Both uppers embrace "authentic collegiate-inspired colorways and fabrics." The drop is incredibly sporty, Americana-infused and will, without a doubt, capture the attention of contemporary consumers. The Chuck 70 boasts a split-color upper that embraces a palette of navy, purple and orange. The silhouette is informed by basketball aesthetics. The Jack Purcell model, on the other hand, hints at badminton with a 'smile' toe cap. In addition to the footwear, the Footpatrol x Converse collab also launches a collegiate-informed hoodie that boasts a similar aesthetic and features a reversible design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Collegiate-inspired Shoe:** Opportunity for other shoe companies to create collegiate-inspired shoe designs that merge athletic aesthetics. - **Sporty Americana Infused Styles:** Potential for other collaborations to create sporty Americana infused designs, tailored for contemporary consumers. - **Reversible Design:** Opportunity for other clothing brands to create reversible designs for their clothing lines. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Footwear Industry:** Opportunity to incorporate collegiate-inspired designs for athletic shoes in the footwear industry. - **Fashion Industry:** Potential for other clothing collaborations to produce sporty Americana infused apparel for consumers in the fashion industry. - **Sportswear Industry:** Opportunity for companies in the sportswear industry to create reversible-inspired designs for their clothing lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Heritage Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-converse.md) - [Canvas Co-Branded Hi-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2.md) - [Distressed Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-and-converse.md) - [Heritage Loafer Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-purcell-1935.md) - [Resilient Collaboration Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-through-the-ropes.md) - [Spring-Ready Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-and-converse.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Canvas Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-sneaker-4.md) - [Diverse Sporty Apparel Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liverpool-fc.md) - [TV-Inspired Classic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-converse.md)
