The new version of the traditional shoe sees a minty green tonal makeover in a [snakeskin textured detail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-2) across its uppers. The pastel tone welcomes the warmer weather but the scaly detail gives it an elevated twist. The new rendition is constructed with a blend of neoprene, mesh, and faux snakeskin over most of the layered uppers. The snakeskin is finished in a mint green hue in contrast with the white accenting details that are seen on the laces, nylon lace loops, rubber outsoles, and air-cushioned midsoles. The Igloo Snakeskin Air Max 95s will be releasing online at Nike and at Nike Sportswear retail locations worldwide. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 52% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mint-hued Sneakers:** Opportunity for footwear brands to explore unique colorways and textured details to attract customers. - **Igloo Snakeskin:** Potential for incorporating snakeskin textures into fashion and accessory designs for a luxurious and elevated look. - **Air Max 95:** Opportunity for sneaker companies to revamp classic silhouettes with new materials and color combinations for a fresh and modern appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Potential for footwear brands to experiment with different materials and finishes to create visually striking and trendsetting designs. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory brands to incorporate snakeskin textures and unique colorways into their product offerings to cater to fashion-forward customers. - **Sportswear:** Potential for sportswear brands to collaborate with fashion designers to create unique and stylish sneaker designs that combine performance and fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green-Tinged Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-aura.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Snakeskin Indoor Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-olive-aura.md) - [Retro Stealthy Black Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-big-bubble.md) - [Patterned Chunky Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-sneaker-collaboration.md) - [Soft Brown Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-brown.md) - [Bold Spring-Ready Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivid-purple-colorway.md) - [Tropical-Inspired Sneaker Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-and-teal.md) - [Snakeskin-Textural Soccer Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-2.md)
