In order to capitalize on this excitement, the two created [slip-on sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-superfly-moc) that make use of much of the same style. Like the OVO Air Jordan 12 sneakers, the masculine sandals are covered in a sleek white and gold colorway. Marked mostly by white, the gold accents speckles the insole and carries the OVO branding that appears on the thick [Velcro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-mafate-three2) strap. Although it's not clear when the release of the slip-ons will come, it's likely that it'll follow that of the OVO Air Jordan 12s given the likeness in appearance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Sneaker-celebrating Sandals:** Opportunity to combine popular sneaker styles with sandals to appeal to fans of both footwear categories. - **White and Gold Colorway:** Potential for creating products in a sleek white and gold color scheme to attract consumers seeking luxurious and fashionable designs. - **Collaborative Branding:** Possibility of partnering with different labels to create branded sandals that complement popular sneakers, expanding market reach. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Innovation in creating unique sandal designs that cater to sneaker enthusiasts and capitalize on the popularity of both categories. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate white and gold colorways into their collections, inspired by the sneaker-sandal collaboration. - **Collaborative Marketing:** Potential for companies to collaborate on branding efforts, creating co-branded products to generate buzz and reach new target markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Sneaker-Inspired Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-jordan-roam.md) - [Sporty Perforated Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-clogs.md) - [Luxury Slip-On Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-mule-loafer.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Slip-On Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-mule-dark-team-red.md) - [Hybrid Slip-On Sleek Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mule-loafer.md) - [Slip-On Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-mule.md) - [Speckled Minimal Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-oreo.md) - [Luxe Creamy Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-colorway-1.md) - [Hybrid Laced Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-gazelle.md)
