# Geometric Patterning Sneaker Designs Y-3 and adidas Revive the Classic Yuuto Sneaker in Black By Amy Duong | Published 2019-07-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuuto References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/7/adidas-y-3-yuuto-black-red-sneaker-release-information) & [aphrodite1994](https://www.aphrodite1994.com/y-3-yuuto-trainers-black-19514) [Y-3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural) joins [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-stan-smith) to bring back the classic Yuuto sneaker model, retaining most of the retro-futuristic design elements that the original look delivered. The latest drop arrives in an all-black colorway and highlights the geometric design accents across the uppers and the midsoles. Y-3's Yohji Yamamoto brings back the model and adorns the triple black look with some contrasting details in red to mark the collaborative lin's branding. The model is split into two different sections, complete with a coated textile material over the uppers at the front. The vamp and tongue feature a rubberized lock and the back feature geometric plastic overlaying details and mesh materials. This all sits atop an [adiPRENE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sand-colorway) sole unit constructed from lightweight EVA that delivers impact absorption and support. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Retro-futuristic Design:** Embrace the revival of retro-futuristic design elements to create unique and nostalgic products. - **Geometric Accenting:** Incorporate geometric design accents in product aesthetics to add visual interest and modern appeal. - **Contrasting Details:** Use contrasting colors and materials to create eye-catching and dynamic product designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Footwear:** Apply geometric patterning and retro-futuristic design elements in the fashion footwear industry to attract style-conscious consumers. - **Sportswear:** Integrate geometric accenting and contrasting details in sportswear products to enhance performance and aesthetic appeal. - **Collaborative Branding:** Collaborate with other brands to create exclusive products with unique design elements and storytelling opportunities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organic Sleek Avant-Garde Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural.md) - [Off-White Chunky Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-x-20.md) - [Rounded Heel Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idoso-boost.md) - [Neutral Stealthy Trail Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marathon-tr.md) - [Chunky Collaborative Fashionable Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3.md) - [Sleek Hybrid Boot Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohji-yamamoto-2.md) - [Revived Dynamic Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3.md) - [Chunky Hybrid Boot Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-kyasu-overboot.md) - [Ultra-Plump Sleek Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruku.md)
