The Nike and adidas slides have a minimalist black and white colorway, which helps the contrasting branding to really pop. On one of the sandals, Nike's iconic [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2) logo is featured, while the other features adidas' three stripes. In addition to the Nike and adidas slides, Shirt NYC designed a selection of hoodies, which feature the same unique co-branded graphics. The creator has explained his custom clothing endeavors with the words, "Taking something that already exists and re-contextualizing it. Not making but choosing. Speaking with choices. Knowing the best design is as little 'design' as possible." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Co-branded Apparel:** Creating custom clothing that combines the branding of multiple sportswear giants. - **Minimalist Branding:** Using minimalist design to make contrasting branding elements stand out. - **Re-contextualizing Existing Products:** Taking existing products and giving them a new meaning or purpose through design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate and create co-branded apparel for increased appeal. - **Sportswear:** Disruption opportunity for sportswear companies to work together and create unique, collaborative products. - **Customization:** Rise in demand for custom clothing and accessories that reflect individual preferences and choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [African Craft Heritage Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-wales-bonner-adilette-slides.md) - [Hybrid Laced Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-gazelle.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Camo-Patterned Summer Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtree-edition.md) - [Roped Collaborative Hybrid Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retropy-sandals.md) - [Sculpted Next-Gen Material Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-x-staple-stratx-slides.md) - [Stealthy Red-Tonal Sporty Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-slide-2.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Cat Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-1.md) - [Modern Recovery Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-001.md)
