The Sid NIs can be picked up in both a vivid blue and black colorway, with both colorways contrasted with white laces, soles, and embroidered branding. The [textured soles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-quan-1) are finished off with a set of black racing stripes, helping to break up the design some more and giving the sneakers a more cohesive aesthetic. For superior comfort and more durability, the new Sid NIs are also outfitted with the brand's UltraCrush foot beds. Both colorways will be available from select Vans retailers, as well as from the brand's online store, in June. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Sneakers:** Opportunity for innovative brands to create unique footwear designs that draw inspiration from retro styles. - **Glitter-heavy Colorways:** Potential for fashion brands to incorporate glitter accents into their products, adding a touch of sparkle and visual interest. - **Textured Soles:** Advancement for footwear brands to experiment with different textures on soles, providing enhanced grip and visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear companies to create limited edition designs that appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Fashion:** Potential for fashion brands to incorporate glittering elements into their products, allowing consumers to make a bold fashion statement. - **Sporting Goods:** Advancement for sporting goods manufacturers to develop footwear with textured soles, improving performance and traction for athletes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear Skate Remixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-future.md) - [Pearl Bead Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearlized-pack.md) - [Revived Archival Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speed-ls.md) - [Bejeweled Checkered Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattias-gollin.md) - [Multi-Color Skater Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parra-and-otw.md) - [Textural Update Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-quan-1.md) - [Reimagined Skate Classic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charms-pack.md) - [Breathable Chunky Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speed-ls-sneaker-1.md) - [Skate-Centric Classic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skate-old-skool-36.md)
