The apparel company has tasked 10 female designers with creating a series of 50 patterns for the [Ultraboost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori) sneaker — one design for every state in the US. Each of the ten chosen artists was assigned five states, and they had to remake the all-white [Adidas Ultraboost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stepn-go-x-adidas-ultraboost) to represent the particularities of their charges. Some of the results are visually pleasing in the own right, while others make explicit and tongue-in-cheek references to the states in question. The New Jersey shoe, for example, has a leather slice of pizza sewn onto it, and the Maine sneaker is pink with an embossed lobster claw. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Female Designers for Sneakers:** Apparel companies are collaborating with female designers to bring new and unique sneaker designs that appeal to customers. - **Patriotic Apparel:** Companies are combining fashion and patriotism to create apparel that resonates with its customers. - **State-specific Products:** Companies are creating products unique to specific states that appeal to customers with ties to that particular geography. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands are constantly exploring new and innovative concepts to create collections that excite customers. - **Sports:** Apparel companies are creating unique and technologically advanced sports apparel to boost customers' performance and style. - **Tourism:** Tourism companies are collaborating with local artists and designers to create state-specific merchandise to attract tourists to that particular region. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md) - [Game-Inspired Breathable Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-collection.md) - [Country-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-street-tf.md) - [Grandma-Inspired Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-couch-2-rivalry-lo.md) - [Boldly Tonal Patient-Designed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-doernbecher-freestyle.md) - [Redesigned Flagship Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x.md) - [Celebratory Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-west-nyc.md) - [3D-Scanned Sports Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-statues.md)
