# Nomadic High-Tops The Visvim Tekke Skagway Hi Carpet Sneaker Looks Like an Oriental Rug By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-03-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visvim-tekke-skagway-hi-carpet References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/03/06/visvim-tekke-skagway-hi-carpet/) & [visvim](http://www.visvim.tv/) The Visvim Tekke Skagway Hi Carpet Sneaker is a vibrant cultural treat, with a ruglike upper that features a carpet pattern inspired by Turkmen nomads. The burnt red base of the pattern is accented with orange, black and white -- a versatile combination that will set off denim or black pants perfectly -- while the toe, heel and sole of the [high-top sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-94) appear in clean, crisp white. We've seen [tribal influences throughout fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso), but the Visvim Tekke Skagway Hi Carpet Sneaker is the first design I've seen to take inspiration from nomadic people and traditional carpeting.

Is this bold-patterned sneaker something you could see yourself rocking this season? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tribal-inspired Sneakers:** Opportunity for creating unique and culturally inspired footwear innovations. - **Nomadic Fashion:** Disruptive potential in designing clothing and accessories that draw inspiration from nomadic cultures. - **Patterned Footwear:** Market for creative and visually appealing footwear designs with intricate patterns. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Exploring new avenues for incorporating traditional and cultural influences in fashion design. - **Footwear:** Creating innovative and eye-catching patterns in footwear to cater to consumers seeking unique styles. - **Textile:** Opportunity for textile manufacturers to produce fabrics with intricate patterns inspired by traditional rugs and carpets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear Hiking Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-tor-summit.md) - [Shrouded Hi-Vis Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafate-three2-2.md) - [Trout-Inspired Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocaturf.md) - [Sophisticated Tassel-Detailed Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-sneaker.md) - [Vibrant Hand-Stitched Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuon-and-sashiko-gals.md) - [Bigfoot-Inspired Bizarre Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninlo.md) - [Maximalist Patterned Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906r-og.md) - [Citrus-Hued Anti-Fashion Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hoka-speed-loafer.md) - [Japanese Upcycling Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-mountain-reload-sneakers.md)
