# Angular Monochromatic Sneakers The Pierre Hardy Vibe Sneakers Have a High-End Aesthetic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-06-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibe-sneakers References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/06/10/pierre-hardys-vibe-sneakers-embody-the-perfect-stormtrooper-aesthetic/) & [pierrehardy](https://www.pierrehardy.com/us_en/men/shoes/sneakers/rx01-vibe-sneakers-calf-black-white.html) The Pierre Hardy Vibe Sneakers have been created by the premium footwear brand as a stylish model for consumers seeking out an attention-grabbing option that still maintains a somewhat subtle aesthetic. Crafted with a gum sole and a calf-leather upper section, the sneakers have an edgy design that contrast the stark white exterior with a series of lines across the sides. This traces the shape of the shoe, while creating an almost sound wave-inspired look that is distinctly simple yet highly eye-catching when worn with a minimalist outfit. This speaks to the shift towards [statement fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-city-sneaker) that draw attention with shapes and angles instead of color. The Pierre Hardy Vibe Sneakers come in the [monochromatic Stormtrooper-esque color option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-homme-x-new-balance-860v2) as well as a gradient variety that almost has a topographical aesthetic that is slightly more subdued. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Monochromatic Sneakers:** Increasing demand for simple yet eye-catching monochromatic sneakers with unique shapes and angles create a disruptive innovation opportunity in the footwear industry. - **Minimalist Statement Fashions:** The shift towards minimalist statement fashions that draw attention with shapes and angles instead of color creates a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. - **Gradient Design:** The introduction of gradient design in sneakers that created a topographical aesthetic offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion and footwear industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** The emergence of disruptive innovation opportunities in demand for unique monochromatic sneakers creates new possibilities for the footwear industry. - **Fashion Industry:** The shift to minimalist statement fashion creates a disruptive innovation opportunity in increasing demand for simple and eye-catching fashion designs. - **Design Industry:** The introduction of gradient design in footwear industry offers innovative possibilities for creative designs that appeal to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochromatic Performance Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-on-cloudmonster-2.md) - [Contrasting Minimal Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-white-colorway.md) - [High-End Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viv-on-the-run.md) - [Patterned Chunky Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-sneaker-collaboration.md) - [Chromatic Overlaid Sleek Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-pewter.md) - [Collaboration Monochromatic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-homme-x-new-balance-860v2.md) - [Fashion-Forward Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentino-garavani-2.md) - [Artistic Naturally Dyed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso.md) - [Colorful Personality Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-cruiser-sneakers.md)
