# Custom Sneaker Mashups AMAC Customs' Yeezy Boost 350 x Nike Roshe Run is Inspired by Comparisons By Meghan Young | Published 2015-07-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-boost-350-x-nike-roshe-run References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/7/yeezy-boost-350-x-nike-roshe-run-custom-sneaker-by-amac-customs) & [amaccustoms.bigcartel](http://amaccustoms.bigcartel.com/product/yeezy-350-roshe) It has been said before and it will be said again: Kanye West's iconic [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohji-yamamoto-2) sneakers look suspiciously similar to a pair of [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-air-max) designs; that's where the [Yeezy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-800) Boost 350 x Nike Roshe Run come into play. It capitalizes on this similarity by converging the recognizable pattern of the Yeezy mesh upper with the silhouette and Boost/Phylon sole of the Roshe. Of course, the prominent swoosh on the side clearly shows which brand wins in the end. Custom designed by AMAC Customs, the Yeezy Boost 350 x Nike Roshe Run sneaker will be available in a limited edition run of 25. Priced in between the Roshe and the Yeezy, those who get their hands on a pair will only be short $179USD in the end. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Custom Sneaker Mashups:** The demand for unique combinations of popular sneaker designs creates opportunities for custom shoe designers. - **Knockoff-inspired Designs:** Capitalizing on similarities between popular products can result in unique, yet familiar designs. - **Limited Edition Runs:** Releasing a limited supply of custom designs creates a sense of exclusivity, driving demand and sales. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can benefit from offering custom designs to cater to individual tastes and preferences. - **Athletic Footwear:** Athletic footwear companies can leverage the popularity of existing designs to create unique products that appeal to fans of both brands. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can facilitate the creation and sale of custom sneaker mashups through collaborations with independent designers and manufacturers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Inspired Sneaker Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-air-max.md) - [Sleek Hybrid Boot Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohji-yamamoto-2.md) - [Off-White Chunky Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-x-20.md) - [Makeup Artist-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette.md) - [Nature-Inspired Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori.md) - [Bumblebee-Inspired Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-3.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Organic Sleek Avant-Garde Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural.md) - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md)
