# One-of-a-Kind Artisanal Sneakers The Keds x ace&jig Collection Has Four Styles & One Pair Per Size By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-04-25 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-sneaker References: [twitter](https://twitter.com/Keds/status/1120392955364368388) & [keds](https://www.keds.com/en/women-ourcollections-aceandjig/) Keds and ace&jig collaborated on an extremely limited collection of artisanal sneakers that features fabrics that are handwoven by artisans in India with ancient wooden looms. An immense amount of work pours into the creation of ace&jig's slow fashion textiles and Keds is celebrating this with just four footwear designs and only one pair per size of each style. The limited styles include the Anchor Celadon, Anchor Channel, Anchor Slip On Marine and the Anchor Slip On Hope, each of which features a precious textile that's durable for everyday wear. While mainstream sneaker culture sees many people purchasing identical pairs of shoes from brands, the Keds x ace&jig collection challenges this notion, offering truly one-of-a-kind, limited-edition designs. Due to the nature of the collection, the collaborative footwear styles quickly went out of stock. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artisanal Sneakers:** Collaborating with artisanal textile creators to produce one-of-a-kind sneaker designs. - **Limited-edition Collections:** Creating limited-edition footwear collections to challenge mainstream sneaker culture. - **Slow Fashion Textiles:** Using handwoven fabrics created by artisans for durability and uniqueness in sneaker designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Integrating artisanal textile designs into the fashion industry for exclusive sneaker offerings. - **Footwear:** Producing limited-edition sneaker collections to cater to customers seeking unique and exclusive designs. - **Textiles:** Collaborating with sneaker brands to create handmade fabrics for use in one-of-a-kind sneaker collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indigo-Dyed Exclusive Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-kinetic.md) - [Limited-Edition Urban Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uneek-sneaker.md) - [Artistic Naturally Dyed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso.md) - [Sashiko Stitched Intricate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Charm-Accented Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentgablenits-1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Limited Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kype-pro-limited-edition.md) - [Hand Stitched Collab Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1300jp.md) - [Artisanal Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelcumulus.md)
