# Custom-Friendly Duo-Layered Sneakers These Customizable Converse Grant Sizable Creative Freedom By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-06-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-converse References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/6/converse-all-star-cut-line-chuck-tayor-hi) & [converse](https://www.converse.ca/) These customizable [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charli-xcx-by-you) are perhaps one of the bigger DIY projects that the global company offers. Expected to hit retail stores sometime in July, the shoes will be available for consumers to purchase at $75 USD. Converse has made a name for itself through its timeless silhouettes — the [Chuck Taylor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you) All-Star is one of the most recognizable. The minimal aesthetics of the shoe effortlessly lends itself to heavy experimentation and as a result, the brand has one of the richest collaborative portfolios in the industry. In 2019, however, these customizable Converse take it to the next level. Consumers can cut the double-layered canvas body of the shoe and tailor the height to their liking. In addition, the customizable Converse offer a friendly pop of color as well, which owners can choose to embrace or keep hidden. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Customizable Sneakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include personalized footwear options that allow customers to customize the design and fit of their shoes. - **DIY Projects:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include providing consumers with DIY projects where they can customize and personalize products to their liking. - **Collaborative Portfolios:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include collaborating with different artists, designers, and brands to create unique and customizable products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include introducing customizable and personalized features to traditional footwear. - **Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include offering customizable products in retail stores, providing customers with more options for personalization. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include fusing fashion with customization by allowing customers to modify and tailor their clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singer-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you.md) - [Custom Artist-Joined Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charli-xcx-by-you.md) - [Custom Party Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-and-charli-xcx.md) - [Deconstructed Canvas Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adererror.md) - [Canvas Co-Branded Hi-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2.md) - [Singer-Customized Sneaker Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-eilish-x-converse.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) - [Customizable Co-Created Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-maker.md)
