# Misty Mint Kicks The Nike Air Royal Mid VT Look All Plastic and Shiz By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-03-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-royal-mid-vt References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2010/03/23/nike-air-royal-mid-vt-summer-2010-available-now/) & [nike](http://www.nike.com) You know those greasy spoon diners, where the food is great, but the atmosphere and design may be a little shady? The kind of diner that has the bowl of pastel soft mints at the cash where you pay? The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-muse-2) Air Royal Mid VT shoes remind me of those mints. With their [soft colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-colorway-1) (not including the solid black offering), and the [old school high-top look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3), the Nike Air Royal Mid VT is certainly something to behold, let alone wear. Look out for them this summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Soft Colorways in Footwear:** Explore the potential of incorporating soft colorways in footwear designs to create eye-catching and nostalgic products. - **Nostalgic Design Elements in Fashion:** Embrace the use of nostalgic design elements, such as the old school high-top look, to evoke a sense of nostalgia and create a unique fashion statement. - **Food-inspired Fashion:** Leverage food-inspired designs, like the pastel soft mints, to add a playful and unexpected element to fashion products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Footwear:** Fashion footwear brands can capitalize on the trend of incorporating soft colorways and nostalgic design elements to attract fashion-forward consumers. - **Apparel and Accessory Design:** Apparel and accessory designers have the opportunity to fuse food-inspired designs with fashion, creating unique and eye-catching products. - **Retail and Merchandising:** Retailers can curate collections featuring food-inspired fashion items, tapping into consumers' love for nostalgia and novelty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage-Inspired Summer Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-muse-2.md) - [Multi-Color Spring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-1.md) - [Soft Brown Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-brown.md) - [Stealthy Blue Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-royal-colorway-2.md) - [Spring-Ready Collaborative Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-ishod.md) - [Holiday-Honoring Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-colorway-1.md) - [Bold Gradient Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-colorway.md) - [Bold Spring-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fierce-purple.md) - [Green-Tinged Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-aura.md)
