# Futuristic Psychedelic High-Tops These New Maison Margiela Sneakers Have Bright Multicolored Soles By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-12-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-sneakers References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/12/maison-margiela-future-high-top-2016-winter) & [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/designers/maison-margiela) These new [Maison Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters) sneakers, which are rightfully dubbed the 'Future High-Tops' are perfect for footwear fanatics on the hunt for [luxurious sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ab2-11s) that are durable, sleek and wonderfully statement-worthy. While the uppers are constructed of premium Italian leather of a single tone -- either black, burgundy, or stark white -- the soles have a uniquely vibrant look. While the soles of the burgundy Maison Margiela sneakers are left a crisp white, those with black and white uppers have bright yellow or multicolored rubber bottoms. This gives the latter a slightly psychedelic appearance, with the contrasting mixture of color garnering it an appearance that's reminiscent of tie-dye. The leather uppers add to the [futuristic appearance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-air-max-dn8) as well, leaving the laces covered and supplying the ankle with a bold strap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxurious Statement Sneakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create high-end sneakers with vibrant, multicolored soles for the fashion-forward consumer. - **Futuristic Leather Uppers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design sneakers with leather uppers that cover the laces and feature bold straps. - **Psychedelic-inspired Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop footwear designs that incorporate tie-dye-inspired colors and patterns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unique and vibrant sole designs into high-end footwear brands. - **Luxury Footwear Market:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create premium sneakers with futuristic leather uppers and bold ankle straps. - **Streetwear Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate psychedelic-inspired designs into streetwear sneaker brands to attract fashion-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Super-Flat Luxurious Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters.md) - [Distressed Canvas Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loved-to-death.md) - [Futuristic Sandal Hybrid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versace-mercury.md) - [Feminine Technical Fashion Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtmary-jane.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md) - [Vibrant Luxurious Panelling Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-orbit.md) - [Stealthy Luxe Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xalp-shoe.md) - [Luxe Organically Shaped Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-architects-and-fendi.md)
