# Playtime-Accommodating Kid Sneakers The Super Heroic Sneakers Keep Kids Supported and Comfortable By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-04-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroic-sneakers References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/super-heroic-sneakers/) & [superheroic](https://superheroic.com/products/tmblr-v1) The Super Heroic Sneakers have been developed as a pair of shoes that have been optimized for the average child to help them perform to the best of their ability during playtime and everywhere in between. Many [shoes for children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skechers-kids-find-my-skechers) are simply a smaller version of adult footwear, which doesn't suit the individual needs of growing wearers. The Super Heroic Sneakers were developed by former [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swoosh-1-trainer) global design director Jason Mayden who was inspired by his own son's needs to develop a shoe that is focused on providing optimal support and comfort for young wearers. The Super Heroic Sneakers are accented with a dual-density midsole along with a rubber outsole that will provide advanced stability to ensure wearers feel capable of anything. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Kid Sneakers Designed for Optimal Support and Comfort:** Opportunity for shoe companies to focus on developing children's shoes that cater to their unique needs instead of simply being smaller versions of adult footwear. - **Child-centered Shoe Design:** Opportunity for designers to create shoes that prioritize the needs of growing wearers. - **Performance Footwear for Children:** Opportunity for shoe companies to provide children with footwear that helps them achieve their full potential during physical activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Children's Footwear Industry:** Companies in the children's footwear industry can capitalize on the trend of creating shoes that are optimized for the needs of growing wearers. - **Sporting Goods Industry:** Companies in the sporting goods industry can develop performance-focused footwear for children to help them excel in physical activities. - **Fashion and Apparel Industry for Kids:** Fashion and apparel companies can incorporate optimal support and comfort features into children's shoes as a point of differentiation for their brand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Knitted Toddler Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swoosh-1-trainer.md) - [Supportive Children’s Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wander-shoe.md) - [Kidult Baby Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-baby.md) - [Aqua-Tonal Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-sneaker.md) - [Cosmic-Inspired Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-runner.md) - [Tracker-Friendly Kids Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skechers-kids-find-my-skechers.md) - [Progressively Growing Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nos-by-sz.md) - [Summer-Ready Sporty Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-swoosh.md) - [Discreet Tracking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-my-skechers.md)
