# Parisian Pro Tennis Kicks The colette x NikeLab Celebrates the Return of Maria Sharapova By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-05-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colette-x-nikelab References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/05/colette-x-nikelab-nikecourt-zoom-vapor-tour-9-and-tennis-classic) Designed for Maria Sharapova to wear in defending her title at the 2015 French Open, the collete x NikeLab collaboration boasts two unique professional tennis shoes. Both sets of [stylish sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers) will appeal to avid tennis players and Sharapova or collete fans alike. The NikeCourt Zoom Vapor Tour 9 boast Nike Lunarlon and Adaptive Fit construction technology and are designed with peak performance in mind. The NikeCourt Tennis Classic follows the traditional design as it is inspired by conventional tennis shoe designs, while it is reinvigorated by the collete blue. Both pairs from the [collete x NikeLab capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t500-1) include the iconic logo of the Parisian cult retailer, with both shoes channeling the brand's signature blue hue. The sneakers make great use of the latest Nike technology making them particularly lightweight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Professional Tennis Shoe Collaboration:** Opportunity for more collaborations combining fashion and technology in sports footwear. - **Adaptive Fit Technology in Tennis Shoes:** Opportunity to develop and integrate technology for customized and comfortable fit in tennis shoes. - **Fashion-inspired Tennis Shoes:** Opportunity for premium fashion brands to create tennis shoes that appeal to both professional and casual players. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sporting Goods Industry:** Opportunity to create partnerships with fashion designers and invest in research for innovative sports footwear. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity to venture into the sports footwear market and collaborate with sports companies. - **Technology Industry:** Opportunity to develop and integrate technology for customized and comfortable fit in various shoe categories beyond sports footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Stylish Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-pro-2.md) - [Ultra-Slick Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-20-sneakers.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Tennis Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-clubhouse-pro.md) - [Heritage Tennis Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-tennis-runways.md) - [Eye-Catching Modern Tennis Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-tennis-collection.md) - [Performance-Ready Stylish Tennis Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineshot.md) - [Elevated Fall Tennis Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-fw25-tennis.md) - [Tennis-Inspired Skate Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setinn-x-vans.md) - [Women-Only Tennis Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-intrigue.md)
