Despite the fact that the Olympic Games have recently come to a close, the brand is continuing to create Olympic-themed sneakers that make references to gold medal wins and various athletic milestones. The shoes, called the 'Air Jordan 5 Retro Gold Medal' have a white leather backdrop, black accents and are surrounded by a gold detail that makes them stand out on store shelves. These [metallic golden shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-gold-1) celebrate the success of the Olympics and show that the games' impact extends far beyond the two weeks that they are on the air. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Olympic-themed Sneakers:** There is an opportunity for companies to create limited edition sneakers that celebrate major athletic events and milestones. - **Metallic Detailing:** The use of metallic details in fashion and footwear can add a touch of luxury and elegance to everyday products. - **Contemporary Remixes of Classic Designs:** There is an opportunity to create new and innovative designs by combining classic elements with contemporary twists. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear and Athletic Equipment:** Companies in the sportswear and athletic equipment industry can capitalize on major athletic events by creating limited edition products that celebrate achievements and milestones. - **Fashion and Luxury Brands:** Fashion and luxury brands can explore the use of metallic detailing in their products to add a touch of luxury and elegance. - **Footwear Industry:** The footwear industry can explore new and innovative designs by remixing classic silhouettes with contemporary elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flashy Gold Utilitarian Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-4.md) - [Chocolate-Inspired Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-ticket-colorway.md) - [Richly Green-Toned Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-retro-1-high.md) - [Chunky Metallic-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-and-metallic-gold.md) - [Chunky Olympic-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-colorway.md) - [Monochromatic Relaunched Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-metallic.md) - [Celebratory Dragon-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragon1.md) - [Luxe Creamy Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-colorway-1.md) - [Metallic-Tinged Retro Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-gold-1.md)
