# Circus Colored Kicks The Adidas Consortium Makes Wearing Shoes Even Better By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-12-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-consortium References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2009/12/21/adidas-consortium-classic-runners-pack/) & [adidas](http://www.adidas.com) I love [running shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl), especially around the holidays when they help me to run away from my feelings. Was that too weird? Anyway, the [Adidas Consortium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion) Classic Runners Pack takes the epic old school kicks we love, and breathes slammin’ fresh air into them. Leading the way is the Torsian Special (which sounds more like a spaceship) that features some rad colors and is manufactured out of premium coated leather and velvety nubuck. Needless to say the Adidas Consortium will make Spring 2010 that much better. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 - **Classic Runners Pack:** The Adidas Consortium is reviving classic sneakers with their Classic Runners Pack. - **Premium Coated Leather:** Manufacturing footwear with premium coated leather is a trend that is becoming increasingly popular. - **Rad Colors:** Using vibrant colors on footwear is a trend that is not dying anytime soon. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can incorporate these trends into their footwear designs to keep up with the latest trends. - **Sporting Goods Industry:** The sporting goods industry can use these trends to create trendy running shoes. - **Leather Industry:** The leather industry can utilize the premium coated leather trend in their products to target consumers who like high-quality materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md) - [Summer-Ready Pastel Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-sneakers-1.md) - [Revived Dynamic Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3.md) - [Pastel Easter-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-samba-og.md) - [Revived Color-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-2.md) - [Textural Chunky Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-and-adidas-1.md) - [Dynamic Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-superstar.md) - [Iconic Shoe Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-og-shoes.md) - [Casual Red-Tonal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-embraces-valentines-day.md)
