Top 100 Sports Trends in 2024

From Lightweight Agile Runners to Three-in-One Aquatic Vessels

— December 20, 2024 — Lifestyle
Whether it's the rise of AI-powered training tools, sustainable sportswear, or the evolution of hybrid sporting events, this list of 2024 sports trends explores everything transforming the way the modern consumer engages with physical activity.

For those looking to elevate their equipment, Lift is revolutionizing weight training with its modular, stackable kettlebell design. Created by designers Erika Avery and Stu Cole, the sleek and functional adjustable weights consist of just nine parts: four cast iron stackable plates, an ergonomic handle, and a twist-locking mechanism, making it practical and aesthetically pleasing.

If you're more interested in professional sports, Y-3 and Real Madrid recently unveiled their latest Matchwear collection, featuring the exclusive Predator 24 edition. Centered around a distinctive rose motif, the collection honors the early days of the adidas and Yohji Yamamoto collaboration through a purple Men’s and Women’s kit.

For more sports trends in the year ahead, check out Trend Hunter's 2025 Trend Report.
