Having the right equipment is essential for any athlete, which is why Asics has developed a new print ad that takes out the guess work from finding a [supportive running shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-wins-add-up). This interactive ad has the user stand on a piece of thermochromic paper that reacts to their body heat. The imprint can be compared to an info-graph that tells them which Asics shoe would provide the best fit. This interactive print ad is a great way to get consumers thinking about the brand while also lending legitimacy to the technology and customized fit that distinguish Asics running shoes. This foot type testing ad is currently running in Brazil. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Print Ads:** Using thermochromic ink in print ads to provide interactive and personalized experiences for consumers. - **Personalized Footwear:** Using foot type testing to recommend the best running shoe for individual customers. - **Technology Integration in Marketing:** Incorporating technology like thermochromic ink in marketing campaigns to engage and attract consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Sporting Goods:** Implementing foot type testing technology to offer personalized footwear options for athletes. - **Advertising:** Utilizing interactive print ads with thermochromic ink to enhance client engagement and drive brand awareness. - **Footwear:** Incorporating foot type testing in the marketing strategy to provide customized shoe recommendations for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motivational Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-desk-break.md) - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md) - [Musical Wellbeing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/move-your-body-move.md) - [Color-Changing Cleats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-changing-cleats.md) - [Animated Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-your-feet.md) - [Stylish Footwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-as-you-go.md) - [Technical Footwear Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-taping.md) - [Vibrant Runner-Targeted Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-southeast-asia.md) - [3D-Printed Smart Insoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-customized-insoles.md)
