# Celebratory Skateboarder Sneakers This New 'Busenitz Pro' from adidas Tributes Its History By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busenitz-pro References: [adidas](http://www.adidas.com/us/skateboarding/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/adidasskateboarding) The 'Busenitz Pro' from [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-west-nyc) Skateboarding was made with Dennis Busenitz's input. The first collaborative model between the brand and the boarder was released 10 years ago -- raising the bar for the skate footwear franchise that followed it. In an effort to celebrate the long history of the collaboration, adidas designed a fresh Busenitz Pro, which has an old school look that's reminiscent of the original's design. Subtle in appearance, the sneakers feature a white, gray and gold colorway -- with the latter utilized for lettering and artwork. As a representative of the brand explains, “From the time of Dennis joining the adidas team and the design and creativity behind his signature shoe to him closing our first-ever full length film 'Away Days' - the adidas Skateboarding’s ten-year relationship with Dennis Busenitz has been the perfect partnership.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Skateboarding Sneakers:** The trend of celebratory skateboarder sneakers is on the rise, as skateboarders are becoming more influential in fashion. - **Collaborative Footwear:** The trend of collaborative footwear is increasing, with more brands teaming up with influential individuals and athletes. - **Retro Designs:** The trend of incorporating retro designs in modern products is creating a nostalgic appeal for consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands have an opportunity to collaborate with skateboarders to create fashionable and functional footwear. - **Sports Equipment:** Sports equipment brands can partner with influential athletes to create innovative and stylish products tailored to their needs and preferences. - **Art and Design:** Art and design industries can create original and inspiring designs for skateboarders and other athletes to wear and use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-west-nyc.md) - [Collaborative Asymmetric Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes.md) - [Collaborative Chunky Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/always-do-what-you-should-do-1.md) - [Skateboarder Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-spezial-2.md) - [Streetwear Skate Remixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-future.md) - [Bronx-Honoring Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-sb-2.md) - [Fashionable Bowling-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-brain-dead-x-dsm.md) - [Skateboarder-Inspired Footwear Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyjah-4.md) - [90s-Inspired Bulky Skateboard Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-xlg.md)
