The design nods to a [nautical theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-2-eyelet) and feature colorways including black, red, green, and blue in striped patterning. It is constructed to have a thinner canvas material throughout the uppers in order to suit the warmer weather and boasts a similar look to the [signature Era model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/era-skool). It also spotlights the foldable heel area -- this allows the sneaker to transform to a slip-on for easy accessibility during the hot weather. There are also laces for when wearers prefer to wear the shoe in a closed-heel silhouette. The pack is now available for purchase online at retailers including Feature LV. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 17% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nautical-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity for companies to create unique designs that cater to consumers with a love for nautical-themed fashion. - **Adaptable Footwear:** Opportunity for companies to explore making shoes that can easily transform into a slip-on for added convenience. - **Lightweight Canvas Sneakers:** Opportunity for companies to create sneakers that cater to warmer weather and have a similar look to popular signature models. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Companies in the fashion industry could leverage nautical-inspired patterns and designs in footwear, while also creating adaptable shoes with a focus on lightweight canvas material. - **Retail:** Retailers could benefit from offering a variety of summer footwear options that cater to different style preferences and weather conditions. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies in the footwear industry could explore innovative materials and transformable designs to create sneakers that fulfill multiple consumer needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Asymmetrical Slip‑on Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-vans.md) - [Formally Transformed Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastery-atelier.md) - [Hybrid Skate Slip-On Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erap-shoe.md) - [Reimagined Skate Classic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charms-pack.md) - [Dynamic Graphic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sr-studio-la-ca.md) - [Formal Skate Boat Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-2-eyelet.md) - [Fashion-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-skool-36-souvenir.md) - [Dynamic Layered Patterning Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-clash-the-wall.md) - [Retro Patterned Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/era-skool.md)
