# Cognac-Colored High-Tops These New SFB 6" Bombers from Nike Feature a Refined Lifestyle Look By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfb-6-bomber References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/11/nike-sfb-6-bomber-cognac) & [nike](https://www.nike.com/launch/t/sfb-bomber-cognac) Looking to give an athletic silhouette a more polished appearance, [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-brown) gave the 'SFB 6" Bomber' an update. This time, the brand uses a beautiful cognac-colored [premium leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shox-sneaker) for the entirety of the upper -- with the quality of the construction evident upon first glance. Artful stitching splits up the upper a bit -- bringing a subtle depth to the design. Nike's [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82) is shown minimally on the new SFB 6" Bombers, with the logo ingrained into the side of the heel. The laces are a slightly lighter tone of brown, helping to give the sneakers more variance -- however they do so in a way that doesn't retract from the minimalism of it. Finishing it off is an off-white sole, which is lightly speckled. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Refined Lifestyle Silhouettes:** Opportunity to create athletic footwear with a more polished and sophisticated look. - **Premium Leather Construction:** Opportunity to use high-quality leather materials to elevate the design and construction of footwear. - **Minimalist Branding:** Opportunity to incorporate subtle and minimal branding elements in footwear designs for a sleek aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Athletic Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the athletic footwear industry by offering refined lifestyle silhouettes. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion accessories industry by introducing premium leather construction in sneakers. - **Streetwear Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the streetwear fashion industry by leveraging minimalist branding for a sleek and modern look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soft Brown Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-brown.md) - [Rich Brown-Tonal Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baroque-brown-colorway-1.md) - [Minimal Contrast Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-khaki.md) - [Luxurious Textured Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha.md) - [Understated Monochromatic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-brown.md) - [Monochromatic Suede Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3.md) - [Coffee-Themed Tonal High-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latte-colorway.md) - [Sleek Leather Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82.md) - [Minimal Earthy Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gato-sneaker.md)
