The latest version boasts elements that turn the interior details to the exposed outer design. The flipped out sneakers showcase details that are found within the shoe including the size tag, now adorning the lateral area of the uppers and the tongue. The details that are normally found at the exteriors line the shoe's interiors. Notably, the uppers are constructed from a blend of both leather and canvas materials in a mix of white and off-white hues, whereas the interiors are complete in hues of red and blue. The Sk8-Hi Outside In sneakers are now available for purchase online at [Rock City Kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refillable-deodorant-packs). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Inside-out Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the concept of turning interior details into the outer design, creating unique and eye-catching products. - **Exposing Hidden Elements:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reveal typically concealed components of a product as a design feature, providing a new visual experience for consumers. - **Contrasting Material Combinations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with blending different materials in unexpected ways to create intriguing aesthetic contrasts with a practical purpose. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink traditional shoe design and incorporate unconventional features, materials, and construction techniques for added appeal. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unique design concepts that challenge existing norms and redefine the boundaries of fashion aesthetics. - **Product Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply the concept of exposing hidden elements to packaging design, creating an interactive and engaging unboxing experience for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Graphic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover.md) - [Asymmetrical Slip‑on Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-vans.md) - [Fashion-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-skool-36-souvenir.md) - [All-Over Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anarchy-is-the-key.md) - [Formally Transformed Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastery-atelier.md) - [Vibrant Rugged Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-varsity-collection.md) - [Formal Skate Boat Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-2-eyelet.md) - [Textured Sneaker Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-and-vans.md) - [Breathable Chunky Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speed-ls-sneaker-1.md)
