The footwear giant's latest model succeeds on all of these fronts by combining two different styles: [classic skate shoes and tennis sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setinn-x-vans). The result is the slim and multi-functional Breakpoint Pro, which has a deep green, black and white colorway to maintain its minimalist look. This colorway was reportedly put together by Zered Bassett, an American professional skateboarder. To ensure optimum comfort for its consumers, Converse includes "a molded heel counter, [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2) Lunarlon insoles and a traction rubber outsole for better grip." The versatile and timeless Breakpoint Pro model can be purchased through Converse's online store for an affordable price. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Sneakers:** Combining two different styles of sneakers to create a new hybrid style. - **Multi-functional Shoes:** Creating shoes that can be used for different purposes and occasions, without sacrificing style and comfort. - **Minimalist Design:** Focusing on simple, streamlined aesthetics to create stylish and practical shoes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Integrating different styles and designs into shoes to create new and innovative products. - **Sports:** Bringing together different sports styles into one shoe, allowing consumers to enjoy various activities without swapping footwear. - **Fashion:** Creating stylish shoes that are versatile and can be worn with different outfits, expanding the shoe market beyond its traditional purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Hybrid Sneaker Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-loafer.md) - [Sneaker Loafer Hybrid Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trekwave-loafer.md) - [Collaborative Textural Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-star-pro-2.md) - [Ultra-Slick Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers.md) - [Classically Elegant Sleek Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allstar-coinloafer.md) - [Canvas Co-Branded Hi-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2.md) - [Modernized Lightweight Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weapon-plts-ox.md) - [Tennis-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setinn-x-vans.md) - [Hybrid Skate Slip-On Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erap-shoe.md)
