The collection is a limited edition and Aldo's sneaker sublabel Mx teams up with five artists to create the range. There are works seen from New York's Buff Monster, London's INSA, Seoul's So Youn Lee, Montreal's Pony, and Dubai's Dina Saadi. All the artists were given the sneakers as a blank canvas to let their respectively creative journey roam. The results reflect each artist's own city and community, clearly highlighting the appreciative support and inspiration each gathers in their work. The limited sneakers are made up of a breathable mesh material across their uppers and rest on a cushioned heel for comfort. The sneakers are available for purchase online and in store now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 7% | 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 - **Global Street Artist Collaboration:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate with renowned street artists to create unique and limited edition products. - **Artist-designed Footwear Collections:** Demand for artist-designed footwear collections that showcase creativity and individuality. - **Customizable Sneakers:** Emerging trend of customizable sneakers that allow customers to express their unique style and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear brands to tap into the artist-designed footwear trend and collaborate with global street artists. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage the demand for artist-designed collections to create unique and exclusive products. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the trend of customizable sneakers by offering personalized options for customers to design and purchase online. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Artful Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metropole-seoul-derby.md) - [NBA Shoe Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-clarkson.md) - [Festival-Ready Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo.md) - [Netlfix Series Shoe Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-x-aldo.md) - [Artistic Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skechers-x-vexx.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Romantic Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-heartstep.md) - [Event-Ready Spring Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-1.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md)
