This particular collaboration has resulted in the release of two new Nike SB shoes named the Nike SB Koston Hyperfeel 3 and the Nike SB Koston 1 respectively. Both of these beautiful sneakers are squarely targeted in the direction of skateboarders both in terms of their aesthetic appeal as well as their materials and shapes. These new Nike SB shoes' designs ensure that they will appeal to both skateboarders and casual sneaker-heads. Indeed this is a shoe that welcomes people to try out new sneaker styles, rather than marketing itself to a particular crowd only. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Nike SB Skateboarding Shoes:** Release of distinctively designed skateboard shoes targeting both skateboarders and casual sneaker-heads. - **Collaborative Urban Fashion Lines:** Collaborations between urban fashion giants and designers/authors for unique product offerings. - **Sneakerhead Culture:** Growing culture around collecting, displaying, and trading limited edition sneakers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** Innovative designs and material choices for skateboarding shoes work to target both professional skateboarders and casual sneaker-heads, increasing customer base. - **Fashion Industry:** Collaborations between fashion giants and designers work to create unique product offerings that appeal to a wider audience. - **Sports Industry:** Collaborations between clothing and footwear brands aim to meet the specific needs of athletes, leading to innovative product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps8-skate-sneaker.md) - [Aqua-Tonal Textural Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-sneaker.md) - [Stealthy Collaborative Skate Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3.md) - [Olympic-Inspired Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-olympic-safari.md) - [Boldly Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway.md) - [Summer-Ready Bright Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway.md) - [Laceless Textural Mid-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorr-greenwood.md) - [Stylish Footwear Collab Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-x-nike-sb-dunk-low.md) - [Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-money-savings-colorway.md)
