# Basketball-Inspired Sneakers The Yeezy Boost 350 NBA Colorways are Imagined by Patso Dimitrov By Meghan Young | Published 2015-07-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-boost-350-nba References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/7/yeezy-boost-350-reimagined-in-nba-colorways) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/27774777/Yeezy-Boost-350-NBA-Team-Colorways) This line of Yeezy Boost 350 NBA colorways may not actually exist at the moment, but it's a series of renditions that may inspire the rapper to explore such designs. After all, basketball and Kanye West go hand-in-hand. These particular designs were imagined by Patso Dimitrov, a designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. His series features all 30 of the organization's elite teams. Yet in spite of the fact that West is a huge basketball fan, Hypebeast rightly points out, "The Brooklyn Nets’ all-black colorway is perhaps the most realistic of the options thought up by the Copenhagen-based designer, whilst the other offerings provide whimsical and distinctly un-Yeezy alternatives." That said, the Yeezy Boost 350 NBA series is a fun project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Basketball-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity for designers to create basketball-inspired shoes collaborating with sports brands. - **Customizable Sneakers:** Potential for sneaker brands to offer customizable options to consumers to include colorways of their favorite sports teams. - **Limited Edition Signature Sneakers:** Celebrities and athletes can collaborate with sneaker brands to create limited edition signature sneakers inspired by popular sports teams. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands can collaborate with sports teams to release limited edition collections that feature team colors and branding. - **Fashion:** Fashion houses can incorporate athletic themes into their designs to create basketball-inspired collections. - **Athletic Shoes:** Athletic shoe brands can use popular sports teams' branding and colors to create limited edition sneakers that appeal to fans of the teams. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Fashion-Forward Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-sneaker-1.md) - [Basketball-Shaped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller.md) - [Basketball-Honoring Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bb-4000-li-basketball-shoes.md) - [Sporty Luxe Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-balenciaga-x-nba.md) - [Basketball-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draftkings-artist-series.md) - [Stealthy Tonal Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kd-18.md) - [Basketball-Honoring Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nba-x-crocs-classic-clog-allstar.md) - [Agile Eye-Catching Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anta-kai-1.md) - [Luxury Basketball-Themed Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-series.md)
