The two take the iconic Nike cleats that are worn by [Arizona Cardinals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-x-rams) cornerback Byron Murphy Junior, dyeing them in a bright Cardinal Yellow color. Vergara went out to search for a strap to create a similar pair, taking over 20 hours to construct. Murphy spoke about the shoe to [ESPN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jameson-football-flask), stating that “I posted them on my Instagram. They kinda blew up. I gotta get more colors though. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna get some more colors though because the yellow ones are kind of bright, so I don’t know if I can wear those on game day and not get fined.” Image Credit: @seantehdon ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.0/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 12% - 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) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hybrid Cleats:** There is potential for creating hybrid cleats that combine the functionality of traditional sports cleats with the unique design of Crocs. - **Customized Athlete Gear:** Customized sports gear, such as cleats and sneakers, can be marketed to athletes who want to stand out and express their personal style on the field or court. - **Collaborative Design Projects:** Partnerships between artists and companies can lead to unique and vibrant product launches that combine practicality with aesthetic appeal. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports Apparel:** Companies in the sports apparel industry can utilize innovative design collaborations and customization options to offer athletes unique and personalized gear. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore the potential for hybrid designs that combine the functionality of traditional sports shoes with unconventional design elements. - **Visual Arts:** Visual artists can partner with companies to bring their creative vision to products in industries like sports apparel and footwear, creating disruptive and eye-catching designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Football Team-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nfl-x-crocs-collection.md) - [Football League Clog Partnership](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nfl-x-crocs.md) - [Color-Changing Cleats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-changing-cleats.md) - [Street Art-Adorned Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-laboratories-2.md) - [Perforated Shoe Camouflage Colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-sneaker-1.md) - [Bold Bird-Inspired Clog Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duolingo-3.md) - [Colorful Breathable Clog Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pollex-juniper-1.md) - [Athlete-Approved Football Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-boot.md) - [Cheeky Custom Cleat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grinchmas-cleats.md)
