# Interchangeable Logo Sneaker Designs New Balance's New 997 Pack Has Interchangeable N Accents By Amy Duong | Published 2019-03-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interchangable-n References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/new-balance-997-interchangeable-logos-release-date-price/) & [thepremierstore](https://thepremierstore.com/products/997-12) New Balance highlights one of its most iconic sneaker silhouettes, the 997 by incorporating an interchangeable N accent as the branding detail on the sides. The structure is the same low-cut design made up of a blend of suede and mesh paneling construction. It is done up in a light gray colorway, which allows the interchanging branding accent to stand out in contrast to the muted base as a pop of color. There are also additional branding details found at the insoles, the heel, and the tongue tab. To round out the entire silhouette, the sneakers incorporate the signature [ENCAP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-blue) midsole technology to provide support and sturdiness with an EVA foam midsole for cushioned elements. The new pack is now available for purchase at retail locations such as Premier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 46% | 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 - **Interchangeable Logo Sneakers:** Opportunity for brands to create customizable and personalized footwear experiences. - **Blend of Suede and Mesh Paneling:** Potential for innovative fabric combinations in the fashion and footwear industries. - **ENCAP Midsole Technology:** Advancements in footwear technology allowing for superior comfort and support. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Footwear:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate customization and personalization into their products. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Demand for innovative fabric combinations in the fashion and footwear industries. - **Footwear Technology:** Opportunity for companies to develop and improve on advanced cushioning and support technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Monochromatic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimbus-cloud-colorway.md) - [Minimal Tonal Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/509-sneaker.md) - [Festive New Year-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/991-sneaker-3.md) - [Premium Leather Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2002r-leather.md) - [Skate-Ready Practical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/574-sneaker-5.md) - [Patent Leather Colorblocking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/550-sneaker-pack.md) - [Collegiate-Inspired Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/550-sneaker-4.md) - [00s-Inspired Metallic Sneaker Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906d.md) - [Monochromatic Suede Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/990v4-made-in-usa.md)
