# Sailing Skater Shorts The Ahoy Shorts from Nike SB and Fourstar are Nautically Themed By Michael Hines | Published 2010-07-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ahoy-shorts References: [streetlevel](http://www.streetlevel.com/2010/07/09/nike-sb-x-fourstar-ahoy-shorts/) & [flatspotskateshop.blogspot](http://flatspotskateshop.blogspot.com/) [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway) SB and Fourstar have teamed up to create a killer pair of shorts for summer, aptly dubbed [Ahoy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chips-ahoy-mystery-cookies) shorts. These navy blue shorts have little gold captain's wheels interspersed throughout, making them worthy of any seaman. I am not normally one for shorts with stuff on them, but I am digging the design of the Ahoy shorts. The captain's wheels are a nice touch and they help separate the Ahoy shorts from the millions of other pairs of navy blue shorts that are sure to be gracing the boardwalk this summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nautical-themed Apparel:** Designing clothing with maritime motifs can attract consumers who seek a distinctive style in summer fashion. - **Collaborative Design:** Collaborating with another label can create opportunities to innovate and produce unique clothing items that are different from what is traditionally offered. - **Customized Shorts Designs:** Offering customers the ability to customize shorts with unique designs, such as captain's wheels, can provide consumers with a personalized look that suits their style preferences. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and retailers can incorporate nautical-inspired designs and collaborate with other fashion labels to create differentiated products for customers. - **Custom Clothing:** Clothing companies can offer customers the ability to personalize and customize garments, such as shorts, with unique and unconventional designs. - **Lifestyle Clothing:** Companies can market a distinctive style of clothing that caters to individuals who seek a unique and authentic aesthetic, such as maritime or nautical-themed apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Olympic-Inspired Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-olympic-safari.md) - [Summer-Ready Bright Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway.md) - [Hybrid Short Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-short.md) - [Breathable Textured Tweed Shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linen-tweed-apres-shorts.md) - [Skateboarder-Inspired Footwear Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyjah-4.md) - [Aqua-Tonal Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps8-skate-sneaker.md) - [Adaptable Summer Lifestyle Shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equator-cargo-hybrid-short.md)
