Serpent-Inspired Skate Shoes

The Graffiti Irridescent Nike Sb Air 1 Jordan Caters to Skaters

— March 10, 2014 — Fashion
Air Jordans remain to be an iconic yet ever-changing sneaker; now Nike has teamed with skateboard colleagues to create the Nike SB Air Jordan 1.

Nike is changing the game and has created a shoe that will appeal to skaters. With the help of artist Craig Stecyk, the shoe embodies the classic Jordan sole while also having recognizable Nike features. These high tops come in black and green and boast an iridescent-like finish. The back is branded with graffiti-style print that reads, "AJ One SB."

These timeless shoes are ideal for skaters because of their high top design and thick gripped soul. The loose fit makes it comfortable to skate without being constrictive. These shoes add style and a clean look to any wardrobe, while keeping things nostalgic with the commemorative brand.
Trend Themes
1. Skateboarding-inspired Sneakers - The collaboration between Nike and skateboard colleagues highlights the trend of creating sneakers specifically designed for skaters, combining iconic styles with skateboarding functionality.
2. Iridescent Shoe Finish - The iridescent-like finish on the Nike SB Air Jordan 1 introduces a trend of using unique and eye-catching shoe finishes to appeal to fashion-forward consumers.
3. Graffiti-style Branding - The graffiti-style print on the back of the shoes signifies a growing trend of incorporating street art aesthetics into shoe designs, creating a sense of urban and edgy style.
Industry Implications
1. Sportswear and Athletic Footwear - The collaboration between Nike and skateboard colleagues opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for sportswear and athletic footwear companies to create specialized sneakers that meet the unique demands of skaters without compromising style and comfort.
2. Fashion and Streetwear - The iridescent shoe finish trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion and streetwear brands to incorporate visually striking and attention-grabbing finishes into their product lines, appealing to fashion-forward consumers seeking unique and cutting-edge designs.
3. Art and Design - The graffiti-style branding trend offers disruptive innovation opportunities for art and design industries to collaborate with shoe manufacturers and explore the fusion of urban art aesthetics with functional footwear, creating artistic and fashion-forward shoe designs.
