# Slick Emerald Green Sneakers The adidas Skateboarding x Tyshawn Jones Shoes are Performance-Ready By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-07-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emerald-green-sneakers References: [adidas](http://www.adidas.com/us/skateboarding) The collaboration between [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sp5der-x-adidas) and team rider Tyshawn Jones results in a pair of eye-catching emerald green sneakers that are tested by the skateboarding pro himself. The silhouette is created with reference to the expertise of Scott Johnson — a former pro skater and Footwear Design Director. The emerald green sneakers are stylistically balanced by the whiteness of the sole and adidas' iconic three stripes. The silhouette is performance-ready as the designers completed it with an Adituff reinforced toe, an inner Vulc wrap, a PU-molded sock liner, as well as a memory foam tongue to ensure optimum adaptability. To enhance the effect of the footwear debut, the collaborators supplement the launch with two apparel pieces for Fall/Winter 2019, as well as a visual short filmed by Jones, Willaim Strobeck. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Emerald Green Sneakers:** The collaboration between adidas and Tyshawn Jones showcases the trend of eye-catching emerald green sneakers. - **Performance-ready Shoes:** The adidas Skateboarding x Tyshawn Jones Shoes exemplify the trend of performance-ready footwear designed with advanced features for optimal adaptability. - **Skateboarder Collaborations:** The partnership between adidas and Tyshawn Jones reflects the trend of collaborations between skateboarding pros and major sneaker brands. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sportswear:** The adidas and Tyshawn Jones collaboration presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the sportswear industry, specifically in the design and performance aspects of sneakers. - **Fashion:** The emerald green sneakers and accompanying apparel pieces highlight the potential for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry, as brands tap into unique color palettes and creative collaborations. - **Skateboarding:** The adidas Skateboarding x Tyshawn Jones collaboration showcases the potential for disruptive innovation within the skateboarding industry, particularly in the intersection of fashion and performance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Richly Green-Toned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-retro-1-high.md) - [Collaborative Shell-Toe Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sp5der-x-adidas.md) - [Rich Green Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-993-1.md) - [Stealthy Iridescent Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-night.md) - [Emerald Street Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-elphaba.md) - [Minimal Sleek Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-sneaker.md) - [Collaborative Asymmetric Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-shoes.md) - [Shaggy Suede Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-x-adidas-forest-hills.md) - [Trail-Ready Suede Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xalp-suede.md)
