# Mismatched High-Tops The Adidas Hide and Seek from Stan Smith Break the Mold By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-03-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-hide-and-seek References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2010/03/adidas-originals-hide-seek-stan-smith-80s-tf/) & [adidas](http://www.adidas.com) I like shoes, especially sneakers, but I find them to be a little too matchy sometimes. But the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-stan) Hide and Seek Stan Smith kicks are here, and they make me want to get a pair and never take them off. The Hide and Seek shoes feature an upper that is attached with a zipper, and which can be easily removed to expose a [different color underneath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes)--meaning that you can be wearing a pair of the exact same shoe, in a different color, while only buying one pair of shoes. Yeah, and now you know why I am pumped for the Adidas Hide and Seek. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Camo-split:** Footwear with detachable and zippered parts allowing for quick and simple customization of design. - **Color-flip:** Changeable color designs on shoes, only requiring one pair to meet multiple color needs. - **Modular-sneakers:** Sneakers with interchangeable pieces, allowing consumers to create unique designs with ease. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Opportunity for innovative shoe design to disrupt the market with customizable and interchangeable pieces. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to attract consumers with customizable and color-changing merchandise. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory manufacturers to create modular, customizable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pastel Easter-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-samba-og.md) - [Sneaker-Converted Dress Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-lux.md) - [Cartoon Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-x-spongebob-squarepants.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit.md) - [Summer-Ready Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-sneakers-1.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar.md) - [Stealthy Padded Sneaker Modesl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-sneaker-1.md) - [Shaggy Suede Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-x-adidas-forest-hills.md) - [Detail-Forward Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-stan-smith-beaded.md)
