# Celebratory Confetti Shoes The Liberty Nike Air Max Sneakers Are Dominated by Paint Splatters By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-nike-air-max References: [sneakernews](http://sneakernews.com/2013/02/11/liberty-x-nike-air-max-1-march-2013/) & [nike](http://www.nike.com) The newest Liberty Nike Air Max sneakers are designed with a celebration in mind, using a confetti-like design for the entire upper section of the shoe. Liberty is a design house from the United Kingdom that has recently collaborated with Nike on a host of offerings. This shoe, which is set to release in May of 2013, is one such collaboration. The Nike Air Max is one of Nike's staple shoe silhouettes and proves a great canvas for [collaborative design projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-tl-25). These Liberty Nike Air Max sneakers are lead by a brilliantly bright [confetti design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-gold-2) on the upper section of the shoe. In an interesting design move, Liberty also muted the colored confetti for the lower half of the shoe, placing a darker tint over top of it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Collaborative Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity to partner with designers and artists on unique and eye-catching sneaker designs. - **Bold Splatter Design:** Potential for disruptive innovation by incorporating bold and colorful splatter designs into various products and accessories. - **Contrasting Color Palettes:** Opportunity to experiment with contrasting color combinations in fashion and consumer products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with artists and designers to create unique and standout products. - **Footwear:** Potential for shoe brands to explore innovative and artistic designs that incorporate splatter patterns. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to incorporate bold and contrasting color palettes in home decor items, adding a vibrant and modern touch. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Makeup Artist-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette.md) - [Valentine's-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-2025-sneakers.md) - [Kiss-Covered Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaquera-x-nike-air-max-dn8.md) - [Retro Brightly Accented Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze.md) - [Futuristic Sporty Patriotic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker.md) - [Lunar Festivity-Inspired Embroidered Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-6.md) - [Glittery Pink Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gold-colorway.md) - [Multi-Color Spring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-1.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md)
