The latest version of the iconic shoe highlights a bold print across the side -- a print that is not unfamiliar to the fashion house. Across the side of the sneaker is a [tiger motif](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiger) that is seen across some of the house's offerings already -- it is informed in a large manner and stands out against the low-top structure. The sneakers are constructed from [paneling black leather materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-pony-hair) and are carefully made in Italy. Additional details include the padded color, round toe, and flat laces in black to create a muted foundation. The striking print is complete in orange, red, and white, boasting a roaring look with sharp teeth and intricate details. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal Print Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate bold animal prints in their fashion designs to attract customers. - **Luxury Sneakers:** Potential for high-end fashion houses to create premium sneakers with unique prints and details for fashion-forward consumers. - **Bold Color Accents:** Innovation opportunity for brands to experiment with bold color accents in their shoe designs to make a statement. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage animal prints and bold color accents to create unique and trendy clothing and accessories. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can tap into the demand for high-end sneakers by introducing unique designs with luxurious materials and details. - **Footwear:** Shoe manufacturers can explore incorporating animal prints and bold color accents in their designs to cater to the fashion-conscious consumer market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Sock-Like Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Luxury Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-sneaker.md) - [New Year-Themed Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-tiger.md) - [Dramatically Shaped Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Pointed Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1.md) - [Dramatic Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti-pony-hair.md) - [Luxe Leather-Lined Plaid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrace-sneaker.md) - [Animal Patterned Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-4.md) - [Luxe Legacy-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-7.md)
