This package of three different shoes is being released exclusively to ABC-Mart Japan for the Fall 2012 season. That means that people might have to really get their claws out in order to secure themselves a pair. The Animal Patterns Adidas Originals come in a [zebra print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake) and two different tones of leopard print. Each shoe features the Adidas signature three-stripe embellishment and shell toe. These shoes are a creative version of a classic shoe, making them a suitable addition to any sneaker collection. The Animal Patterns Adidas Originals will be released in September. No leopards or zebras were harmed in the making of these awesome shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal Patterns:** Opportunity for incorporating animal patterns into various fashion and accessories - **Exclusivity:** Potential for creating limited edition products to generate hype and demand - **Creative Versions:** Possibility to reinvent classic products with unique and artistic designs ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating animal patterns into their collections to attract trendy consumers - **Footwear:** Footwear industry can develop limited edition releases to increase consumer excitement and engagement - **Sportswear:** Sportswear companies can explore creative versions of classic shoe designs to appeal to fashion-savvy athletes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md) - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md) - [Textural Lifestyle Nostalgic Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair.md) - [Retro Athletic Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-accessories-collection.md) - [Animal Print-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-samba-2.md) - [Cow Print Textural Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-dress.md) - [Camo-Patterned Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-adidas.md) - [Athletic Shoe Adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pearls.md) - [Nature-Inspired Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori.md)
