Diemme entered the footwear market awhile ago, but as of late, has been receiving attention for their premium boots and casual/athletic hi and low-top sneakers. These slip-ons follow prior Diemme themes in which snakeskin is incorporated into the upper areas of the shoe. This particular model features an olive leather, jet-black leather trim and an all-white cocaine midsole. Evident stitching wraps around the entire shoe to give it a more casual vibe. At over $600 a pair, these slip-ons are by no means cheap, but for those who love [Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattias-gollin) and are looking for a premium quality upgrade, these Diemme snakeskin slip-ons are the definite way to go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Premium Footwear:** The demand for high-quality and luxurious footwear is growing, creating an opportunity for innovative premium brands like Diemme. - **Snakeskin Fashion:** Snakeskin patterns and textures are becoming a popular trend in the fashion industry, offering opportunities for designers to incorporate exotic materials into their products. - **Casual Luxury:** The combination of casual and luxury elements in fashion is gaining attention, providing an opening for brands to create upscale versions of everyday footwear. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore new materials, designs, and price points to cater to the demand for premium and unique shoes like the Diemme snakeskin slip-ons. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and brands can experiment with incorporating snakeskin patterns and textures into their collections to meet the growing interest in exotic materials. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can tap into the trend of casual luxury by creating high-end versions of everyday fashion items, like premium sneakers and slip-ons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md) - [Minimalist Sock-Like Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker.md) - [Stylish Snakeskin Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/python-sambas.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Zodiac Snakeskin-Finished Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-year-of-the-snake.md) - [Rugged Collaborative Handcrafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movida-92.md) - [Luxury Slip-On Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-mule-loafer.md) - [Dynamic Pointed Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1.md) - [Faux Reptilian Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-moc-premium.md)
