The first set introduced was a pair of [basketball sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-mid-clyde-royal) that were loved by NYC, and now that [classic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/team-bank) has been made over into [leather street shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tie-20). With options of low and high cuts, the shoes' aesthetic should please any fashionisto. The Pro-Keds Royal Plus Leather Pack is a set of good-looking shoes ready for anything. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Sneaker Revival:** Opportunity for brands to reintroduce classic sneaker designs with modern twists for nostalgia-seeking consumers. - **Street Fashion Revamp:** Opportunity for the fashion industry to incorporate classic sneaker designs into modern streetwear styles. - **Versatile Footwear Options:** Opportunity to offer a range of cuts and styles for classic sneakers that cater to various consumer preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear brands to reimagine and reintroduce classic sneaker designs. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate classic sneakers into their collections and tap into the nostalgia trend. - **Sports Apparel:** Opportunity for sports apparel brands to collaborate with classic sneaker brands and offer retro-inspired footwear options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Indoor Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-indoor.md) - [Sleek Retro Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-lowpro.md) - [Functional Contemporary Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering.md) - [Sleek Leather Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-speedcat.md) - [Slim Low-Profile Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-lowprofile-sneakers.md) - [Celebratory Shoe Anniversary Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-c-85-vintage.md) - [Ultra-Slick Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers.md) - [Sleek Spike-Paneling Sneaker Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro-pack.md) - [Texturally Elevated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-c-grounds-uk.md)
