The Vans Holiday 2009 Cow Hair Pack is nice to look at, but I am wondering how these would affect busting out a kick flip? If Vans decides to make a cowboy boot, I just don’t know what I am going to do. Available in [slip-on or lace-up style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harbor-mule-slipon), you can check out more on the Vans Holiday 2009 Cow Hair Pack at the links below. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal Print Footwear:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to combine animal prints with different shoe designs and materials. - **Novelty Footwear:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create more footwear designs that break away from traditional patterns and materials. - **Sustainable Fur Alternatives:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and market more sustainable alternatives to animal fur in fashion and footwear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on this trend by incorporating animal prints in new and creative ways. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can capitalize on this trend by experimenting with unconventional patterns and materials. - **Animal Rights:** The animal rights industry can capitalize on this trend by promoting and advocating for more sustainable and cruelty-free options in fashion and footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md) - [Asymmetrical Skate Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billys-x-vans-year-of-the-horse.md) - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md) - [Cow-Print Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-1.md) - [Fashion-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-skool-36-souvenir.md) - [Cow Print Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-field-general.md) - [Premium Textural Skate Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skate-half-cab.md) - [Textural Update Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-quan-1.md) - [Knitted Heritage Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-pack.md)
