Although designers have been playing with fitness fashion for some time now, this line will further push the boundaries with “[unexpected, disruptive silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-face-and-cecilie-bahnsen)," as is written on [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-fashion-collaboration). The preview image, which stars sacai designer Chitose Abe posing alongside Binx Walton, speaks volumes itself. She says, “Working with traditional silhouettes and ideas that often come from utility or performance-based sportswear, I’m interested in creating new hybrids that combine different fabrics and shapes to create an unexpected yet wearable result.” The Nikelab x sacai collection will be highly anticipated by women from all walks of life until it is launched globally on March 19 of this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Disruptive Sportswear Collections:** The NikeLab x sacai collaboration is redefining fitness fashion with unexpected, disruptive silhouettes. - **Fashion Collaboration:** Collaborations between designers and sportswear brands are pushing the boundaries of traditional silhouettes and creating new hybrids. - **Hybrid Fashion:** Creating unexpected yet wearable results by combining different fabrics and shapes is a trend that is shaping the sportswear industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear:** The Nikelab x sacai collection is set to disrupt the sportswear industry with its innovative designs. - **Fashion:** Fashion industries are seeing disruptions through collaborations, like the one between Nikelab and sacai. - **Textile:** The combination of different fabrics and shapes in the sportswear industry presents opportunities for textile manufacturers to innovate. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Workwear Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-fashion-collaboration.md) - [Athletic Wear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikeskims-collection.md) - [Collaborative Sportswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-offwhite.md) - [Collaborative Side-Laced Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magmascape.md) - [Vibrant Collaborative Trail Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zegamadome.md) - [Performance-Inspired Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering1.md) - [Contemporary Functional Athleticwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-danielle-guizio.md) - [Collaborative Fall Season Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-x-sacai.md) - [Makeup Artist-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette.md)
