Dubbed the 'Vandal Surprise,' the shoe entertains a leather and textile upper and a chunky triple-stacked platform with red, blue and white stripes that give off a strong retro aesthetic. The silhouette of the women's sneaker model is also a subtle metallic that captures the attention and directs thoughts to futuristic thematics. The Nike Vandal Surprise debuts in two colorways — silver, red and blue or black, gold and white. The latter is a sleeker, more luxurious and less out-there version of the former, however both appeal to a certain stylistic preference. Jumping on the craze for platformed shoes, the new Nike sneaker model is a modern take on the chunky silhouette. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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's Driving This Trend - **Retro Stacked Sneaker Models:** The trend of retro stacked sneaker models provides opportunities for brands to combine nostalgic aesthetics with contemporary design. - **Futuristic Thematics:** The trend of integrating futuristic thematics in sneaker design offers innovative opportunities for brands to create attention-grabbing and forward-thinking footwear. - **Platformed Shoes:** The trend of platformed shoes opens up possibilities for brands to experiment with elevated soles and create unique shoe designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can capitalize on the trend of retro stacked sneaker models to appeal to consumers seeking a blend of nostalgia and modernity in their footwear choices. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the trend of futuristic thematics in sneaker design to create cutting-edge and futuristic apparel and accessories. - **Retail:** The retail industry can take advantage of the trend of platformed shoes by offering a variety of elevated sole options to cater to the growing demand for fashionable and unique footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Millennium Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-v2k-run.md) - [Leather Overlapping Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-exploraid.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Futuristic Layered Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-portal.md) - [Flashy Gold Utilitarian Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-4.md) - [Chunky Archival Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estazzo.md) - [Progrssive Chunky Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-sc.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-runner.md) - [Bolding Layered Breathable Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vomero-5-3.md)
