# Holographic Sneaker Designs Nike's Roshe Two Colorways Stir Up Strange Visual Illusions By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-08-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roshe-two References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/08/18/nike-roshe-two-flyknit/) & [nike](http://www.nike.com?dfhbgvdhj) Although [Nike's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-flak) new Roshe Twos don't use actual holographic technology, the way in which separates color in many models gives them a strange hypnotic quality. This comes from using different colors of stripes placed closely together, giving the sneakers more depth and entrancing any who look for a prolonged period of time. The colorways range from vibrant and statement-worthy to more subdued and casual, with examples of the former including a peach, gray and black model and a [neon green, blue and gray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelsekiran-1). The latter includes a black and gray variation that varies in different shades to maintain the striped pattern and another gray and light-gray version that does the same. The Roshe Twos makes use of the popular Nike [Flyknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture) technology as well, making the collection lightweight, breathable and versatile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Optical Illusion Sneakers:** There is an opportunity for footwear companies to explore using optical illusions to achieve visually striking design in their sneakers. - **Flyknit Technology:** Development in the Flyknit technology can open doors for the production of even more types of lightweight and breathable footwear. - **Color Separation Illusions:** Exploration of color separation illusions can create possibilities for other fashion brands to innovate their designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Footwear companies should consider incorporating holographic and optical illusion elements into their designs to create unique and visually striking sneakers. - **Fashion:** Other fashion brands can incorporate optical illusions in their designs in a similar way to create innovative and memorable looks. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can work on developing new materials that can create even more visually stunning and unique optical illusions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iridescent Fall-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-flak.md) - [Chromatic Overlaid Sleek Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-pewter.md) - [Iridescent Summer-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shox-tl-2.md) - [Stealthy Blue Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-royal-colorway-2.md) - [Layered Green Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-6.md) - [Neon-Tinged Performance Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-foamposite-one-1.md) - [Split-Toe Sneaker Returns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/updated-air-rift.md) - [Neon-Tinged Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelsekiran-1.md) - [Dynamic Layered Bright Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-pegasus-wave.md)
