# Triangulated High-Tops The Adidas Hardland 'White & Multi' 2011 is a Summery Take on Average Kicks By Luke James Thomas Bradley | Published 2011-06-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-hardland-white-multi-2011 References: [endclothing](http://www.endclothing.co.uk/department/pre-orders/adidas-hardland-pre-order.html) & [adidas](http://www.adidas.com/home/ca) In July 2011, [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hal-studios-adidas) [Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dios-x-adidas-originals) will release a new colorway of one of their classic high-top concepts. The Hardland 'White & Multi' model has multicolored sole pops on a white canvas. It will be sure to turn heads. Using multiple fabrics for the uppers and subtle perforation, the shoe offers an up-to-the-minute aesthetic while still appealing to the retro crowd. Other top-notch features of the Hardland basketball sneaker include a [cut-away lacing system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pattern), tongue padding and black heel details. However, it's really the contrast between the all-white uppers and the triangulated, Afro-inspired side pattern which make these Hardlands a must-have. Perfect for summer, you will not want to get these guys scuffed! The shoes will be available at finer Adidas Originals retailers such as End Clothing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Multicolored Sole Pops:** Expanding on the use of multicolored sole pops can add a unique and eye-catching element to footwear designs. - **Up-to-the-minute Aesthetic:** Creating shoes that offer a contemporary and trendy look while still appealing to nostalgic tastes can be a strong selling point in the footwear industry. - **Triangulated Afro-inspired Patterns:** Incorporating Afro-inspired patterns in footwear designs can tap into cultural influences and appeal to a diverse range of consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Exploring innovative design elements like multicolored sole pops and Afro-inspired patterns can give footwear brands a competitive edge in the market. - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers focusing on offering up-to-the-minute aesthetic and culturally inspired footwear options can attract fashion-forward consumers. - **Athletic Apparel:** Introducing footwear with unique design features like cut-away lacing systems and tongue padding can drive sales in the athletic apparel industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biomorphic Retro Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hal-studios-adidas.md) - [Lifestyle-Catering Molded Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molded-leather.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar.md) - [Summer-Ready Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-sneakers-1.md) - [City-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lathemed-superstar-ii.md) - [Bulky Traction-Focused Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3.md) - [Classic Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-handball-spezials.md) - [Slip-On Outdoor Trail Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radlander-moc.md) - [Cool Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-jeans-adidas-gazelle.md)
