# Pastel Dual-Toned Sneakers ASICS Launched a 'Parfait Pink' Colorway for the Onitsuka Tiger Ally By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-03-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parfait-pink References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2018/3/asics-onitsuka-tiger-ally-parfait-pink) & [sneak-a-venue](https://www.sneak-a-venue.com/) ASICS recently unveiled a new iteration of its popular Onitsuka Tiger Ally silhouette, with the dual-toned pastel colorway aptly dubbed 'Parfait Pink.' The new design is said to be "based on the Tiger Alliance design originally released in 1980," giving the sneakers a retro aesthetic that's ideal for consumers who are into old school streetwear aesthetics. The Parfait Pink sneakers feature a light hue of flamingo pink on the majority of the uppers, with it covering most of the toes, tongues, and laces. A stark white contrasts this on the sides and heels of the uppers, while a cream midsole gives it a little more variance. The sneakers are then finished off with a light gray outsole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Dual-toned Sneakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new color combinations and contrasting elements in sneaker designs. - **Retro Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating vintage styles into contemporary fashion trends. - **Pastel Colorways:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Catering to consumer preferences for soft and muted color options in footwear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing unique designs and color palettes to attract fashion-conscious consumers. - **Streetwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with sneaker brands to create exclusive retro-inspired designs for streetwear enthusiasts. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding product offerings with pastel color options in accessories like bags and hats to complement the trend in footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pink-Tinged Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-glo-colorway.md) - [Neon-Tinged Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelsekiran-1.md) - [Pastel-Tonal Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhand-og.md) - [Retro Pastel Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhand-shoes.md) - [Neutral Tonal Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnyc-5.md) - [Dynamic Aqua-Tonal Joint Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-20.md) - [Coffee-Like Tonal Joint Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-and-doublet.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Tonal Sneaker Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-split-pack.md) - [Metallic Red-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-121.md)
