The classic design receives a modern makeover and arrives in two colorway options of either black or khaki. The uppers of both tonal iterations are completely constructed from [GORE-TEX materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-2002r), which gives the outdoorsy footwear model a waterproof element that still ensures breathability. The foundation is a [Vibram sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-trail-junction-sneakers) that is resistant to any abrasion and delivers strong grips. Notably, both of the colorways get a bright contrasting touch in the form of the lace loops, adorned in a metallic red, which runs throughout the tongue to the toe box. The laces are also speckled with red accents, with the option of solid tonal laces as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Collaborative Outdoor Footwear:** The collaboration between Snow Peak and Danner Japan showcases the potential for brands in the outdoor industry to collaborate on innovative and stylish footwear designs. - **GORE-TEX Technology:** The use of GORE-TEX materials in the construction of the boots highlights the trend of waterproof and breathable footwear for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Contrasting Accents in Outdoor Footwear:** The addition of metallic red lace loops and speckled red accents on the laces demonstrates the trend of incorporating bold and eye-catching design elements in rugged footwear. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Apparel:** The outdoor apparel industry can explore partnerships and collaborations to create innovative and fashionable boots that cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Footwear manufacturers can innovate by incorporating advanced materials like GORE-TEX and designing boots that provide both waterproof protection and breathability. - **Sports and Adventure Retail:** Sports and adventure retailers can tap into the demand for rugged outdoor footwear by offering products that feature unique design accents and technical performance features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Weatherproof Sneaker-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot.md) - [Collaboration Gold-Colored Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-danner-mountain-600-gtx.md) - [Rugged Field Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-boot-gtx.md) - [Rugged Collaborative Trail Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-mash-field-boot-gtx.md) - [Refined Field Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-boots-gtx.md) - [Collaboration Modular Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niobium-concept-3.md) - [60s-Style Mountaineer Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-danner-mountain-moc-917.md) - [Carabiner-Equipped Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-swany-x-timberland-boots.md) - [Performance Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailgrip-apex2-gtx.md)
