The sneakers are ventilated throughout thanks to a series of small holes that run throughout the leather. The shoes are made using both [synthetic materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-zponge) and high grade leather, to provide a soft and supple fabric similar to the texture of suede. The sneakers are decked out in a dapper and easy to dress dark grey colorway that runs throughout the upper to the laces and soles. The midsole portion of the shoe is tubular with a structured and fitted design that provides a sleek fit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 - **Perforated Sneakers:** Perforated sneakers with ventilation holes throughout the leather offer a modern and stylish design. - **High Top Sneakers:** High top sneakers provide a sleek and fitted design perfect for sport and fashion. - **Minimalist Sneakers:** Minimalist sneakers offer clean and simple designs with subtle accents perfect for everyday wear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from incorporating modern and stylish designs using perforated materials. - **Athletic Footwear:** Incorporating high top and structured designs into athletic footwear can create innovative and stylish options for athletes and enthusiasts. - **Leather Industry:** The leather industry can benefit from using perforated materials to create breathable and supple products with a unique and modern look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rugged Winter-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-forum-low-goretex.md) - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md) - [Rounded Heel Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idoso-boost.md) - [Bubble-Like Semi-Transparent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-bubble.md) - [Trail-Ready Hiking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-hiker-2-low-gtx.md) - [Monochromatic Performance Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-on-cloudmonster-2.md) - [Chunky Perforated Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-trek.md) - [Collaborative Fashion Puffy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boost-sneaker.md) - [Semi-Translucent Sneaker Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-shell.md)
