# Wood-Inspired Sneaker Reworks These New Nike Air Force 1 Lows Have Detachable Accent Pieces By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-12-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodinspired References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/12/nike-air-force-1-low-lv8-white-vachetta-tan) & [snkrs](http://www.snkrs.com/fr/nike/sneakers-air-force-1-07-lv8-whitevachetta-tan-5895.html) These wood-inspired [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-camo) [Air Force 1 Lows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-phantom) stay true to the classic model's well-loved silhouette while diverting from it slightly for a bit of a more contemporary look. The sportswear giant manages this by incorporating a few light brown accents onto the otherwise all-white sneakers. Not only do the accents bring a modern edge to the look overall, but they contrast with the rest of the sneakers for more variance as well. For those looking to keep their look extra simple, the accents on the tongue can be detached. When the wood-inspired labels are taken off, what's left is exposed [Velcro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-mafate-three2), which has Nike's branding embroidered into it as well. The brand's markings are also included on the sides of the sneakers, on the heel and inside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wood-inspired Sneakers:** The incorporation of wood-inspired accents on sneakers offers a modern and contemporary look. - **Detachable Accent Pieces:** The option to detach accent pieces from sneakers provides added versatility and customization to the design. - **Exposed Velcro Branding:** The use of exposed Velcro with embroidered branding creates a unique and eye-catching feature on sneakers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can explore the trend of incorporating wood-inspired accents to create innovative and stylish sneaker designs. - **Fashion Retail:** The fashion retail industry can embrace the trend of detachable accent pieces to cater to consumer demand for customizable and personalized products. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** The footwear manufacturing industry can capitalize on the use of exposed Velcro branding to differentiate their products and attract customers with unique design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textured Seasonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-camo.md) - [Silver Accent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-whitemetallic-silver.md) - [Dark Denim Rework Sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonal-black-denim.md) - [Minimal Contrast Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-khaki.md) - [Faux Dirty Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white.md) - [Low-Profile Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-phantom.md) - [Pearlescent Soft Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-pearl-colorway.md) - [Textural Canvas Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack.md) - [Slip-On Sneaker-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-force-1-lover-wilds.md)
