Nameless Secret Sneakers

Google & Ellesse Created Trainers That Can Only Be Found by Image Search

— October 26, 2022 — Marketing
Google and Ellesse teamed up to create an exclusive, nameless sneaker that's hard to come by. In fact, the secret sneaker can only be found by using the visual search tool on the Google app. To provide hints to people on the street, a series of posters have been set up to encourage people to make the most of the image search feature. After performing an image search of the shoe, users can fill in their personal details for their shot at winning the ultra-exclusive kicks.

For this collaboration, Google and Ellesse worked with Manchester-based designer Matt Burgess, who said "My inspiration for the design came from the idea of connection through the internet." The one-of-a-kind secret sneakers will never be recreated and the unique way that sneakerheads have to hunt for them only adds to the intrigue.
Trend Themes
1. Visual Search Advertising - The use of visual search in advertising to create exclusive products that can only be found through image search can create buzz and exclusivity for brands.
2. Limited Edition Sneakers - Creating exclusive, one-of-a-kind products that will never be recreated can spark demand and scarcity among consumers.
3. Street Marketing Campaigns - Using guerrilla marketing tactics like posters can create excitement and engagement around a product, driving consumers to online search and interaction.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Exclusive, limited edition products like the Nameless Secret Sneakers can attract loyal and dedicated followers within the fashion industry.
2. Retail - Visual search tools and unique product promotions can drive traffic and interest to retail websites and stores.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Innovative marketing campaigns that utilize image search and online exclusivity can create buzz and engagement for brands looking to reach new audiences.
