These shoes inspire me to do more with my fruit. The Nike SB Bruin is about as [orange as they come](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-orange-colorway-1). Everyone knows orange is the only way to keep it real on the streets, and [orange with black accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-total-orange) keeps it so real that it borders on being factual. These Nikes are also useful for repping your favorite orange-clad team. Syracuse, for example. That's my only example. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 - **Fruit-inspired Fashion:** The Nike SB Bruin showcases the potential for creating unique fashion pieces through the use of unconventional materials, such as fruit peels. - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** Using natural materials like orange peels can lead to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly fashion products. - **Color-blocking Design:** The contrasting colors of the Nike SB Bruin demonstrate the continued popularity of color-blocking design in fashion trends. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Athletic Footwear and Apparel:** The Nike SB Bruin, made with unconventional materials, could inspire a trend in athletic footwear that incorporates natural materials into their design. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Using orange peels to create unique fashion items like the Nike SB Bruin presents an opportunity for companies to capitalize on the eco-friendly and sustainable fashion movement. - **Design and Packaging:** The use of unconventional materials like orange peels could pave the way for companies to explore creating novel packaging designs using natural, biodegradable materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Orange Leather Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundial-colorway.md) - [All-White Exclusive Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-label-dunk-low-pro-sb.md) - [Bronx-Honoring Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-sb-2.md) - [Summer-Ready Bright Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway.md) - [Dynamic Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps8-skate-sneaker.md) - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Vibrant Orange Performance Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-orange-colorway-1.md) - [Skateboarder-Inspired Footwear Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyjah-4.md) - [Aqua-Tonal Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-sneaker.md)
