It is a chic shoe that boasts an [earthy camouflage pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-premium-black-realtree) that is not too overwhelming. Paired with khaki shorts or denim pants and a basic white tee and their summer outfit is set. The Modern Vice Kenton Desert Camo shoe is the latest rendition of the brand's ankle cut Kenton silhouette. Resting above an industry favorite [Vibram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-danner-mountain-moc-917) Christy outsole with a natural leather stitched welt, it is finished with an air force blue leather lining and matching waxed laces. It is set to release this summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Military-inspired Fashion:** The rise of military-inspired fashion opens up opportunities for dapper army-inspired shoe designs like the Modern Vice Kenton Desert Camo. - **Camouflage Patterns:** Camouflage patterns are making a comeback, providing a stylish option for those looking for an earthy and unique shoe design. - **Ankle Cut Silhouettes:** Ankle cut silhouettes, like the Kenton Desert Camo shoe, offer a trendy and fashionable choice for men wanting a dapper twist on their footwear. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can tap into the growing demand for military-inspired fashion by offering unique and dapper army-inspired shoe designs. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Footwear manufacturers have the opportunity to capitalize on the resurgence of camouflage patterns by incorporating them into their shoe designs. - **Streetwear Clothing:** Streetwear clothing brands can explore collaborations with shoe designers to create trendy and fashionable ankle cut silhouettes, appealing to their target market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactical Camo-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-1-sneaker.md) - [Militaristic Tonal Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bw-army-lux.md) - [Rugged Urban Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-camo-sneaker.md) - [Winter-Ready Militaristic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omaha-and-utah.md) - [Bold Sand-Colored Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anistone-lo-suede-biker.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Chic Cyberpunk Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-air-zoom-gaiadome-goretex-digi-camo.md) - [Camouflage-Detailed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtree-camo-colorway.md) - [Perforated Shoe Camouflage Colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-sneaker-1.md)
