The shoes contain a perforated material that is knitted to allow for maximum circulation while an [asymmetrical fit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes) ensures these sneakers are modern and fitted. The asymmetrical aesthetic of the Adidas ZX Flux Asym shoes diverge from the traditional uniformity found in most athletic footwear by having the tongue and laces come up the size of the shoe, rather than the centre. The slight tweak in design gives the sneakers a unique lacing while maintaining a fitted wear. The shoes are available in a bright teal colorway that is ideal for the summer months. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Perforated Sneakers:** Asymmetrical perforated sneakers provide a breathable and comfortable wear, offering innovation in design and material use - **Asymmetrical Design:** Asymmetrical design of athletic footwear offers a unique twist on traditional styles, creating opportunities for differentiation and branding - **Breathable Materials:** Breathable materials in athletic footwear enhance the comfort of the shoes and provide relief and protection to the feet. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Footwear:** Athletic Footwear manufacturers can explore asymmetrical design and breathable materials in their new shoe productions to meet the needs of customers who want comfortable and unique design - **Sportswear Retail:** Sportswear retailers can cater to customers who prioritize comfort and design by incorporating the asymmetrical and perforated sneakers in their inventory, offering choices out of the traditional norms - **Sportswear Fashion:** Sportswear Fashion designers can use the perforated and asymmetrical design in their styles, integrating comfort and unique design to create a new trend in footwear fashion ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-unveils-climacool.md) - [Breezy Mesh Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-breathe.md) - [Breathable Mesh Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt2160-sneaker-3.md) - [Autumnal Aerodynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dfranklin-aero-sneakers.md) - [Knitted Breathable Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture.md) - [Organic Sleek Avant-Garde Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural.md) - [Collaborative Asymmetric Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes.md) - [Redesigned Flagship Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x.md) - [3D-Printed Lattice Futuristic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog.md)
