Every year, many trendy sneakers take the world by storm and revolutionize the sneaker industry. Several celebrities and other influential people are responsible for starting new fashion trends, and a large number of them have been spotted wearing trendy sneakers. People look up to these personalities and strive to have the same fashion sense that they do, which has increased the demand for the sneakers that these figures wear.

It features a netted foundation and leather side panels with a wavelike pattern.
Corteiz branding is embroidered on the lateral forefoot and heel of these trendy sneakers, while the Alcatraz logo is embroidered on the tongue patch of the shoe. Lightweight cushioning is provided by a polyurethane midsole that has been completely blacked out, providing a striking contrast to the exposed Air-sole units that have been tinted yellow.

The New Balance 860v2 Aime Leon Dore Green features a green upper with sea salt highlights, metallic gold, silver embellishments, and what appears to be modified New Balance branding on the tongue. The shoe also has a sea salt sole unit.
In order to create even more contrast, the shoes feature mesh in a cream color for the vamp of the shoe, while the sides rest on top of white mesh bases. The base layers, which are comprised of varying hues of gray and cream, serve as the backdrop for red, green, or blue highlights, making the shoes one of the trendiest sneakers of the year.
The well-known Santis imprint is present on the upper portion of the tongue, and the company's trademark font features on the sock liners as part of the co-branding. Moreover, underneath the foot, the widely recognized N-energy cushioning provides responsive shock absorption.

According to James Arizumi, who serves as the Global Senior Design Director for Jordan Brand Special Projects, "The Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 is a way for two communities of sport to pay respect to one another. It also represents the collision of basketball, skate culture, and style that brings them both together."

The sneaker's upper and sole unit are both painted in the collection's color palette, which includes "Tinge," "Theory," "Realm," "Sanddrift," "Quicksand," and "Black." The breathable mesh bases take on a bluish-green hue, which works well with the shades of gray and off-white featured on the pair.
