This [city-inspired sneaker collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-city-sneaker) consists of a futuristic, slip-on style that is sculptural in appearance. Each city's designated shoe holds the same shape that features a chunky heel and strap-adorned upper construction. Each is also fitted with a signature fan-like heel accent that acts as a backdrop for embroidered city names. While their shape is the same no matter their city of inspiration, these Emilo Pucci sneakers range in their [color scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-x-camper-pelotissima-collection). While the Dubai release is a black and neutral color palette, Seoul's style is more vibrant, with a mix of yellow orange, and blue elements. Contrasting both styles, Moscow's sneaker is a shoe consisting of sharp blues and reds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **City-specific Sneaker Collections:** Customized sneaker collections with designs inspired by different cities around the world. - **Embroidered Local Themes:** Using stitched motifs of city names or symbols on sneakers to personalize them for various places. - **Innovative Sculptural Construction:** Creating unique and futuristic slip-on style sneakers with a chunky heel and strap-adorned upper construction. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** There is an opportunity for footwear brands to design city-inspired sneakers with unique graphic designs that mix elements of each city’s culture and style. - **Fashion and Travel:** Retail companies can create unique clothing and accessory items inspired by popular travel destinations with fashion collaborations tied to landmarks, culture or even weather patterns unique to those destinations. - **Souvenir Industry:** Souvenir shops and retailers in tourist areas should consider adding customized and embroidered sneakers to their product lines as a trendy way to offer destination-specific merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Country-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-street-tf.md) - [Soccer-Inspired Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p448-monza-sneakers.md) - [Hand-Stitched Italian Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p448-sohosocks.md) - [Peachy Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-scoot-zeros-georgia-peach.md) - [Adorable Plush Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plush-sneaker.md) - [Retro Denim-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palermo-denim.md) - [Venice Beach-Inspired Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venice-beachinspired-f.md) - [TV Show-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-palermo.md) - [Metro Transit-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-right-back.md)
