The unreleased sneakers captivate attention with their strong coloration throughout the entire model. The uppers are constructed from a transparent TPE-infused material in blue and the same hue coats the piping surrounding the ankle and the signature VaporMax branding accent at the heel. The [tonal option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-6) receives some contrasting detail accents in the form of silver tongues, red heel tabs, and black lacing systems and a Swoosh. To complete the piece is the full-length VaporMax sole unit in the same blue color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 37% | 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 - **Translucent Sole Shoes:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate translucent soles in their footwear designs for a modern and captivating aesthetic. - **Bold Coloration in Sneakers:** Disruptive potential for sneaker brands to experiment with bold and eye-catching color palettes to stand out in the market. - **Tpe-infused Materials:** Innovative uses of TPE-infused materials in sneaker construction, offering transparency and unique visual appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear companies to embrace translucent soles and bold coloration trends to differentiate their products in the market. - **Sportswear:** Disruptive opportunity for sportswear brands to leverage TPE-infused materials in their sneaker designs, providing a futuristic and visually appealing look. - **Athletic Fashion:** Trend for athletic fashion brands to incorporate bold coloration and innovative materials like TPE-infusion to create unique and striking sneaker designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Translucent Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-woman-20.md) - [Bolding Layered Breathable Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vomero-5-3.md) - [Neon Tonal Performance Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphafly-3-sneaker.md) - [Neon-Tinged Performance Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-foamposite-one-1.md) - [Chromatic Overlaid Sleek Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-pewter.md) - [Stealthy Blue Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-royal-colorway-2.md) - [Iridescent Summer-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shox-tl-2.md) - [Bold Tonal Gradient Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-6.md) - [Bold Gradient Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-colorway.md)
