# Video Game Sports Shoes The Nike Madden 11 Trainer is a Fitting Football Tribute By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-madden-11-trainer References: [solecollector](http://www.solecollector.com/niketraining/?p=1753) Get ready for the upcoming NFL season with the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-snes) Madden 11 Trainer. Nike has collaborated with [EA Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fc-25) to release this pigskin-inspired shoe just in time for the opening of the 2010 NFL season. The Nike Madden 11 Trainer is a pretty incredible shoe. The shoes are covered in leather (like a football) and feature the EA sports logo on the tongue. My favorite feature of this shoe is the passing play that is etched on the heel. Check out the gallery to see all the pictures of this awesome tribute shoe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Football-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity for sports apparel brands to design innovative shoes that pay homage to specific sports. - **Collaborative Brand Partnerships:** Chance for companies to collaborate with popular brands to create unique products. - **Athlete Endorsements:** Potential for athletes to endorse footwear that combines their sport with fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel companies can explore new design possibilities by incorporating elements from sports into their products. - **Gaming:** Gaming companies can partner with fashion brands to create merchandise that appeals to both gamers and fashion enthusiasts. - **Sporting Goods:** Sporting goods companies can create limited-edition products that cater to sports fans and collectors alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Brand-Made Arenas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fc-25.md) - [Video Game Console Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-snes.md) - [Retro-Tinged Revived Football Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-sneaker.md) - [Football League-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn8-sneaker-2.md) - [Futuristic Metallic Football Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-1.md) - [Dynamic Sporty Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falcons-colorway.md) - [Football Boot-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-tiempo.md) - [Athlete-Backed Sports Training Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tr1.md) - [In-Game Digital Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-fortnite.md)
