# White Snakeskin Sneakers These Nike Shoes Feature a Realistic Snakeskin Pattern By David Ingram | Published 2015-11-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-snakeskin References: [sneakernews](http://sneakernews.com/2015/11/10/nikes-most-outlandish-roshe-run-is-inspired-by-diamondback-snakes/) & [store.nike](http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/roshe-one-diamondback-shoe/pid-10930109/pgid-11118054?mid=38660&cp=usns_aff_080113_je6NUbpObpQ&site=je6NUbpObpQ-uCwU78qfMzCDtyIT6jfvOw&ref=http://sneakernews.com/2015/11/10/nikes-most-outlandish-roshe-run-is-inspired-by-diamondback-snakes/) Nike once again brings a reptilian inspiration to its sneaker line, but this time, the pattern comes in a stark white snakeskin design. This scaly 'Diamondback' sneaker pattern realistically recreates the look of actual snakeskin in a snowy white color. The white-on-white colorway release will only be limited to women's shoe sizes, and will be available in both the 'Roshe Run' and 'Blazer Mid' shoe silhouettes. An interesting take on the snake pattern, the clean white colored aesthetic contrasts nicely with the textured reptile exterior of the shoe. The white snakeskin 'Roshe Run' features a lightweight and minimalist design that offers improved comfort and cushioning. The Nike 'Blazer Mid' offers a more urban shoe silhouette with a high-top collar and classic retro feel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Realistic Snakeskin Patterns:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate realistic snakeskin patterns into their product designs. - **Limited Edition Releases:** Opportunity for companies to create buzz and exclusivity through limited edition releases of their products. - **Contrasting Aesthetics:** Opportunity for brands to experiment with contrasting aesthetics, such as combining clean white colors with textured reptile patterns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate realistic snakeskin patterns into their clothing, accessories, and footwear collections. - **Sportswear:** Sportswear companies can release limited edition sneakers with unique patterns and designs to appeal to sneaker enthusiasts. - **Streetwear:** Streetwear brands can experiment with contrasting aesthetics to create unique and eye-catching clothing and footwear designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Stylish Snakeskin Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/python-sambas.md) - [Snakeskin-Textural Soccer Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-2.md) - [Scale Texture Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake.md) - [Snake-Honoring Whimsical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-11-low.md) - [Snakeskin Indoor Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-olive-aura.md) - [All-White Textural Futuristic Shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-white-colorway.md) - [Silver Accent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-whitemetallic-silver.md)
