# Airborne Piglet Sneakers The Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Hi is Inspired by the Saying 'When Pigs Fly' By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concepts-x-nike-sb-dunk-hi References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2012/11/19/concepts-x-nike-sb-dunk-hi-when-pigs-fly/) & [cncpts](http://www.cncpts.com/) The Concepts x [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-abominable-snowman) SB Dunk Hi shoes are a comical take on the saying "when pigs fly." In fact, that is the designated name for the sneakers. The sneakers are covered in [soft suede](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-panda-1). Light pink suede encroaches all over the upper section of the high-tops, while gray is used for the sneaker's tongue. If you are not seeing the connection of an oinking barn animal by looking at the color palette then pay close attention to the blue laces. Near the front of a shoe is a silver piglet lace lock. And yes, that quirky metal pig has wings attached to it. Whenever someone tells you that they will do something "when pigs fly," just slide on your Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Hi and jump around. Show them that Nike made it a reality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Comical Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity for brands to create sneakers with a humorous twist, inspired by popular sayings or cultural references. - **Animal-themed Sneakers:** Potential to develop footwear featuring animal motifs or elements to attract customers seeking unique and playful designs. - **Colorful Lace Accents:** Chance to incorporate vibrant and unconventional lace designs as a distinctive branding element for sneakers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the demand for unconventional and whimsical sneaker designs by offering unique products to consumers. - **Streetwear:** Streetwear brands can leverage the popularity of unusual sneaker designs to create limited edition releases, generating buzz and fostering brand loyalty. - **Athletic Footwear:** Opportunity for athletic footwear companies to explore unconventional design elements like animal motifs to inject fun and personality into performance sneakers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fuzzy Blue Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-abominable-snowman.md) - [Textural Suede Colorblocked Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-panda-1.md) - [Fuzzy Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hairy-nike-sb-dunk.md) - [Fuzzy Winter-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abominable-snowman-dunk-low.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Bronx-Honoring Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-sb-2.md) - [Olympic-Inspired Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-olympic-safari.md) - [Ugly Christmas Sweater-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-sweater-dunk.md)
