Now it has debuted its NTM x Sneaker Tight, which is inspired by the shoe. Embracing the rainbow colorway by having the lines spiral up the leg in a stylish and flattering way, these tights will inspire women to pick up their workouts with gusto for more than one reason. In addition to the lines, the NTM x Sneaker Tight boasts an overall ethereal wave pattern all over the leg. This fluid visual may inspire the wearer to enjoy a more fluid workout themselves. Currently available in North America, Western Europe and China, the NTM x Sneaker Tight is made out of Nike [Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trubar-pro) fabric. It is part of the Tight of the Moment collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Trainer-inspired Sportswear:** The popularity of the Nike Free Transform Flyknit has created a growing trend for athletic wear inspired by shoes. - **Colorful Athletic Leggings:** Athletic leggings with bold colourful designs, such as the rainbow spiral lines of the NTM x Sneaker Tight, are becoming increasingly popular. - **Fluid Workout Apparel:** The wave pattern of the NTM x Sneaker Tight and other fluid patterns are ushering in a trend for workout clothing that encourages more fluid and graceful movements. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Wear:** The athletic wear industry could benefit from adopting trainer-inspired designs and colorful patterns like those seen in the NTM x Sneaker Tight. - **Fitness Apparel:** Fitness apparel companies could explore new designs and materials that encourage fluid movements and graceful workouts. - **Sporting Goods Retail:** Sporting goods retailers could offer a wider selection of colorful and trainer-inspired athletic wear, appealing to customers looking to stay on-trend while working out. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [High-Tech Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn8.md) - [Knitted Breathable Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyknit-venture.md) - [Italy-Inspired Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-1.md) - [Makeup Artist-Crafted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn-silhouette.md) - [Bold Spring-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fierce-purple.md) - [Bulbous Dynamic Knitted Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-flyknit-venture.md) - [High-Performance Workout Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athleta-2.md) - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md)
