# Re-Imagined Classic Sneaker Designs Nike's Shoe Dog Pack Recalls the Book by Phil Knight By Amy Duong | Published 2019-07-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-dog References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/7/nike-cortez-shoe-dog-pack-falcon-dimension-six-carolyn-davidson-embroidery-red-phil-knight-memoir-release) & [nike](https://www.nike.com/launch/t/classic-cortez-shoe-dog-pack-nike/) [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-doernbecher-freestyle) introduces a series of Cortez that are designed with inspiration drawn directly from the Shoe Dog novel by Phil Knight -- the capsule is also namely entitled the 'Shoe Dog pack.' The range essentially takes some of the concept designs and brings it to life -- made up of three design options in total. Knight chose these looks for the Cortez silhouette and it includes 'Nike,' '[Falcon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorier-reissued-core-collection),' and the 'Dimension Six.' The Nike iteration takes Carolyn Davidson's original [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-sneaker) design and plasters the look on the side of the sneaker in bright red, showcasing a longer and slimmer version that the one familiar to the public today. The Falcon iteration showcases a large caricature of a bird informed through stitching on the side accompanied by golden trimmings. The third design was Knight's original and first choice -- it features a bright circle at the middle gramed by a blue stripe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Reimagined Classic Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity for footwear brands to create modern and updated versions of iconic sneakers. - **Incorporating Literature-inspired Themes:** Potential for brands to collaborate with authors and create collections inspired by books. - **Reviving Vintage Design Elements:** Opportunity to reintroduce retro design elements into contemporary fashion. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can leverage nostalgia and storytelling to create unique sneaker designs. - **Publishing:** Authors and publishers can explore collaborations with fashion brands to bring their stories to life through clothing and accessories. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the popularity of vintage styles and nostalgia to create unique and eye-catching designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boldly Tonal Patient-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-doernbecher-freestyle.md) - [Retro Perforated Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cortez-sneaker-model.md) - [Metallic-Tinged Retro Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-gold-1.md) - [Open-Stitch Designed Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killshot-2.md) - [Food-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-x-nike-air-force-1.md) - [Symbolic Knot-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendship-knot.md) - [Tactical Camo-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-1-sneaker.md) - [Black Denim-Adorned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-1.md) - [Textural Canvas Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack.md)
