The shoes are made of rip-stop nylon and are coated to keep your feet insulated and toasty warm when you find yourself trudging through 2 feet of snow or more. The outsole includes heavy-duty traction in the most fashionable way to keep you upright on frost-bitten days. The Nike Dunk Hi Winter come in a sleek black design with a bright lime green interior. The D-Ring lace up, which echoes the lacing on a [hiker boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-x-danner-light-ii) ensures that the footwear will be snug and mold to your feet as you walk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Edgy Winter Footwear:** There is an opportunity for innovative winter footwear designs that are both fashionable and functional. - **Rip-stop Nylon Material:** The use of rip-stop nylon material in footwear can be applied to other industries such as outdoor gear and baby products for added durability. - **Heavy-duty Traction Outsoles:** Traction on footwear can be improved and applied to other industries such as sports and construction for safety and performance enhancement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can develop innovative winter footwear designs that are not only trendy but also functional and keep up with weather changes. - **Outdoor Gear:** The rip-stop nylon material used in the Nike Dunk Hi Winter footwear can be applied to other outdoor gear products, such as tents, backpacks, and jackets. - **Construction and Sports:** The heavy-duty traction outsoles can be applied to footwear in the construction and sports industries for safety and performance enhancement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Winter-Ready Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterized-running-shoes.md) - [Fuzzy Blue Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-abominable-snowman.md) - [Rugged Winterized Stealthy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-force.md) - [Fuzzy Winter-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abominable-snowman-dunk-low.md) - [Ugly Christmas Sweater-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-sweater-dunk.md) - [Weatherproof Sneaker-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot.md) - [Neutral Rugged Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-niobium-concept-3.md) - [Fire-Resistant Hiker Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-x-danner-light-ii.md)
