Taking on the silhouette of the footwear company's [classic six-inch boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier-x-timberland), the collaboration boasts a strikingly original design. For the construction, SANKUANZ and [Timberland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-x-timberland) used [smooth white leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot) for the upper. The contrasting blue elements are, without a doubt, what makes this shoe stand out. The brands outfit the footwear offering with a deep blue rear collar where 'SANKUANZ' is present through embroidery. Moreover, the eyestay of the white Timberlands is made of clear plastic and a gradient is introduced there that moves from clear to baby blue. The item is complete with blue shoelaces. The slick white Timberlands are set to be released alongside SANKUANZ' Spring/Summer 2020 collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Blue-accented Boot Designs:** The use of contrasting blue elements in boot designs creates a strikingly original and attention-grabbing look. - **Collaborative Fashion Partnerships:** Collaborations between fashion brands and footwear companies offer opportunities for innovative and unique design collaborations. - **Gradient Coloration in Footwear:** Introducing gradients in the coloration of footwear, like the clear to baby blue gradient in the eyestay, adds a modern and eye-catching element to shoe designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore collaborative partnerships to create unique and exclusive designs that capture consumer attention. - **Footwear:** Footwear companies can incorporate gradient coloration techniques to add a modern and visually appealing touch to their shoe designs. - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can curate collections featuring blue-accented boot designs that offer a fresh and unique styling option for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reworked Heritage Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-x-timberland.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Classic Summer-Ready Boatshoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bateau.md) - [Collaborative American-France Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-x-jacquemus-la-bateau.md) - [Textured Winter-Ready Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-3.md) - [Workwear-Themed Fashion Team-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-4.md) - [High Fashion Workwear Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-and-timberland.md) - [Rebellious Camo Boot Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier-x-timberland.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Boot Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier.md)
