The pump has a [skin-colored base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peu) that looks as if it is the protective matriarch to the [smaller identical heel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection), crafted with the same features but facing in different directions. The straps wrap around to join the two opposing parts looking as though they could even be clasped hands. The Kobi Levi ‘Mother & Daughter’ design is a strange shoe structure but manages to mimic a mom and child relationship splendidly as a [unique family-inspired installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-jewelry-collections) made with heart and sole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Family-inspired Shoes:** Discovering ways to incorporate family themes in shoe designs opens up opportunities for emotional connections with customers. - **Multipurpose Shoe Designs:** Creating shoes with multiple components that can be styled or worn in different ways allows for versatility and customization. - **Artistic Shoe Installations:** Designing shoe sculptures that mimic relationships or tell a story through their unique structures offers a new form of artistic expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Innovative shoe designs that reflect family themes can revolutionize the fashion industry by appealing to customers' emotions. - **Retail:** Offering multipurpose shoe designs that can be transformed or customized provides opportunities for retailers to cater to diverse customer needs. - **Art and Design:** Creating artistic shoe installations opens up new possibilities for artists and designers to express themselves and attract attention to their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maternal-Themed Sculptural Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-and-child.md) - [Floral Tribute Maternal-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-couch-2.md) - [Sustainable Adapting Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-shoe.md) - [Kidult Baby Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-baby.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Grandma-Inspired Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-couch-2-rivalry-lo.md) - [Complimentary Footwear Giveaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foot-changes-during-pregnancy.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Technical Mary Jane Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gellokros-asics-mary-janes.md)
