# Color-Popped Kicks The Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse is Colorful and Lightweight By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-force-1-hyperfuse References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/06/02/nike-air-force-1-high-hyperfuse-new-colorways/) [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-turquoise) is preparing to drop a color bomb onto your world this fall with the new Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse collection. In case you aren't familiar with the Nike Hyperfuse line, it is essentially a very colorful and lightweight collection of basketball shoes. The [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-suede) has decided to take all of that color and flair and share it with its Air Force 1 line. The Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse consists of solely high-tops and is made up of six different color selections. The color-popped neon green, blue and red shoes are easily the most eye-catching shoes of this collection, but even the white and gray Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuses (the tamer offerings) shine brighter than white shoes normally do. The Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse collection isn't dropping until fall, so you have plenty of time to work up the courage to actually rock a pair of neon green Nike [Air Force 1s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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's Driving This Trend - **Colorful Footwear:** There is an opportunity for footwear brands to create vibrant and eye-catching shoe collections, like the Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse collection. - **Lightweight Materials:** Using lightweight materials in shoe manufacturing can enhance comfort and performance, as seen in the Nike Hyperfuse line. - **Bold Color Palettes:** Brands can explore bold and neon color palettes to create unique and attention-grabbing shoe designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can leverage colorful and lightweight designs to attract consumers and stay ahead of the competition. - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel brands can incorporate lightweight and colorful elements into their product offerings, catering to athletes and trend-conscious consumers. - **Athletic Shoes:** The athletic shoe industry can adopt the use of lightweight materials and bold color palettes to create innovative and visually striking shoe options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Honoring Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-colorway-1.md) - [Fall-Tonal Classic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diffused-blue-1.md) - [Neon-Tinged Performance Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-foamposite-one-1.md) - [Supple Blue Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-suede.md) - [Retro Translucent Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-woman-20.md) - [Textural Canvas Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Orange-Tinged Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jf1.md) - [Premium Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-paris.md)
