# Pixelated Sneaker Heels The Nike Dunk Sky Hi Liberty Sneakers Feature a Pixelated Design By Paul Maccarone | Published 2013-09-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-dunk-sky-hi References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/433091228590932879/Nike-Dunk-Sky-Hi-Liberty-Hidden-Wedge-Sneaker) & [nike](http://www.nike.com) The incredible pixelated design of the new [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-mid) Dunk Sky Hi Liberty Hidden Wedge sneakers serves as a stunning way to be distinct. Along with the [patterned design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3) the hi-top kicks also feature a [hidden wedge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-wedge) that transforms the sneakers into a wedged heel. With the iconic white Nike logo displayed proudly along the side of the shoe, the contrasting effect is really impactful. Having a sneaker that emulates a heel is a wonderful way for women to still have that empowering feeling of strutting in heels, while having the urban chic style that sneakers are known for. With a 2 1/2" heel the Nike Dunk Sky Hi Liberty sneakers are a brilliant mashup of two incredibly popular types of footwear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 - **Pixelated Sneakers:** The pixelated design trend in sneakers presents opportunities for unique and eye-catching footwear innovations. - **Hidden Wedge:** The hidden wedge trend in sneakers opens up possibilities for creating versatile and stylish footwear that combines the comfort of sneakers with the added height of heels. - **Mashup Footwear:** The trend of combining different styles, like sneakers and heels, allows for the creation of bold and fashionable footwear options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore incorporating pixelated designs and hidden wedges to create unique and innovative products for consumers. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the trend of mashup footwear to provide consumers with stylish and versatile options that challenge traditional footwear conventions. - **Athleisure:** The athleisure industry can tap into the pixelated sneakers trend to offer customers sporty yet fashion-forward footwear designs that blend comfort and style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Wedged Sneaker Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-wedge.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Festive Crackled Low-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-halloween-1.md) - [Comfortable High-Heeled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highheeled-sneaker.md) - [Spring-Centric Leather Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokey-mauve.md) - [Comfortable Hybrid Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneex.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md)
