The new options go by the names of 'Cream' and 'Multi Suede.' The footwear model has a structure that recalls [retro designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-colorway-1) and it has a sculpted sole unit and unconventionally formed panel accents. The Multi Suede sneakers are complete with a blend of [premium black suede materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3) as a foundation and this is further contrasted by tan nubuck, bright pink leather, gray suede details and black crocodile skin. The heel tab is finished in rubber materials in a clean white tone along with a leather tongue tab to have the bold uppers stand out. Branding details of Pyer Moss are found in the form of a bright yellow stripe. The Cream colorway is constructed from white and cream leather materials across its uppers with a Celtics green branding detail and heel tab done in rubber. As for branding accents, there are touches of red at the tongue and toe that recall Reebok, rounded out with a transparent outsole. Both sneaker options are complete with metallic gold lacing tips. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Mixed-material Sneakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating unconventional formed panel accents for a unique retro design. - **Premium Black Suede Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Using contrasting materials like tan nubuck, bright pink leather, gray suede, and black crocodile skin for a visually striking sneaker design. - **Transparent Outsole:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing transparent outsoles to showcase branding details and add a modern touch to sneaker designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating retro designs and unconventional materials into sneaker collections to attract fashion-forward consumers. - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with sculpted sole units and unique panel accents for sneaker models to stand out in the competitive footwear industry. - **Sportswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with fashion brands to create visually striking sneakers that merge retro aesthetics with modern athletic performance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Stitched Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-94.md) - [Vibrant Runner Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fogbethecloud.md) - [Creamy Tonal Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegasus-wave.md) - [Monochromatic Suede Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3.md) - [Leather Overlapping Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-exploraid.md) - [VIbrant Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colors-be-the-palette.md) - [Bold Collaborative Fashion Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters-collection.md) - [Floral Adorned Fluorescent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-4.md) - [Collaborative Vibrant Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc56-sneaker.md)
