The great basketball shoes keep on coming; allow me to introduce you to the Nike 2010 University Air Jordan. This Air Jordan features the signature coloring of Jordan's alma mater (UNC), and sports a semi-transparent design. I am interested.
These shoes are badass! By now you all know that I don't play basketball, but I am really tempted to start. I want to wear the 2010 University Air Jordan sneakers above so bad it hurts. Getting dunked on might hurt more, but that's just a risk I'll have to take.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Semi-transparent Footwear
- Opportunity for companies to explore design innovation by creating semi-transparent shoes to allow views of the footwear's interior.
- Collegiate Sportswear
- Opportunity for apparel brands to create collegiate sportswear lines to cater to fans of the sport and provide designs that represent the academic institutions.
- Personalized Apparel
- Opportunity for footwear companies to experiment with customization for the use of consumers, creating designs that allow for personalization, from colors to materials used.
Sectors Adopting This
- Footwear Manufacturing
- Manufacturing companies should experiment with new materials and manufacturing methods to create fashion-forward, semi-transparent shoes.
- Apparel Design
- Designers can explore innovative ways to incorporate collegiate themes and colors into sportswear designs.
- Social Media Marketing
- Brands can market and promote their sneakers and sports merchandise via social media, through influencers and authentic social media presence.
