# Exotic Feline Kicks Rock the Adidas Originals Forum Mid ‘Leopard' Predator Style By Matt Ho | Published 2011-10-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-forum-mid-leopard References: [f5torefresh](http://f5torefresh.com/2011/10/04/adidas-originals-forum-mid-‘leopard’/) & [chapterworld](http://www.chapterworld.com/user_data/adidas_frmmid_leo.php) It's kind of hard for anyone not to notice a person wearing the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1) Originals Forum Mid ‘Leopard’ considering how flashy they are -- after all, who can really miss the print based off a predatory cat? The latest from the sports brand, the exotic Adidas Originals Forum Mid ‘Leopard’ kicks are anything but subtle in design. The upper features a [leopard-skin print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-2) that runs throughout the shoe and yes, it's [fuzzy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campus-00-1). Contrasting the feline pattern is the leather panels that do take up the majority of the space, but still show off more than enough of the leopard skin. Other details include a gold-lettered Adidas logo on the side as well as a strap. Additional colors for the sneaker will include brown and white. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 - **Printed Sneakers:** Opportunity for brands to create flashy and eye-catching sneakers with unique prints, appealing to consumers looking for bold fashion statements. - **Animal-inspired Design:** Potential for incorporating animal patterns and textures into various products beyond apparel, such as accessories and home decor, to attract consumers who appreciate nature-inspired aesthetics. - **Multi-textured Footwear:** Innovation opportunity for designers to combine different materials and textures in footwear, providing consumers with visually interesting and tactile experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the demand for unique and bold fashion pieces by offering a wide selection of printed sneakers to cater to diverse consumer preferences. - **Apparel and Accessories:** Opportunity to expand product lines with animal-inspired designs, such as handbags, belts, and scarves, to tap into the growing market of consumers seeking fashionable and nature-themed accessories. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can experiment with different materials and textures in footwear production, creating distinct and visually appealing products that stand out in a competitive market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md) - [Dramatic Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti-pony-hair.md) - [Textural Lifestyle Nostalgic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair.md) - [Reimagined Lifestyle Sporty Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-freestyle.md) - [Updated Monochromatic Football Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-predator-1.md) - [Modern Updated Football Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-24.md) - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md) - [Film-Inspired Shoe Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-og.md) - [Sleek Leather Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-speedcat.md)
