# Vivid Sunshine-Hued Sneakers Pharrell Helped to Design Another Version of the Originals Hu Tennis By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-05-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/originals-hu References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/5/pharrell-adidas-originals-hu-tennis-yellow-gold) & [deadstock](https://www.deadstock.ca/) After releasing a feminine snakeskin-soled version of the [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3) Originals Hu Tennis model, as well as a series of fresh colorways for it, Pharrell joined forces with the German sportswear giant yet again to launch a pair that have crisp white uppers and bright yellow soles. Like the other recent Originals Hu Tennis models, the uppers are constructed from the brand's popular [Primeknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-collection) material, which allows them to be comfortable, flexible, and breathable -- making them perfect for the summer. On the backs of the uppers, a contrasting heel tab is featured which has a metallic sheen to it and sports the branding. Finishing off the model are the bright yellow soles that make the sneakers instantly stand out, which have grid texturing to add a little more variation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bright Sole Sneakers:** The trend of using vibrant, statement-making colored soles on sneakers creates opportunities for companies to collaborate with designers and musicians to release limited edition collections. - **Primeknit Materials:** The use of Primeknit materials for sneaker uppers offers an opportunity for companies to create lightweight, comfortable, and breathable shoes ideal for warm weather. - **Colorway Collections:** The trend of releasing a variety of colorways for popular sneaker models presents opportunities for companies to experiment with new color combinations and disrupt the status quo in the industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear:** Companies in the sportswear industry can benefit from collaborating with designers and musicians to create unique limited-edition sneaker collections. - **Fashion:** The trend of statement-making sneaker soles can appeal to the fashion industry to add a pop of color to outfits, creating opportunities for collaboration between fashion and footwear companies. - **Retail:** Retailers can use the trend of releasing a variety of colorways for sneakers models to experiment with in-store customization and personalization options for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bulky Traction-Focused Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3.md) - [Collaborative Dynamic Bright Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jellyfish-sneaker.md) - [Jellyfish-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharrell-williams-and-adidas-originals.md) - [Revived Color-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-2.md) - [Summer-Ready Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-sneakers-1.md) - [Pastel Easter-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-samba-og.md) - [Loofah-Inspired Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caroline-hu.md) - [Off-White Chunky Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-x-20.md) - [Colorful Personality Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-cruiser-sneakers.md)
