# Patriotic High-Top Sneakers KKtP Sneakers Introduces a Metallic Red, White and Blue Shoe By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-03-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-and-blue References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/loves/kktp-sneakers/) & [dnainfo](http://dnainfo.com/chicago/20160113/boystown/wine-vending-machines-have-arrived-at-paired-wine-boystown) These patriotic high-tops by KKtP Sneakers boast a red, white and blue design that is a subtle nod to the American flag. Designed by Kim Kiroic, the metallic kicks feature a [retro-modern design style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sons-rogue-baseline-hi-top-tan) and are reminiscent of nostalgic boxing boots. The red, white and blue statement sneakers can be purchased on the WUT Berlin e-shop and are priced just over $600. The collectible sneakers may not seem practical for everyday wear but are surprisingly comfortable thanks to a subtly raided insole and cushioned heel accents. In addition to their [metallic leather exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-121), KKtp Sneakers' patriotic high-tops are accented with a breathable mesh tongue, velcro strap and even built-in vibram technology -- a brand known for its signature "five fingers" shoe model and comfort-focused insole range -- making them suitable for running or other physical activities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Patriotic Footwear:** The rise of patriotic-themed footwear presents an opportunity for brands to tap into consumers' national pride. - **Retro-modern Design:** Combining retro elements with modern design creates a unique aesthetic that appeals to fashion-forward consumers. - **Comfort-focused Sports Shoes:** The integration of comfort-focused features in sports shoes offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the athletic footwear industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend of patriotic footwear to create unique and stylish options for consumers. - **Sports and Athletics:** Sports shoe manufacturers can incorporate comfort-focused features into their products to provide a competitive edge in the market. - **Collectibles:** The demand for collectible sneakers opens up opportunities for brands to create limited-edition designs and appeal to sneaker enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chunky Olympic-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-colorway.md) - [Futuristic Sporty Patriotic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker.md) - [Country-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-street-tf.md) - [Functional Festive Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-salomon-xt4k.md) - [Collaborative Cartoon Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-hightop-sneakers.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Japanese Artwork Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-allstar.md) - [Romantic Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-heartstep.md)
