# Sci-Fi-Inspired Sneaker Styles The Adidas x Star Wars ZX 2K Boost Solo Sneaker is Character-Themed By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-09-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-star-wars References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/adidas-x-star-wars-zx-2k-boost-solo-sneaker/) & [atmos-tokyo](https://www.atmos-tokyo.com/items/fx9113) The [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-runner) x Star Wars ZX 2K Boost Solo Sneaker is a decidedly futuristic footwear option created with avid fans of the namesake sci-fi franchise in mind to help them subtly infuse a touch of intergalactic style into any outfit. The sneakers are constructed with black synthetics and TPU, which are both used to achieve a contrasting upper section that calls to mind Han Solo's iconic vest. A strap buckle sits overtop of the laces to keep everything in place, while also acting as a nod to the character's blaster-holding belt. The Adidas x Star Wars ZX 2K Boost Solo Sneaker is finished with patches throughout for fans to pick up on, but is otherwise subtle enough to be worn on a regular basis without coming off as too gimmicky. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Character-themed Sneakers:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate with popular franchises and create sneakers that appeal to fans and collectors. - **Futuristic Footwear:** Potential for shoe manufacturers to explore innovative materials and design elements to create futuristic-looking sneakers. - **Subtle Fan Fashion:** Market for fashion items that allow fans to subtly showcase their affinity for a specific franchise or character. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Opportunity for fashion brands and designers to collaborate with franchises and incorporate character-themed elements into their products. - **Footwear:** Potential for footwear manufacturers to incorporate futuristic design elements and materials to create unique and eye-catching sneakers. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Market for merchandise that allows fans to express their love for a specific franchise or character in a subtle and fashionable way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comedic Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-ghostbusters-sneakers.md) - [80s-Inspired Sci-Fi Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-romulus-reebok-bb-4000-ii-mid-shoes.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Chunky Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-runner.md) - [Bulbous Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-avavav-moonrubber-megaride.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Game-Inspired Breathable Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Sneaker Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-et-collection.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Mismatched Sci-Fi Cartoon Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-rick-and-morty-mb05.md)
