# Split-Personality Shoes The Puma by Miharayasuhiro MY-57 Mid Snake is Elegant and Sporty By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-by-miharayasuhiro-my57-mid-snake References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/09/puma-my-57-mid-snake/) & [puma](http://www.puma.com/) The Puma by Miharayasuhiro MY-57 Mid Snake is made for the young adult on the cusp of leaving behind his adolescent self. That, or it simply combines the best of two worlds for a person who hates making decisions. A split-personality shoe, it melds elegance and sportiness together in a unique hybrid that will have some people raving and other people hating. Part of the label's fall 2012 Black Label collection, the Puma by Miharayasuhiro MY-57 Mid Snake combines a snakeskin boot with an orange rubber and a suede sneaker with a white sole for a footwear design that appears to be suffering from some confusion. More casual than classy, they will make a bold statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hybrid Footwear:** The Puma by Miharayasuhiro MY-57 Mid Snake exemplifies the trend of combining different styles in shoe design. - **Individual Expression:** These split-personality shoes cater to individuals who want to showcase different aspects of their personality through their footwear. - **Bold Statement:** The unique design of the Puma by Miharayasuhiro MY-57 Mid Snake is part of a trend towards bold and unconventional fashion choices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities to create more hybrid footwear designs that appeal to consumers seeking unique styles. - **Footwear:** Footwear companies can capitalize on the trend of individual expression by offering customizable split-personality shoe options. - **Youth Lifestyle:** This trend of bold statement footwear aligns with the preferences and style choices of the youth demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dramatic Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti-pony-hair.md) - [Dramatic Spiked Sporty Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Breathable Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-sneaker.md) - [Sleek Spike-Paneling Sneaker Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro-pack.md) - [Futuristic Street Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro-cage.md) - [Chunky Hybrid Boot Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-kyasu-overboot.md) - [Performance-Inspired Designer Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-x-puma.md) - [Fashion-Forward Hybrid Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coperni-x-puma.md) - [Monochromatic Slim Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostro-sneaker-1.md)
