# Cream-Colored Skate Footwear The Sabalo Silhouette Joins the adidas Skateboarding Shoe Range By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-skateboarding-shoe References: [adidas](http://www.adidas.com/us/skateboarding) The high-performing and stylish [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes) Skateboarding shoe line is complemented with the newly released Sabalo silhouette which was co-designed with team rider Diego Nájera. The model is inspired by the fisheye lens which is a popular cinematic approach when filming a skate edit. The style nods to this through Sabalo's foxing tape. Moreover, Diego Nájera was interested in creating a [minimalist and sophisticated silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standard-issue), hence the shoe is cream-colored with contrasting branding embellishments and its construction is informed by a pair of Raf Simons x Stan Smiths that the skater is very fond of. Like other [adidas Skateboarding shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skate-rowley), the Sabalo does not sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. The silhouette boasts a vulcanized sole, a sticky geoflex rubber outsole, and an improved adiprene sock liner — all features that ensure durability, grip, and support. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Cinematic-inspired Design:** Opportunity to create products that draw inspiration from different cinematic approaches, offering unique and eye-catching aesthetics. - **Minimalist Silhouettes:** Potential for designing minimalist and sophisticated designs that appeal to consumers looking for clean and timeless aesthetics. - **Functional Fashion:** The demand for products that combine style with functionality, ensuring durability, grip, and support for active consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Skateboarding Industry:** Opportunity for the skateboarding industry to collaborate with designers to create innovative and stylish footwear that caters to the needs of skateboarders. - **Fashion Industry:** Potential for fashion brands to explore collaborations with skateboarding brands, merging athletic functionality with fashion-forward designs. - **Cinematic and Media Production Industry:** Possibility for cinematic and media production companies to develop merchandise inspired by different cinematic approaches, expanding their brand offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Asymmetric Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes.md) - [Textural Festive Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-collection.md) - [Chunky Elevated Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-model.md) - [Glossy Calf Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaschetta-tan.md) - [Lacy Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pattern.md) - [Vintage Suede-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sporty-rich-1.md) - [Beachtown-Inspired Pastel Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-indoor-2.md) - [Collaborative Chunky Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/always-do-what-you-should-do-1.md) - [Colorful Patchwork Collab Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sambae-sneaker.md)
