It is hand-polished by Italian craftsmen and it is a part of its Made in Italy series. The glazed silhouette reflects the look of classic dress shoes, bringing the lifestyle silhouette to new perspectives. At the interiors, the finish also uses buttery leather materials paired with a Sachetto-constructed insole unit. It is paired with cream accents for some tonal contrast -- this is detailed in the Three Stripes branding at the side of the shoe and the lacing system over the forefoot. It is available to purchase now on the CONFIRMED app. Image Credit: adidas ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 29% - 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) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury-lifestyle Sneakers:** The fusion of classic dress shoe aesthetics with casual sneaker designs elevates everyday footwear to high fashion status. - **Artisan-crafted Footwear:** The involvement of skilled Italian craftsmen in sneaker production highlights a growing consumer demand for artisanal quality in everyday items. - **Glossy Calf Leather:** The use of high-gloss calf leather in sneakers showcases a trend toward premium materials in traditionally casual wear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Footwear:** The incorporation of premium materials and craftsmanship in sports sneakers is redefining the boundaries of luxury footwear. - **Fashion-tech:** The integration of advanced materials and hand-polishing techniques in sneaker design is pushing the envelope in fashion technology. - **Artisanal Goods:** Handcrafted elements in mass-market items are bridging the gap between high-end handmade products and accessible retail goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Buttery Soft Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt.md) - [Textural Lifestyle Nostalgic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair.md) - [Iconic Nylon-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-og.md) - [Textural Tweed Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweed-samba.md) - [Vintage Suede-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sporty-rich-1.md) - [Chunky Elevated Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-model.md) - [Lacy Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pattern.md) - [Bow-Adorned Lace Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-1.md) - [Darkened Low-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darkened-low-top-sneakers.md)
