The sneakers make use of a similar retro silhouette, with chunky soles, and clean-cut leather uppers making them up. Near the laces, a minimalist Tommy Hilfiger logo is included, and the brand's name is featured on the sides of the heels as well to further distinguish it. While the majority of the sneakers boast a white monochrome colorway, the heels have paint-dipped detailing, which extended down throughout the midsole of the Tommy Hilfiger sneakers and adds a glossy contrast that helps them to standout among the many other white sneakers that saturate the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 - **Paint-dipped Sneakers:** Adding paint-dipped detailing to sneakers is a trend that creates contrast and allows for differentiation among white sneakers. - **Retro Silhouette:** Incorporating retro silhouette into sneaker design creates a trend of vintage style mixed with modern details. - **Minimalist Branding:** The trend of minimalist branding on sneakers keeps the design sleek while maintaining brand recognition. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can utilize paint-dipped detailing to create unique products that stand out in the market. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can combine vintage and modern styles to create designs that cater to individuals with varying fashion preferences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can use the minimalist branding trend on sneakers to cater to individuals who want to wear classic designs with a subtle brand presence. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pre-Worn Paint-Splattered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-5.md) - [Italy-Inspired Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-1.md) - [Faux Dirty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white.md) - [Monochromatic Suede Layered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-3.md) - [Bold Tonal Gradient Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-6.md) - [Textural Suede Colorblocked Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-panda-1.md) - [Monochromatic Metallic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-usa.md) - [Patent Leather Logo Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/550-silhouette.md) - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-mid-sneaker.md)
