# Simplistic Cheetah-Print Sneakers These Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Boast a Two-Toned Animal Pattern By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-08-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetahprint-sneakers References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/8/converse-chuck-taylor-all-star-70-first-string-black-egret) & [converse](http://converse.com) Although the [Chuck Taylor All Star 70](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-low-and-hi) model has been around for decades now, [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70s-1) is still thinking up new ways to revitalize it, with its cheetah-print sneakers being one of its most recent iterations. Converse calls the two-toned colorway 'Black/Egret,' and uses the former shade to create uneven spots all over the hue of cream that's beneath it. In order to maintain a minimalist aesthetic, the brand leaves the uppers free of its usual branding, allowing the statement pattern to take it over and be at the focus of the design. The cheetah-print sneakers are finished off with the silhouette's classic rubber soles, which are a clean hue of white with black branding on the heels and a stripe through the middle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal Print Footwear:** New variations of classic shoe designs with animal prints in minimalist style. - **Minimalist Sneaker Design:** Designing sneakers that allow statement prints to become the focal point. - **Revitalizing Classic Sneaker Models:** Continuing to re-imagine and modernize classic, well-known sneaker designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Footwear:** Creating new fashion and footwear products that incorporate modern design and classic styles. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Marketing shoes with unique designs and colors to entice consumers and drive e-commerce sales. - **Textile and Material Production:** Developing innovative printing and dyeing techniques to produce unique and visually striking prints on materials used for footwear products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reptile-Pattern Sleek Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70s-1.md) - [Canvas Co-Branded Hi-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2.md) - [Singer-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you.md) - [TV-Inspired Classic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-converse.md) - [Animal Patterned Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-4.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Canvas Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-sneaker-4.md) - [Distressed Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-and-converse.md) - [Minimalist Sporty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shai-001-clean-slate.md)
