The sneakers are in red, white and blue, with 'Change' printed on the bottom of each sole. The sides mimic the red-and-white waves of Obama's campaign logo. Check out some more Barack Obama sneakers below. "Now, these we can't be too too mad at. Especially after reading about the company, MiBlox, who made these joints. Plus they have a bible scripture on the sole. Hating on these too hard will almost be like booing a 6-year old singing “Greatest Love of All” at a talent show. Unless their name is Randy Watson, Jr. But we must say, these are very original. Far more unique than the random [Air Forces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-boys-air-force-1) and [Shell Toes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-sneaker) we see with Obama logos painted on and etched it. What do ya'll think, would you rock these? Or are these instant jone material? At $75 a pop, they'll be souvenirs at the least." **Implications** - Barack Obama serves as an example of how the common perception of fame has altered. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Limited-edition Sneakers:** Opportunity for businesses to create and market limited-edition sneakers that demonstrate pride and patriotism in a particular figure or message. - **Celebrity-inspired Streetwear:** Opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of celebrity-inspired streetwear by designing unique and original clothing items. - **Political Campaign Merchandise:** Opportunity for businesses to create innovative and creative political campaign merchandise that goes beyond traditional logos and slogans. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate political and cultural messages into their designs. - **Footwear Industry:** Opportunity for footwear brands to create limited-edition sneakers that cater to specific fandoms and political figures. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Opportunity for marketers and advertisers to explore new strategies and creative techniques when promoting celebrity-inspired streetwear and political merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sneaker-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip.md) - [Basketball-Shaped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller.md) - [Food-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-x-nike-air-force-1.md) - [Money-Inspired Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000.md) - [Basketball-Honoring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bb-4000-li-basketball-shoes.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Bright Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-bronson-and-new-balance.md) - [Scrach-Off Detailed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youre-welcome.md) - [Faux Dirty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white.md) - [Kidult Baby Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-baby.md)
