# Woven Midsole Sneakers Nike and Jacquemus' JF1 Reimagines the Iconic Air Force 1 Style By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2023-06-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-jacquemus References: [designtaxi](https://designtaxi.com/news/423683/Nike-Jacquemus-Unite-For-A-New-Sneaker-That-Weaves-Athleticism-And-Fashion/) Nike's [Air Force 1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jf1) holds immense significance, symbolizing a timeless blend of athletic heritage, urban culture and fashion-forward design, and this iconic sneaker was the starting point for Nike and [Jacquemus'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacquemus-orange-sneaker) JF1. This reimagining of the famous footwear silhouette features a playful intervention in the form of a woven midsole that looks like the laces that tie up the sneaker. As well as paying tribute to one of Nike's most well-loved products, this design includes a jagged sole that references the Nike ACG Terras—the favorite shoes of the French fashion designer. In fact, in an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-6) post, the designer described the JF1 as a "hybrid" of both shoes from Nike. Just like the original Air Force 1 sneaker, the JF1 shoes are available in black and white colorways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 16% - 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) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Woven Midsole Sneakers:** Opportunity for shoe companies to incorporate woven materials in their designs for a playful twist. - **Hybrid Footwear:** Presents opportunity for collaboration between fashion and sports brands to create unique designs. - **Jagged Soles:** Creates opportunity for outdoor and adventure footwear brands to incorporate jagged soles in their products for better traction and durability. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities through the exploration of new materials, collaborations and unique design elements that pay homage to classic styles. - **Fashion:** Collaborative opportunities with sports brands to reach new audiences and create innovative designs. - **Outdoor and Adventure:** Opportunity for innovation in footwear to create better traction and support for outdoor activities and harsh terrain. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Weaved Detail Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j-force-1.md) - [Dark Denim Rework Sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonal-black-denim.md) - [Premium Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-paris.md) - [Low-Profile Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-phantom.md) - [Silver Accent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-whitemetallic-silver.md) - [Paisley Patterned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-paisley.md) - [Textural Canvas Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack.md) - [Slip-On Sneaker-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-force-1-lover-wilds.md) - [Textural Stealthy Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cat-colorway.md)
