[Camouflage patterns on a sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-premium-black-realtree) is nothing new, some may even say it's one of the safer routes to go when thinking about integrating pattern onto a canvas sneaker. Mobb Deep chose to go with a design from Tom Penny known as The Bandit. Where this shoe differs from the others is in the white rubber sole, black nylon highlights and ribbed collar. The camo print blends tastefully with deeper hues and black accenting laces. On the tongue of the Mobb Deep x Supra, you'll notice a cheeky bandit graphic in white, covering his face with a bandanna. This is the perfect illustration to be represented on a shoe that is associated with the [Queens, New York rap duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-boys-air-force-1). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Camouflage Sneakers:** Camouflage patterns on sneakers are becoming increasingly popular and can be used as a canvas for artistic expression. - **Artist Collaboration Sneakers:** Collaborations between artists and sneaker brands can create unique and novel designs that appeal to a wider audience. - **Nostalgic Reference Sneakers:** Sneakers that reference cultural icons and historical moments can appeal to consumers looking for a connection to the past. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can incorporate new materials and designs to create unique sneakers that appeal to trend-conscious consumers. - **Music Industry:** The music industry can partner with sneaker brands to create shoes inspired by iconic artists and musicians. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can license its intellectual property for use on sneakers, creating limited edition collectibles for fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thug-club-1.md) - [Stealthy Collaborative Skate Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3.md) - [Camo-Patterned Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-adidas.md) - [Tactical Camo-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-1-sneaker.md) - [Performance-Driven Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-x-asics-capsule.md) - [Camo-Print Colorful Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-vans.md) - [Collaborative Stealthy Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anacapa-2.md) - [Shrouded Hi-Vis Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafate-three2-2.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Rapper-Collab Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro-3d.md)
