# Psychedelic Snowboarding Boots Danny Kass Nike Zoom Force 1 May Induce Flashbacks By TrendHead | Published 2009-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-psych-snowboarding-boots-danny-krass-boots-for-nike-by-artist-arbito References: [viewonfashion](http://www.viewonfashion.com/article/135-2679/NIKE) & [nike](http://www.nike.com/nikesnowboarding/dk-ys/) I like the new Danny Kass Zoom Force 1 snowboarding boots for [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abominable-snowman-dunk-low). They look really psychedelic but are as modern as it gets. The illustrated design is made by artist Arbito. You will definitely be noticed on the slope in a pair of these bad boys, which are part of the signature collection for pro snowboarder Danny Kass. I think collaborating with Seattle-based artist Arbito absolutely rocks the Nike style. The artist is known for his brightly-colored hallucinogenic paintings; the artwork applied on these boots gives them a bit of [Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beatles-x-crocs-classic-clog) magic, a la the cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” The Nike collection also includes hoodies and tees in this gorgeous [psychedelic print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia). Warning: The video is pretty tripped out. Danny Kass is riding a hot dog and sucking on yellow snow… ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 91% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Psychedelic Snowboarding Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing more snowboarding gear with psychedelic designs to cater to the growing demand for unique and eye-catching snowboarding equipment. - **Artist Collaborations in Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partnering with talented artists to create limited-edition fashion items that appeal to consumers seeking unique and artistically inspired designs. - **Art-inspired Sportswear Collections:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating sportswear collections that feature artwork-inspired prints, providing a visually appealing alternative to traditional athletic apparel. ### Who This Affects Most - **Snowboarding Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating vibrant and psychedelic designs into snowboarding boots, clothing, and accessories to attract style-conscious snowboarders. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring collaborations between fashion brands and artists to produce unique, art-inspired clothing collections that resonate with fashion-forward consumers. - **Sportswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing art-inspired prints and designs in sportswear to cater to consumers who seek fashion-forward athletic apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear-Inspired Snow Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot.md) - [Fuzzy Winter-Themed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abominable-snowman-dunk-low.md) - [Chic Cyberpunk Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-air-zoom-gaiadome-goretex-digi-camo.md) - [Olympic-Inspired Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-olympic-safari.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Mohair-Laced Luxe Ski Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-boot-1.md) - [Aqua-Tonal Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps8-skate-sneaker.md)
