Regally Revitalized Sneakers

These Metallic adidas Sneakers Luxuriously Reimagine a Former Model

— September 8, 2016 — Fashion
In an effort to bring consumers more variance in its 'Climacool 1' model, the company created a series of metallic adidas sneakers dubbed 'Precious Metals.'

The updated versions are available in two different colorways, one of which is gold and black, while the other is silver and black. Each of the metallic adidas sneakers is rather simplistic in the way it executes its eye-catching color scheme -- with the uppers made to be almost entirely monochromatic. The black that accents the Climacool 1s can be found on the tongue, where it helps to draw attention to adidas' branding.

Meanwhile, the brand stays true to the model's original composite, constructing the uppers from a sleek and breathable mesh and including a ventilated sock liner inside.
Trend Themes
1. Metallic Sneakers - The trend of creating metallic sneakers with simple, monochromatic uppers and attention-grabbing color schemes offers opportunities for developing unique textiles and innovative design techniques.
2. Luxury Sportswear - The trend toward incorporating metallic accents and other luxurious materials in sportswear offers opportunities to innovate with traditional athleticwear designs and create new high-end market segments.
3. Variations on Classic Models - The trend of updating and revitalizing popular sneaker models presents opportunities to experiment with new design elements while tapping into consumer nostalgia for familiar styles.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry has the opportunity to partner with athletic brands to apply high-end design and materials to sportswear, creating new markets and product lines.
2. Athletic Footwear - The athletic footwear industry has the opportunity to experiment with color schemes, materials, and design elements to revitalize classic models and attract consumers looking for unique styles.
3. Textile Manufacturing - The textile manufacturing industry has the opportunity to develop new fabrics and materials that support the trend toward metallic or other attention-grabbing designs in athletic and fashion footwear.
