[Jordan Brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-dust-colorway-1) introduces a new tonal iteration of the signature [Air Jordan 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-colorway) sneaker model with the latest Expression colorway to join the roster. The shoe is made from suede materials throughout the upper for a soft feel and it is then detailed with an abstract design that is influenced by the look of brush strokes.

Branding details can be seen in the form of a black Jumpman logo that is seen on the suede tongue over the forefoot section. More details include the slightly clear netting detail and the iconic clear lace locks. A touch of contrast can be seen added by the [metallic silver trimmings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-low-method-of-make-v3) that are marked on the shark teeth seen by the lateral side of the shoe.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Abstract Design Sneakers:** Developing sneakers with abstract designs inspired by art can appeal to consumers who want unique and creative footwear.
- **Tonal Sneakers:** Creating sneaker collections with tonal colorways can offer both simplicity and aesthetic value to consumers who want basic yet stylish footwear options.
- **Suede Sneakers:** Designing sneakers using suede materials can provide a soft feel and cozy experience for consumers who put emphasis on comfort in their footwear.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion and Apparel:** Exploring abstract designs, tonal colorways and unique materials such as suede for fashion-forward sneakers can boost brand appeal in the competitive fashion and apparel industry.
- **Sporting Goods:** Integrating innovative sneaker features such as clear laces, unique lace locks, and shark tooth details can attract consumers who prioritize both style and performance in their sports shoes.
- **Art and Design:** Collaborating with artists to create unique sneaker designs can cater to consumers who value artist collaborations in their footwear and can elevate the brand's image among art and design enthusiasts.
