The new sneakers are a collaboration with Japanese retailer [Atmos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbro-4). Dubbed The Animal Camo Pack, the two shoe collection consists of one look for men as well as one for women. The men's sneaker is an Air Max 1 with a black python and green camouflage upper section with a white bottom trim. The women's sneaker achieves a lighter, somehow sportier look using a leopard pattern as well as desert camouflage upper section and white bottom trim. These animal skin sneakers follow a trend of animal print use that's popped up lately on everything from snap backs to belts to wallets. The Nike Atmos collaboration will be released in January 2013. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal Print Fashion:** There is a trend of animal print use in fashion, including sneakers, which presents an opportunity for brands to create unique designs. - **Collaborative Footwear Collections:** Collaborations between different brands and retailers, like Nike and Atmos, are becoming popular in the sneaker industry, leading to innovative and unique shoe designs. - **Merging Fashion and Sports:** The use of animal print patterns in sporty shoe designs showcases the trend of merging fashion and sports, offering an opportunity for brands to tap into the growing athleisure market. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the animal print trend to create clothing and accessories that appeal to consumers looking for bold and unique style choices. - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore collaborations and creative designs inspired by animal prints to attract sneaker enthusiasts and fashion-forward consumers. - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can integrate animal print patterns into their collections, facilitating the trend of merging fashion and sports, catering to consumers seeking stylish and functional athletic apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md) - [Animal-Print Patterned Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3.md) - [Chic Camo-Patterned Road Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-premium-black-realtree.md) - [Textural Stealthy Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cat-colorway.md) - [Sleek Textural Sneaker Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-ostrich.md) - [Cow-Print Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-1.md) - [Animal Patterned Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-4.md) - [Stealthy Textural Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-pony-hair.md) - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md)
