The black laces and soles and the brighter orange detailing on the wings add to the basketball-like look.

These Adidas x Jeremy Scott Originals are just out-there enough that they are an instant collector classic, but not too extreme to be worn -- perfect for shoe fanatics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Basketball-inspired Sneakers:** Create basketball-inspired sneakers using unique design elements, such as winged embellishments or textures resembling basketball leather. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Collaborate with renowned designers to create limited edition sneaker collections that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs. - **Online Sneaker Culture:** Tap into the growing online sneaker culture by creating unique and eye-catching designs that attract passionate sneaker enthusiasts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Incorporate innovative design elements into the footwear industry by creating basketball-inspired sneakers with unique features. - **Fashion and Design:** Collaborate with renowned designers to create limited edition sneaker collections that combine fashion and functionality. - **E-commerce:** Leverage the online sneaker culture by offering exclusive and eye-catching designs through e-commerce platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Basketball-Shaped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Leather Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeremy-scott-and-adidas.md) - [Dynamic Fashion-Forward Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-sneaker-1.md) - [Basketball-Honoring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bb-4000-li-basketball-shoes.md) - [Bubble-Like Semi-Transparent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-bubble.md) - [Red-Accented Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway.md) - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md) - [Hot Pink Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-blend.md) - [Stealthy Dynamic Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-iiinfinity.md)
