These boots look inspired by [punk rock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot) and also grunge era Dr. Martens. These sweet kicks were designed by Jun Takahashi. The Undercoverism hiking boots do not lack detail, from the chick criss-crossed laces, dou-tone toe cap and metal studs, to the two adjustable front straps. These boots don’t look like your regular hiking boots. They are available in three colourways: white, black and dusty blue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashionable Hiking Boots:** disruptive innovation opportunity for outdoor apparel brands to combine style and function in their product offerings. - **Punk and Grunge Inspired Fashion:** disruptive innovation opportunity for clothing brands to tap into the punk and grunge inspired fashion market. - **Customizable Hiking Boots:** disruptive innovation opportunity for shoe companies to offer personalized hiking boots with adjustable features like front straps and two-tone toe caps. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Apparel:** disruptive innovation opportunity for outdoor apparel brands to combine style and function in their product offerings. - **Fashion:** disruptive innovation opportunity for clothing brands to tap into the punk and grunge inspired fashion market. - **Footwear:** disruptive innovation opportunity for shoe companies to offer personalized hiking boots with adjustable features like front straps and two-tone toe caps. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rugged Field Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-boot-gtx.md) - [Chic Cyberpunk Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-air-zoom-gaiadome-goretex-digi-camo.md) - [Minimalist Fashion Hiking Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-projects-hiking-boots.md) - [Streetwear Hiking Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-tor-summit.md) - [Dynamic Gemstoned Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advisory-board-crystals-1.md) - [Weatherproof Sneaker-Like Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot.md) - [Euro-Inspired Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apww01-padmore-barnes-sport-boot.md) - [Trail-Ready Hiking Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-hiker-boot.md) - [Off-Road Military-Grade Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-offtrail-tr.md)
