Stylish Everyday Trainers

LANE EIGHT's Trainer AD 1 is Performance-Driven & Aesthetically Pleasing

— August 17, 2018 — Fashion
It is often the case that one has to sacrifice function for style and vice versa but that is not the case with LANE EIGHT's everyday trainers. The brand's latest AD 1 silhouette is a design that is meant to address an existing gap between "normal, everyday athletes" and "world-class performance athletes." The result is an incredibly stylish footwear model that is a true combination of urban aesthetic and functional construction.

On one hand, the everyday trainers boast a knitted upper, ensuring a snug sock-like fit that will ultimately contribute to the adaptability of the silhouette to the foot. In addition, the outsole's hardwearing rubber offers a superior grip. On the other hand, the everyday trainers embrace urbanist-forward fashion and the unisex dust rose colorway makes a strong stylish statement.
Trend Themes
1. Performance-driven Everyday Trainers - Opportunity for brands to create trainers that prioritize both style and function, bridging the gap between everyday athletes and performance athletes.
2. Urban Aesthetic in Footwear - Potential for designers to combine urban fashion with functional construction to create stylish everyday trainers.
3. Knitted Upper for Snug Fit - Innovation opportunity to develop trainers with knitted uppers for a sock-like fit and adaptability to the foot.

2. Fashion - Potential for fashion industry to incorporate urbanist-forward designs into everyday trainers, offering consumers a stylish statement piece.
3. Textile Manufacturing - Innovation opportunity for textile manufacturers to develop knitted materials that provide a snug fit and adaptability for footwear.
