# Woven Linen Sneakers Nike Revitalized One of Its Popular Models with an Especially Neutral Theme By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-08-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linen-sneakers References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/8/nikelab-air-footscape-woven-linen) & [shelflife.co.za](http://www.shelflife.co.za/products/Online-store) Although it wasn't long ago that [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82-3) released another colorway of its 'Air Footscape Woven Silhouette,' the brand is now offering the opposite of its former rainbow edition with a pair of subdued linen sneakers. The uppers of the shoes are completely covered with a light beige fabric, however the [mono-toned colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-brown) is granted more depth by the woven detailing that goes right through the center of the sides. In addition to adding to the overall aesthetic of the linen sneakers, the woven detailing offers the feet more ventilation as well, while still maintaining a level of warmth. Countering the all-beige upper is a sleek white sole, which has the bottom of its heel accented with beige as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Neutral Tone Sneakers:** The rise of minimalistic and neutral colorways in the sneaker industry provides opportunities for brands to create understated and versatile designs. - **Woven Detailing:** Incorporating functional and stylish woven details in footwear can improve breathability and add depth to monochromatic designs. - **Sustainable Materials:** There is a growing demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable materials in the fashion industry, presenting opportunities for innovation in sneaker production. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry should explore incorporating sustainable materials and functional woven details into neutral and minimalistic designs. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the trend of eco-conscious consumerism by using sustainable materials and producing minimalist designs with understated woven details and neutral tones. - **Textiles:** Innovations in eco-friendly textiles can provide materials for sustainable and breathable sneakers with intricate woven details in monotone colorways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Woven Textural Summer Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82-3.md) - [Neutral Technical Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linen-colorway-1.md) - [Minimal Contrast Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-khaki.md) - [Open-Stitch Designed Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killshot-2.md) - [Neutral-Colored Y2K Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-p6000-premium.md) - [Weaved Detail Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j-force-1.md) - [Textural Canvas Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack.md) - [Understated Monochromatic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-brown.md) - [Minimal Earthy Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gato-sneaker.md)
