The backpack is sleek and [stylish with a leather finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-classic-backpack) that provides a dapper piece of luggage to use on a daily basis. Since shoes can often harbor unwanted ordors, having a bag that keeps sneakers separate from personal items ensures the shoes aren't also squished. The HEX Sneaker Backpack includes a hardshell zipper compartment at the bottom of the bag that fits even the bulkiest pair of high-top shoes. The bag also offers pockets for laptops and accessories with reinforced padding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 57% | 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-functional Backpacks:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create backpacks that are specifically designed to carry multiple types of items, such as shoes, gym clothes, and personal belongings. - **Odor-resistant Storage Solutions:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop storage solutions that effectively prevent unwanted odors from permeating personal belongings, particularly in bags used to carry shoes. - **Sleek and Stylish Luggage:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to design luggage that combines functionality with a fashionable and sophisticated aesthetic, catering to consumers who prioritize both style and practicality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Backpack Manufacturing:** The backpack manufacturing industry could explore incorporating specialized compartments and design features to cater to consumers' needs for storing different items in a single bag. - **Storage Solutions:** The storage solutions industry can develop innovative materials and designs to create odor-resistant compartments and containers, offering solutions for various storage needs. - **Travel and Accessories:** The travel and accessories industry has the opportunity to create luggage options that combine style and functionality, appealing to consumers who value both fashion and practicality in their travel gear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Odor-Segregating Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odorsegregating-travel-backpack.md) - [Sneaker-Centric Cargo Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-duffle.md) - [Stylishly Versatile Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracksmith-olmsted-pack.md) - [Earbud-Inspired Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack-backpack.md) - [Chic Weekend Jaunt Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik-72hour-backpack.md) - [Compression Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airback-flex.md) - [Pocket-Packed Antitheft Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korin-hubpack-33.md) - [Optimized Airline Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-porter-backpack.md) - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md)
