The brand's first-ever sneaker design has been appropriately dubbed the Crunch Force 1 and combines premium leather with a "peanut insole" and a distinctive tongue. The new sneakers have been launched ahead of the draft, helping to equip players with a fun new style by artists Jeff Cole and Seth Fowler and [Philadelphia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b01-44-nfl)-based sneaker manufacturer Rich Franklin. The limited-edition sneaker will be sold until supplies last for $170, branded as "a high-quality sneaker that [Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planters-special-reserve) fans and basketball fans can go nuts for." Like this unexpected sneaker drop, last year, Planters unveiled a collaborative Mr. IPA-Nut beer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Limited-edition Brand Collaborations:** The success of the Mr. Peanut sneaker collaboration could inspire other brands to team up and release limited-edition merchandise to reach new audiences. - **Food-inspired Fashion:** Consumers' love for food-inspired products could continue to fuel the popularity of snack-themed apparel and accessories. - **Athletic Brand Partnerships:** Following in the footsteps of Planters' partnership with Philadelphia-based sneaker manufacturer Rich Franklin, other athletic brands could team up with unexpected collaborators for unique and playful designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage brands could explore new merchandise options beyond traditional products. - **Apparel and Footwear:** Apparel and footwear companies could incorporate food-themed designs and collaborations into their marketing strategies. - **Sporting Goods and Athletic Apparel:** Sporting goods and athletic apparel brands could consider partnering with unexpected collaborators to create unconventional and playful designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Hand-Cooked Peanuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planters-special-reserve.md) - [Limited-Edition Peanut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planters-special-reserve-peanuts.md) - [Soda-Collaborative Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaq-attaq-2.md) - [Peachy Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-scoot-zeros-georgia-peach.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Money-Inspired Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000.md) - [Bar-Inspired Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-nut-mix.md) - [Diner Culture Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticky-kicks.md) - [Charming Chocolatier-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-dunk-low-wonka.md)
