Together, they adapted a pair of the American footwear company's most beloved classic models, the '[Chuck Taylor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you) All Star 70s.' Tenue de Nîmes and Converse also enlisted the expertise of Celia Geraedts, an artist from [Blue Print Amsterdam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/204l-heron-blue). According to [HYPEBEAST](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-clarkson), she was responsible for treating the sneakers "in natural Indigo from India during a production process that took four dips, four washes and four hours, giving every pair a unique finish." The end result is both elegant and distressed, with the sneakers filled with fine details that make them wholly individual. Those wishing to purchase the collaboratively adapted high-tops can find them at Tenue de Nîmes' store, as well as online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hand-dyed Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear companies to collaborate with artists and create hand-dyed, unique footwear designs - **Natural Indigo Dyeing:** Opportunity for companies to explore and implement natural dyeing techniques, such as dipping in natural indigo, to create sustainable and eco-friendly products - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate with boutiques and artists to create exclusive limited edition products that offer unique and elevated consumer experiences ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear and Fashion:** Collaborations between boutiques, artists, and footwear companies can disrupt the fashion industry and set new standards for unique and sustainable designs - **Art and Design:** Collaborations between artists, designers, and brands can create new avenues for creativity and innovation in the art and design industry - **Retail and E-commerce:** Limited edition collaborations can disrupt the retail industry by offering highly sought-after products that are exclusive and only available for a short time ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Deconstructed Canvas Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adererror.md) - [Blue-Dyed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u1500ji.md) - [Japanese Artwork Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-allstar.md) - [Singer-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-charli-xcx-by-you.md) - [Distressed Sneaker Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feng-chen-wang-and-converse.md) - [Denim-Detailed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bleached-denim-air-jordan.md) - [Artistic Naturally Dyed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso.md) - [TV-Inspired Classic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-converse.md) - [Resilient Collaboration Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-through-the-ropes.md)
