# Prohibitive Sports Sneaks The Pro Bowl Air Force 1 is for Football Studs Only By Michael Hines | Published 2010-02-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-bowl-air-force References: [streetlevel](http://www.streetlevel.com/2010/02/04/nike-air-force-1-pro-bowl/) & [nike](http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/usnikefootball/en_US/?sitesrc=uslp) I want to play in the NFL just so I can grab a pair of these sweet Pro Bowl Air Force 1 kicks. For years the Pro Bowl has been the red-headed step child of the NFL, but maybe that will all change with this new and exclusive shoe. It most likely won't, though. At least the pros who 'played' got these sweet shoes for their friends and family. The [Pro Bowl Air Force 1 shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-dirty-triple-white) are made with premium leather with pink and teal trim. I’m starting to get sick of [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-sneaker) teasing us with [sport-stud-only shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nfl-x-crocs-collection). Normal people like me want cool shoes too, Nike! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Sport-specific Sneakers:** There is an opportunity for other sport-specific sneakers to be designed for different activities. - **Exclusivity:** Brands can create exclusive products to encourage consumer loyalty and drive sales. - **Fashion-meets-sportswear:** The trend of merging fashion with sportswear can be expanded upon via collaborations between designers and sneaker brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear Manufacturing:** Sportswear manufacturers can explore collaborations with professional athletes to create signature sneaker lines. - **High Fashion:** High fashion brands can incorporate athletic elements into their designs to cater to consumers' desires for fashion and functionality. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing agencies can help brands create exclusive campaigns and events around product launches to drive buzz and customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Tinged Revived Football Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Sporty Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falcons-colorway.md) - [Athlete-Honoring Lifestyle Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linen-edition.md) - [Football League-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn8-sneaker-2.md) - [Premium Low-Cut Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-force-1-low-paris.md) - [Football Team-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nfl-x-crocs-collection.md) - [Futuristic Metallic Football Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-90-iii-1.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Cow Print Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-field-general.md)
