This time the Nike Sportswear x Maraham Air Zoom Tennis Classic is an organic-looking pair of sneakers that's extremely refreshing on the eyes. It's made from undyed linen, tan premium leather and woven horsehair. It's a fairly simple, [minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morse-code-cortez) with a natural aesthetic that's a nice change from the other sneakers on the market. The tan upper is contrasted with white laces and vulcanized soles, complete with a perforated swoosh on the side. Nike and Maraham have been extremely impressive with the shoes they're coming out with. I'm more than excited to see what else this partnership can produce for the sneakerheads out there. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Organic-looking Sneakers:** Opportunity for brands to explore sustainable materials and natural aesthetics in footwear design. - **Minimalist Design:** Potential for companies to create simple and clean designs that stand out in a market filled with flashy sneakers. - **Collaborative Partnerships:** Chance for brands to join forces and combine their expertise to create innovative and unique sneaker collaborations. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to incorporate sustainable materials and minimalist designs in their shoe collections. - **Fashion:** Potential for fashion brands to embrace the trend of organic-looking sneakers and collaborate with sportswear companies for exclusive footwear collections. - **Sporting Goods:** Opportunity for sports brands to tap into the growing demand for minimalist and aesthetically pleasing sneakers through partnerships with fashion labels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Stitch Designed Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killshot-2.md) - [Sleek Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/court-shot.md) - [Luxurious Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harris-tweed-1.md) - [Heritage Dress Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-rk61.md) - [Stealthy Monochromatic Court Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killshot-2-sneaker.md) - [Classic Technical Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-waffle.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-2k24.md) - [Bumblebee-Inspired Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-3.md) - [Ultra-Slick Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers.md)
