Crystal-Encrusted Running Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike's Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 Arrives in a Sparkling Colorway

— March 13, 2019 — Lifestyle
Nike's Air Vapormax Flyknit 2.0 sneakers arrive in a new iteration that can't be missed due to the colorway and sparkling detail. The running shoe has a plethora of colorway and collaborative versions, but the newest spotlights a Volt colorway, adorning vibrant neon hits throughout the uppers. The foundation is highlighted by the signature translucent bubble sole unit and the neon uppers are contrasted by a white Swoosh as the branding accent.

Notably, the new sneakers boast a shimmering detail when it hits the light as there are 1,000 dual-finish Swarovski crystals embroidered into the uppers by hand. This gives the entire shoe a sparkling visual effect and adds a sense of luxurious elements to the entire piece.
Trend Themes
1. Crystal-encrusted Sneakers - Opportunity for luxury fashion brands to incorporate shimmering details and Swarovski crystals into their footwear designs.
2. Vibrant Neon Colorways - Potential for athletic shoe brands to experiment with bold and eye-catching neon colors to attract a younger, fashion-forward consumer base.
3. Collaborative Sneaker Editions - Opportunity for sneaker brands to collaborate with designers or celebrities and create limited-edition, highly sought-after footwear collections.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Fashion - High-end fashion brands can explore incorporating crystal-encrusted details into their shoe collections to create visually stunning and luxurious products.
2. Athletic Footwear - Athletic shoe brands can capitalize on the popularity of vibrant neon colors to create unique and attention-grabbing sneakers for the sports and fashion markets.
3. Sneaker and Streetwear - Collaborative sneaker editions offer a disruptive opportunity for sneaker brands and designers to create exclusive and limited-edition products that drive hype and demand from sneaker enthusiasts and collectors.
