Featuring a rainbow logo on the tongue, the sneakers are reminiscent of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-1) computers brand style from the 90s and could be compared to the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-fog-phone) health shoes made especially for the technology company many years ago. The shoe seen here is crafted with white leather along with a D-ring lacing system that all works together to create a comfortable footwear option that's ready for extended periods of walking. The Concepts x Mephisto 'CCM-96' sneakers are priced at $390 and have also been created alongside a T-shirt that simply reads "Different" to draw personal computing advertising of the past to mind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Brand-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for companies to collaborate and create brand-inspired fashion items that appeal to a wide audience. - **Nostalgia Fashion:** Growing trend in fashion where consumers are looking for nostalgic products that remind them of past experiences or iconic brands. - **Technology-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion companies to tap into the growing trend of technology-inspired fashion products that appeal to tech-savvy consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for fashion companies to collaborate with tech brands to create brand-inspired fashion items that appeal to a wide audience. - **Technology Industry:** Opportunity for tech companies to expand their brand presence by collaborating with fashion brands to create fashion items that appeal to their customer base. - **Retail Industry:** Opportunity for retailers to tap into the growing trend of brand-inspired fashion products and capitalize on the demand for nostalgic or technology-related products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game Console Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstationinspired-sneaker.md) - [Sneaker-Styled Computer Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-master-sneaker-x.md) - [Tech-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-crocs.md) - [Money-Inspired Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000.md) - [Video Game Console Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-snes.md) - [Emoji-Style Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-1.md) - [80s-Inspired Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes.md) - [Bold Sneaker Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-cmf.md) - [Tablet-Made Exclusive Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-on-ipad.md)
