The sneakers maintain the familiar silhouette of the Classic Slip-On from Vans and features a black and white color scheme that will call to mind the original Checkerboard patterns. The pattern has, however, been treated to a touch of psychedelic swirling that shifts the finish as well as the tonne of the shoe for a truly mind-bending aesthetic. The Vans UA Classic Slip-On Twist Checkerboard sneakers have a cream-colored finish on the sides and are likely to be a coveted new option amongst hip footwear enthusiasts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Psychedelic Sneaker Design:** There are opportunities for companies to create mind-bending, unique sneaker designs that incorporate psychedelic patterns and colors in a fresh way. - **Innovative Updates on Classic Styles:** Companies can innovate by updating classic shoe styles with unique twists, like the mind-bending checkerboard pattern on the Vans UA Classic Slip-On Twist Checkerboard sneakers. - **Hypnotic Footwear:** There is a growing demand for footwear that captivates and mesmerizes, offering companies the ability to create shoes that truly stand out and catch people's attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can continue to innovate and capture consumers' attention with unique and mesmerizing designs like the Vans UA Classic Slip-On Twist Checkerboard sneakers. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate hypnotic designs into their clothing and accessories to create unique looks and stand out in the crowded market. - **Streetwear:** Streetwear brands can offer unique and mind-bending designs like the Vans UA Classic Slip-On Twist Checkerboard sneakers to cater to their style-conscious and trend-savvy target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Knitted Crochet Checkerboard Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitted-half-cab.md) - [Bejeweled Checkered Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattias-gollin.md) - [Asymmetrical Slip‑on Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-vans.md) - [Hybrid Skate Slip-On Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erap-shoe.md) - [Fashion-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-skool-36-souvenir.md) - [All-Over Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anarchy-is-the-key.md) - [Formally Transformed Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastery-atelier.md) - [Dynamic Layered Patterning Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-clash-the-wall.md) - [Graphic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover.md)
