# Texas-Inspired Retro Runners Nike Introduces a Lone Star State Iteration of its Air More Money By Amy Duong | Published 2018-10-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lone-star-state-iteration References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/10/nike-air-more-money-lone-star-state-texas) & [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/drops/nike-air-more-money-lone-star-state#open) [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-vii) prepares to drop a Lone Star State iteration of the signature Air More Money retro sneaker silhouette. The new version pays homage to the state of Texas, with the theme translated through its color scheme. The uppers are predominantly black with decorative accents finished in red, white, and blue as a nod to the Texas state flag. The footwear model is constructed from suede materials with "Lone Star State" adorning the vamp through embroidery. There is also an embellishment at the heel counter that reads "Texas." The lacing system and bubble unit follow the same Texan theme, contrasting against the [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker) and outsole finished in white for contrast. The new Air More Money sneakers are set to drop in November online at Nike and at select retail locations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Texas-inspired Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity for brands to create sneakers that pay homage to specific regions and states, offering consumers a personalized and localized touch. - **Regional Flag-inspired Color Schemes:** Brands can incorporate elements of regional flags into their products, attracting consumers who have a strong sense of local pride and identity. - **Embellished Vamp and Heel Designs:** Designers have the chance to showcase intricate embroidery and embellishments on the vamp and heel of sneakers, adding a unique and premium touch. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** Footwear brands can leverage regional inspirations to create distinctive sneaker designs that resonate with local consumers and stand out in the market. - **Apparel Industry:** Clothing companies can explore incorporating regional themes and color schemes into their designs to offer consumers a complete regional-inspired outfit. - **Tourism Industry:** Tourism boards and souvenir shops can collaborate with sneaker brands to create limited-edition sneakers that represent popular destinations and become coveted souvenirs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Sporty Patriotic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker.md) - [Bold Gradient Retro Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-vii.md) - [Bold Tonal Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn8-1.md) - [Dual-Tonal Plush Functional Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-uptempo-low.md) - [Italy-Inspired Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-1.md) - [Chunky Olympic-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-colorway.md) - [Sunset-Centric Sneaker Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-colorway.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Family Ties-Inspired Dynamic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/con-mi-familia.md)
