The Supra Skytop II is a high-top sneaker that screams retro style. These kicks have a bit of the Nike [Air Max 95](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-turquoise) design influence, complete with two shades of gray, highlighted by neon yellow on the sole and shoelaces. For those who find the gray too monotonous, Supra will be releasing different colors for the Skytop II in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Retro-inspired Sneakers:** Opportunity for companies to create high-top sneakers with nostalgic design influences. - **Neutral Tone Footwear:** Potential for brands to develop sneakers with neutral color palettes to cater to minimalist fashion trends. - **Customizable Sneaker Collections:** Potential for companies to offer sneakers with interchangeable color options to cater to individual preferences. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Footwear:** Opportunity for companies in the athletic footwear industry to introduce retro-inspired high-top sneakers. - **Fashion Retail:** Potential for fashion retailers to offer neutral tone sneakers to cater to minimalist fashion preferences. - **Customization Services:** Opportunity for companies providing customization services to collaborate with sneaker brands offering interchangeable color options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bold Tonal Gradient Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-6.md) - [Retro Gradient-Detailed Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courtposite.md) - [Greyscale Leather Speckled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fear-colorway-1.md) - [Taupe-Tinged Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irregular-shadow-colorway.md) - [Neutral-Colored Y2K Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-p6000-premium.md) - [Stealthy Monochromatic Court Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killshot-2-sneaker.md) - [Monochormatic Grey Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnyc-4.md) - [Cool-Tonal LIfestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abzorb-2000.md) - [Futuristic Silver Tonal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazy-2.md)
