Fans can look for the FW19 Tennis Collection on adidas athletes like Angelique Kerber and Alexander Zverev. The high-performance tennis gear designs are lightweight and breathable with strategically placed perforations and laser cut holes. The adidas by Stella McCartney Tennis collection can now be found online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Sportswear:** The use of recycled polyester, Parley Ocean Plastic, and Dope Dye Technology to make sportswear more environmentally friendly - **Circular Economy Fashion:** The adoption of circular economy models by fashion designers and retailers to reduce waste while increasing product durability and minimizing carbon emissions - **Performance Wearable Tech:** The integration of high-tech sensors and fabrics into sports gear to monitor and optimize athlete performance and health ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** The adoption of more sustainable materials and processes to create eco-friendly and circular fashion collections - **Sports Equipment Manufacturing:** The incorporation of wearable technology and sustainable materials into sports gear to enhance athletes' performance and minimize environmental impact - **Sustainable Packaging:** The development of eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce waste and carbon footprint of online retailing ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Tennis-Core Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courtside-collection.md) - [Floating Recycled Tennis Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parley-and-adidas.md) - [Elevated Fall Tennis Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-fw25-tennis.md) - [Tennis-Ready Apparel Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss25-tennis-collection.md) - [Fashionable Technical Sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartneys-2024.md) - [Designer-Backed Low-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/court-boost.md) - [Althlete-Inspired Ocean Plastic Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sloane-stephens.md) - [Eye-Catching Modern Tennis Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-tennis-collection.md) - [Performance-Driven Tennis Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-the-heat1.md)
