Nike's latest shoe takes the venerable [SB Dunk High](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chasing-grails) and gives it a neon-patriotic makeover. The Nike Statue of Liberty isn't much to look at from the outside, but the inside is a tribute to one of America's most enduring icons. The Statue of Liberty adorns the inner sole of this shoe, complementing the small headshot of the statue of the tongue. Look for Nike to release these liberty-inspired skate shoes sometime in March. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Patriotic Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on creating footwear that pays tribute to national icons or symbols, or offers unique cultural insights through their design. - **Iconic Sole Design:** Innovation opportunities abound in creating unique and eye-catching designs on the inner sole of shoes or other unexpected areas that consumers can showcase through their footwear. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on releasing limited edition shoe collaborations with artists, cultural institutions or significant events to create buzz and exclusive appeal for the product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear & Fashion:** In the footwear and fashion industry, disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on exploring the intersections between culturalsymbols, design, and limited edition releases to drive consumer engagement and loyalty. - **Arts & Culture:** In the arts and culture sector, disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on collaborations with footwear and fashion brands to create unique and meaningful products that connect with consumers through shared cultural interests and values. - **Marketing & Advertising:** In marketing and advertising, disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on leveraging limited edition releases, cultural icons, and unique design features to create engaging campaigns, attract new audiences, and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Olympic-Inspired Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-olympic-safari.md) - [Summer-Ready Bright Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway.md) - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Bronx-Honoring Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-sb-2.md) - [Stealthy Collaborative Skate Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3.md) - [Futuristic Sporty Patriotic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker.md) - [Vegetable-Inspired Tonal Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asparagus-colorway.md) - [Cinema-Inspired Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-of-cinema.md) - [Lunar New Year-Inspired Sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-dunk-low-2.md)
