This sneaker features vibrant patterns in this particular high-top model. Cube patterns have been featured in other Pierre Hardy pieces but are featured in this specific blue/red/black colorway for this release. The upper patterned section is made up of a rich velvet covered in an all-over cubic pattern which wraps around the toe box and heel. The side panel and eyelet area feature a black shiny patent leather trim. The simple white rubber outsole, alongside pure-white flat laces adds some classic simplicity to a generally extreme pattern otherwise. The classic 'Pierre Hardy' typography is featured in all capitals on the ankle strap. This high-top sneaker is available online for $695. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Patterned Footwear:** Opportunity for using unique patterns and materials to create trendy footwear designs. - **Luxury Sneakers:** Opportunity for premium brands to create unique and expensive sneaker designs. - **Statement Sneakers:** Opportunity for unique and bold designs to stand out in the crowded sneaker market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Ability to leverage trendiness to increase brand recognition and sales. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Opportunity to generate high revenue by targeting affluent consumers with unique designs. - **Footwear Industry:** Ability to innovate and create distinctive designs to differentiate from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bold Suede Fashionable Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-suede-sneaker.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md) - [High-End Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viv-on-the-run.md) - [Dynamic Pointed Luxe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1.md) - [Textured Velvet-Covered Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-classic-clog-velvet-pack.md) - [Ultra-Cushioned Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-plus.md) - [Vibrant Luxurious Panelling Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-orbit.md) - [Fashion-Forward Hybrid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coperni-x-puma.md)
