# Ironically Worn-Out Sneakers These Reebok and Vetements Sneakers Were Made to Look Old and Used By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-01-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-and-vetements References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/1/vetements-reebok-2017-fall-winter-sneaker-328) & [reebok](http://reebok.com) These [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanghyuk) and Vetements sneakers come with dirty white uppers, which make them look as though they've been worn for years with little caution. The new model was reportedly first debuted at a 2017 Fall/Winter runway show, where fashion designer [Demna Gvasalia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection) brought them out. These Reebok and Vetements sneakers follow another collaborative effort between the two brands, which resulted in a remodel of the [Instapump Fury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-4). Similarly to the most recent model, the Instapump Fury was given a uniquely worn-out look, as messy scribbles were sprawled across its clean white uppers. By supplying the Reebok and Vetements sneakers with dirt-covered uppers, Demna Gvasalia recreates a care-free look that casts away the need for perfection that's so often associated with runway fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pre-distressed Fashion:** Creating clothing and accessories with a vintage or worn-out appearance to appeal to consumers seeking individuality and non-conformity. - **High Fashion Sneaker Collaboration:** Collaborating with streetwear and athletic brands to create high-end designer sneakers. - **Anti-perfectionism Movement in Fashion:** Rebelling against the traditional concept of perfection in fashion designs by purposely incorporating imperfections into clothing and accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** Incorporating pre-distressed and anti-perfectionism concepts into mainstream clothing and accessories for broader consumer appeal. - **Athletic Footwear:** Partnering with high-end fashion designers to create unique and innovative sneaker designs for increased demand and market expansion. - **Luxury Goods:** Embracing the trend of pre-distressed fashion and collaborating with unique designers to create high-end and exclusive products that cater to consumers seeking individuality and exclusivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Faux Dirty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white.md) - [Purposefully Imperfect Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanghyuk.md) - [Functional Contemporary Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering.md) - [Textural Stitched Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-94.md) - [Distressed Canvas Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loved-to-death.md) - [Dramatically Designed Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noir-kei.md) - [Pre-Worn Paint-Splattered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-5.md) - [Hand-Stitched Artisanal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals-1.md) - [Performance-Inspired Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering1.md)
