# Exploration-Themed Footwear Editorials The Alltimers x adidas Skateboarding Drop is Seven-Piece By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-08-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-skateboarding-drop References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/8/alltimers-adidas-skateboarding-fall-winter-2019-discovery-collection-release) & [adidas](https://www.adidas.com/us/alltimers) The latest Alltimers x adidas Skateboarding drop features footwear, apparel, and accessories. Dubbed 'Discovery,' the release draws inspiration from the thrill of exploration. The partnership boasts two new silhouettes -- the adidas Originals ZX 4000 and the [Gazelle Super](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes). The former enjoys a vintage-style makeover with a "Clear Brown/Core Black/Collegiate Royal" colorway that is superimposed on a mixed-material upper. The latter boasts a "Cloud White" leather silhouette. In addition to these slick footwear offerings, the Alltimers x adidas Skateboarding drop also delivers a range of technical clothing and accessories -- from [graphic shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil) to a "retro-inspired lightweight jacket." Emphasis is put on aesthetics and functionality, as the pieces seek to be breathable, some even offering UPF 50 protection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Exploration-themed Footwear:** Opportunity for creating footwear that combines style with a sense of adventure and exploration. - **Vintage-style Makeover:** Opportunity for revamping classic silhouettes with a retro-inspired aesthetic for a fresh and nostalgic appeal. - **Functional Technical Clothing:** Opportunity for designing clothing that is both fashionable and functional, emphasizing breathability and protection. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create exploration-themed collections and vintage-inspired fashion pieces. - **Sporting Goods:** Opportunity for sporting goods brands to develop innovative footwear and apparel for skateboarding and other adventure sports. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for outdoor recreation brands to incorporate fashion-forward and functional elements into their exploration-themed merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Technical Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-adidas.md) - [Nature-Inspired Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori.md) - [Minimal Sleek Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-sneaker.md) - [Outdoor Explorative Trail-Tested Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skychaser-goretex.md) - [Textural Chunky Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-and-adidas-1.md) - [Celebratory Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-west-nyc.md) - [Fashion Collaborative Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-and-adidas-1.md) - [Dynamic Textural Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thug-club-1.md) - [Chunky Collaborative Fashionable Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3.md)
