In memory of the [Apollo 11](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker) mission, Nike created these super stylish and modern kicks that come with a graphic design inspired by the craters on the moon. These out of this world celestial sneakers feature a 3M [moon crater upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudzone-moon) made from a mixture of dark and light gray specks. The design is a hyperrealistic version of the crater pockets you can see on the real moon way up in space. The soles are slightly elevated for maximum comfort. The heels also come with a patriotic stars-and-stripes paneling that celebrate Armstrong's American heritage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celestial-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate celestial designs and technologies into their products. - **Nostalgic Retro-culture:** Opportunity to tap into consumers' desire for nostalgia by creating products that celebrate historical events in unique ways. - **Hyperrealistic Design:** Opportunity to create products with designs that incorporate hyperrealism to create a unique visual appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate celestial-inspired designs and technologies into their products to stay on-trend. - **Retail:** Retailers can tap into consumers' desire for nostalgia by stocking and marketing products that celebrate historical events in unique ways. - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can leverage hyperrealistic design to create products that stand out in a crowded market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reinterpreted Sleek Track Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-roam.md) - [Space Exploration Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-reebok-x-nasa-shoes.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Secure Cable-Accented Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-lunar-roam.md) - [Monochromatic Metallic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-usa.md) - [Football Boot-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-tiempo.md) - [Moon Landing-Themed Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker.md) - [Monochromatic Patterned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunderstorm-colorway.md) - [Lunar-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudzone-moon.md)
