Keep track of your steps is cool, but constantly staring at a step counter can make you look a tad lame. The Adidas Consortium Micropacer is a remix of the classic Adidas Micropacer first seen in the 1980's. That shoe was designed to be a [running shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl), though; this shoe is designed to turn heads. With its [brown leather brogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balances-tech-explosion) and smooth stitching, everyone will literally want to follow in your footsteps when they see you wearing this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stylish Pedometer Shoes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop pedometer shoes that combine fashion and functionality. - **Retro Remix Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create modern versions of classic designs that appeal to nostalgia and fashion-forward consumers. - **Fashionable Fitness Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design stylish accessories for fitness tracking that make health monitoring more trendy and appealing. ### Where This Applies - **Athletic Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate smart technology into athletic footwear to enhance performance and attract tech-savvy customers. - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with popular fashion brands to produce limited edition items that merge fashion and technology. - **Wearable Tech:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fashionable wearable devices that seamlessly integrate health tracking features for a stylish and functional accessory. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital-World-Based Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stepn-go-x-adidas-ultraboost.md) - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md) - [Trendy Foam Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-lightblaze-moc.md) - [Superior Ultramarathon Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-adizero-prime-x-evo.md) - [Texturally Elevated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-c-grounds-uk.md) - [Revived Dynamic Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3.md) - [Fashionable Bowling-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-x-brain-dead-x-dsm.md) - [Futuristic Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-unveils-climacool.md) - [Minimal Everyday Walking Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-comfort-walker.md)
