The collaboration resulted in a meter-long version of the iconic sneakers, plus a mismatched black and white design for each foot. The monochromatic palette was inspired by the concept of yin and yang, balance and complementary forces in the world. As Tommy Cash expresses, "Both the angel and the devil live in me at the same time – two opposites that are constantly fighting with each other." As ever, the [bespoke sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you) for the conceptual artist have elements of the same Superstar style, yet in a stretched-out form that repeats rows of laces and eyelets one after another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Customized Sneakers:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by providing unique sneakers to individuals through customized options. - **Mismatched Sneakers:** Opportunity to offer unconventional designs of sneakers that challenge traditional fashion norms. - **Elongated Sneakers:** Opportunity to disrupt the sneaker industry by experimenting with proportions to create unique designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** This trend presents an opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by providing unique, custom designs to individuals. - **Sneaker Industry:** This trend presents an opportunity to create unique and unconventional sneaker designs that challenge traditional sneaker norms. - **Conceptual Art Industry:** This trend presents an opportunity to experiment with sneaker designs that combine elements of fashion and conceptual art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar.md) - [Retooled Reimagined Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masha-popova.md) - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thug-club-1.md) - [Reimagined Sneaker Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-adidas-superstar-ii.md) - [90s-Inspired Bulky Skateboard Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-xlg.md) - [Fringe-Detailed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abra.md) - [City-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lathemed-superstar-ii.md) - [Formal-Ready Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-and-adidas.md)
