This is definitely not the first time the two have collaborated having launched a large collection already. As expected, the Porsche Design Sport x Adidas Easy Trainer brings a slick, chic look to the runners that are full of sophistication. The shoes have a clean look with a white upper with [perforated holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diffuser-slipon) that reveal a light blue mesh underneath. At only 259 grams, the shoe is extremely lightweight, and brings a lot of flexibility and breathability to the runner. With the reveal of the new Easy Trainer model, I can't wait to see if Porsche Design Sport and Adidas will update the Bounce models. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Sportswear Collaboration:** The collaboration between Porsche Design Sport and Adidas demonstrates the trend of luxury brands entering the sportswear market. - **Sleek Design and Sophistication:** The Porsche Design Sport x Adidas Easy Trainer showcases the trend of sleek, sophisticated design in athletic footwear. - **Lightweight and Breathable Materials:** The use of perforated holes and lightweight materials in the Easy Trainer highlights the trend of comfortable and breathable sportswear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Automotive:** Luxury automotive companies like Porsche are expanding into lifestyle products, including sportswear collaborations. - **Sportswear:** The collaboration between Porsche Design Sport and Adidas demonstrates the innovation opportunities in the sportswear industry. - **Athletic Footwear:** The sleek design and lightweight materials used in the Easy Trainer present disruptive innovation possibilities within the athletic footwear industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Racecar-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-911-gt1.md) - [Speed-Forward Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-pr.md) - [Sportscar-Inspired Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-and-porsche.md) - [Performance-Inspired Designer Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-x-puma.md) - [Minimalist Slip-On Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f50-silver-metallic.md) - [Sophisticated Monotonal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-freizeit.md) - [Superior Ultramarathon Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-adizero-prime-x-evo.md) - [Chunky Trainer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breeze-sneaker.md) - [Revived Color-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-2.md)
