# Pony Print Kicks The Converse Japan December 2009 Release is Covet Worthy By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-11-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-japan-december-2009 References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2009/11/converse-japan-2009-december-releases/) & [converse](http://www.converse.com) I am seriously starting to rethink my choice of habitation location. I mean, [Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flames-collection) gets all the good stuff. Like the [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-allstar) Japan December 2009 release, a limited, Japan only line of shoes that are probably the greatest thing ever. With bright colors, patterns, and a choice of two very special [animal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-dress), this offering turns me into a green eyed monster, alright. In short, the Converse Japan December 2009 launch may be the sole reason I move half way around the world. Extreme? No. Practical and well thought out? Yes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited Release Shoes:** The demand for exclusive and limited edition footwear offers a disruptive opportunity to create hype and premium pricing. - **Bold Animal Prints:** Designing shoe collections with animal print patterns could differentiate brands and create demand for new styles. - **Colorful Patterns:** Producing shoes with a variety of vivid patterns could attract niche markets and create a following. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Implementing a limited release strategy for footwear could increase sales volume and attract new customers. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Adding new styles and patterns to shoe lines could differentiate companies and increase market share. - **Textile Printing:** Offering unique and colorful printing capabilities for shoe manufacturing could attract new clients and increase revenue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Japanese Artwork Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-allstar.md) - [Villainess-Inspired High Tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppy-pink.md) - [Romantic Seasonal Sneaker Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-chucks-in-love.md) - [Festive Bold Court Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shai-001-winter-red.md) - [Custom Party Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-and-charli-xcx.md) - [Reptile-Pattern Sleek Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70s-1.md) - [Spring-Ready Textural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-and-converse.md) - [Stop-Motion Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-and-coraline.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md)
