-premium.md) - [Warm Puffer-Style Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenclyffe.md) - [Smooth Suede Slip-On Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufus-mule-1.md) - [Plush Winter-Ready Cushioned Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaha-2-frost-moc.md)
