When is the last time you unzipped anything but your fly or jacket? [Shoes with zippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sndr) are nothing new, but designer shoes like the Juun J. and KIROIC collection are a whole other story. These shoes go from hangout to night out with just one zip. I can definitely dig that. Check out the gallery if you still don’t dig what I’m sprinklin’. These shoes will be on my feet one way or another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Zippered Shoes:** The trend of zippered shoes offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the footwear industry by providing convenient and versatile shoe options. - **Designer Collaborations:** The trend of designer collaborations in footwear presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry through the creation of unique and stylish shoe collections. - **Versatile Footwear:** The trend of versatile footwear, like the Juun J. and KIROIC collection, allows for seamless transitions from casual to formal settings, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity in the footwear market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can leverage the zippered shoe trend to create innovative designs that cater to consumers' convenience and style preferences. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore more designer collaborations, similar to Juun J. and KIROIC, to offer unique and exclusive shoe collections that appeal to fashion-forward consumers. - **Retail:** The retail industry can promote and sell versatile footwear options, such as zippered shoes, to meet the evolving needs of consumers looking for multi-functional and convenient footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boldly Designed Zipped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sunder.md) - [Unique Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog.md) - [Collaborative Zipped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-5.md) - [Laceless Technical Zipped Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/townt-ii.md) - [Couture Technical Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juntae-kim.md) - [Weatherproof Lightweight Zipped Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sndr.md) - [Functional Relaxed Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suicoke-fw24-footwear-collection.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot.md) - [Stunning Designer-Backed Shoe Revamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danielle-guizio1.md)
