The Supra NS Spring 2010 Strapped II retains the same four-strap design as the original Strapped, but has a taller cuff and lower-profile sole. Over the next couple of months the Strapped II will be released in Black Full-grain Leather, Grey Canvas and Acid Wash Denim versions. One day I will rock Acid Wash Denim Supras. One day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Strap-focused Footwear:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for shoe designers to create new footwear with unique and functional strap designs. - **High-cuff Shoes:** There is an emerging trend of shoes with taller cuffs that can serve as a fashion statement or provide additional ankle support in athletic settings. - **Multi-material Shoes:** Incorporating a mix of materials, such as leather and denim, into shoe designs can create visually unique footwear with added durability and enhanced performance. ### Who This Affects Most - **Athletic Footwear:** Athletic shoe manufacturers could integrate straps and high cuffs to create improved performance footwear for specific sports, such as ankle support for basketball shoes. - **Fashion Footwear:** Fashion designers can explore strap-focused footwear to create unique looks and statement pieces to attract trendy and fashion-conscious consumers. - **Skateboarding Industry:** The mix of materials present in the Supra NS Strapped II, such as full-grain leather and canvas, provide durability and added functionality, creating potential for cross-over appeal in the skateboarding industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spring-Ready Stealthy Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn.md) - [Athletic Tabi-Style Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-red-2.md) - [Slingback-Heel Zipped Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze-1.md) - [Buckled Leather Split-Toe Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buckle-strap.md) - [Crisp Tonal Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-step-2-sneaker.md) - [Velcro-Enclosed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hal-studios-1.md) - [Vibrant Orange Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-step-2.md) - [Boldly Designed Zipped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-sunder.md) - [Bold Patterned Luxurious Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelds-trainer-14.md)
