# Vibrant Animal Print Shoes The Adidas Originals Italia Independent Shoes Are Not For the Meek By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-italia-independent References: [sneakernews](http://sneakernews.com/2014/09/19/italia-independent-x-adidas-originals-zx-flux-collection/) & [news.adidas](http://news.adidas.com/GLOBAL/Latest-News/adidas-Originals-X-Italia-Independent-ZX-FLUX/s/e9b101f8-5435-41bf-928c-979dc682c858) The Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack is part of a collection of Adidas ZX Flux packs that also includes the Italia Independent NPS pack. However, there's no question that the print pack is the more bold and eye-catching of the two. The print pack sees the merging of animal print with a rave-inspired rainbow upper that comes together with an unabashedly bright hot pink heel cate and midsole. A zebra print features Italian flag colors, while classic camouflage hues are featured in a dog's tooth patterns in two colorways -- khaki tonals and blue/black. The shoe is equipped with a satin-like upper that compliments the animal print perfectly, while the TPU 3-stripes mark and translucent outersole give the shoe a modern and technical feel. The Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack is an example of integrating iconic design cues with boldly modern visual elements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Animal Print Fashion:** The Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack showcases the trend of incorporating animal print into fashion. - **Bold Color Combinations:** The vibrant colors in the Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack reflect the trend of using bold and eye-catching color combinations in design. - **Mixing Iconic and Modern Designs:** The fusion of classic animal print and modern rave-inspired elements in the Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack represents the trend of combining iconic and modern design elements in fashion. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** The vibrant animal print shoes in the Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack demonstrate opportunities for innovation in the footwear industry. - **Fashion:** The bold and eye-catching design of the Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack showcases disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry. - **Sportswear:** The integration of iconic design cues and modern visual elements in the Adidas Originals Italia Independent print pack presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the sportswear industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md) - [Animal Patterned Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-4.md) - [Textural Lifestyle Nostalgic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair.md) - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md) - [Brazil-Inspired Striking Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orketro-brazil.md) - [Dynamic Aqua-Tonal Joint Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-20.md) - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md) - [Revived Color-Accented Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-2.md) - [Animal Print-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-2.md)
