From the looks of it, the Adidas Originals LQC Runner Citrus Pack look a little bulkier and heavier compared to the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphafly-3-sneaker) Free Run+ and the [Reebok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapump-fury-4) Realflex. But looks can be deceiving in this case, because the brand uses lightweight leather and mesh panels that builds on comfort and breathability. Visually, the sneakers are quite attractive with gray dominating the upper contrasted by bright outlines. There will be Neon Green and Citrus Orange colorways available for the Adidas Originals LQC Runner Citrus Pack. Look for these to hit Adidas retailers soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Lightweight Sneakers:** The use of lightweight materials like leather and mesh panels in sneakers provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry. - **Bright Color Accents:** The incorporation of vibrant neon colors like Neon Green and Citrus Orange in sneaker design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. - **Comfort and Breathability:** The focus on comfort and breathability in sneaker design through the use of lightweight materials and mesh panels presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the athletic footwear industry. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** The advancements in lightweight materials and breathable designs create a disruptive innovation opportunity in the footwear industry. - **Fashion:** The incorporation of bright, neon color accents in sneaker design has the potential to disrupt the fashion industry and attract consumers seeking unique and attention-grabbing footwear. - **Athletic Footwear:** The emphasis on comfort and breathability in sneaker design allows for disruptive innovation in the athletic footwear industry, catering to the needs of active individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Neon-Tinged Dynamic Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906a-neon-pack.md) - [Neon-Hued Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-speedgoat-2.md) - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md) - [Neon Tonal Performance Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphafly-3-sneaker.md) - [Neon-Tinged Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelsekiran-1.md) - [Retro Brightly Accented Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze.md) - [Vibrantly Inspired Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/northern-lights-sneakers.md) - [Ultra-Plump Sleek Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruku.md) - [Sleek Laceless Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megaride-s2.md)
