In all neutral tones, the different panel design is mostly grey with a white trim and tread, some navy and forest green detailing and a beige center that reaches all the way up the tongue. The grey laces run through gunmetal grey eyelets and have a waxy finish that won't come undone as you're going about your day. Made in Italy out of 100% premium leather, the [subtle suede and smooth leather panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha) provide contrast for the crocodile structured leather, making it stand out even more. For relaxed shoes that are all about comfort and sophistication, go for the textured Lanvin Mid Top Sneaker. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Textured Sneakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to incorporate various textures into sneaker designs, creating unique and eye-catching footwear options. - **Neutral Color Palette:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new ways to use neutral tones in fashion, creating versatile and timeless designs that appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Premium Leather:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable and alternative materials that can replicate the luxury and durability of premium leather, offering more eco-friendly options for footwear manufacturing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to create innovative and comfortable footwear that combines style and functionality. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technological advancements, such as 3D printing or smart fabrics, into fashion designs, revolutionizing the industry and enhancing the overall consumer experience. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable practices and materials to create high-end luxury products that align with environmentally conscious consumer values, catering to the growing demand for ethical and eco-friendly options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Croc Leather Sneaker-Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-croc.md) - [Loafer-Sneaker Hybrid Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-croc.md) - [Dynamic Pointed Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1.md) - [Dramatically Shaped Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker.md) - [Innovative Mesh Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-neo-shot-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Spring-Ready Preppy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-2k24-sneaker.md) - [Advanced 70s-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-elite-active-sneakers.md) - [Faux Reptilian Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-moc-premium.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-2k24.md)
