# Cupid-Covered Sneakers These Cupid-Print Sneakers Feature Hungry Winged Babies and Fast Food By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-08-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupidprint-sneakers References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2017/8/reebok-insta-pump-fury-cupid) & [en.titolo.ch](https://en.titolo.ch/instapump-fury-la-148072) After [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-4) released a pair of black Instapumps that feature artful illustrations of goldfish all over the uppers, the sportswear giant launched a pair of cupid-print sneakers. Unlike the goldfish sneakers, these Reeboks are mostly white, giving the tanned skin of the tubby winged babies who decorate them some contrast. Although the [romantically themed characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-chucks-in-love) are usually pictured with hearts and a bow and arrow, Reebok's version shows the infants with ice cream, burgers, and other fast food staples. Like other versions of the [Instapump Fury silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-94), the Cupid-print sneakers feature cut-outs all over the uppers, plastic accents on the tongues, and the brand's name and logo in cream-colored embroidery on the backs of the heels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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's Driving This Trend - **Artful Sneakers:** Sportswear companies can explore creating more sneakers with artful illustrations on them. - **Food-themed Footwear:** Shoe brands can capitalize on the popularity of food culture by designing more footwear featuring fast food and other culinary staples. - **Whimsical Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to introduce more whimsical and fun elements into their designs, as exemplified by these Cupid-covered sneakers from Reebok. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands could innovate more with design elements and experiments with cuts and prints, - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can team up with fashion brands to build limited-edition collections inspired by the brands' respective cuisines. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands could explore using more unconventional designs and materials to appeal to consumers looking for something unique and different. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral Adorned Fluorescent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-4.md) - [Valentine's-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-2025-sneakers.md) - [Dramatically Designed Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noir-kei.md) - [Food-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-x-nike-air-force-1.md) - [Laceless Personalized Sneaker Fits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-3.md) - [Pastel-Colored Valentine’s Day Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydude-x-sweethearts-collection.md) - [Sushi-Themed Sneaker Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menulog.md) - [Kiss-Covered Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaquera-x-nike-air-max-dn8.md) - [Romantic Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-heartstep.md)
