The Hanon x Asics Gel Lyte III Wildcats shoes revamp the latter's runners with [red and yellow colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-121) that form an Autumn-esque aesthetic. The upper is constructed with suede complete with "3 tonal 3M tiger stripes and double woven labels on the tongue," according to [Highsnobiety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-legacy-1). Since this is an Asics Gel Lyte model, the sneaker is extremely light and will feature a split tongue design, as well as soft cushioning for comfort. The Hanon x Asics Gel Lyte III Wildcats are limited editions and will be available on October 28th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% ## 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 - **Colorful Athletic Footwear:** There is a disruption opportunity for footwear brands to create more bold and unique colorways in their athletic shoe offerings. - **Limited Edition Sneakers:** There is a disruption opportunity for brands to create limited edition sneakers to increase hype and demand in the market. - **Collaboration Sneakers:** There is a disruption opportunity for brands to collaborate with local clubs or organizations to create unique and meaningful sneaker designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Athletic Footwear:** Athletic footwear brands can take advantage of the trend toward unique and bold colorways in their shoe designs. - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can capitalize on the limited edition and collaboration sneaker trends to increase sales and customer engagement. - **Local Running Clubs:** Local running clubs can leverage their unique identities and designs to collaborate with sneaker brands and create meaningful products for their members. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ub10s-gelkayano-20.md) - [Natural Tone Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-14-organic-beauty.md) - [Dynamic Aqua-Tonal Joint Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-20.md) - [Organic Suede Technical Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel1130-sneaker.md) - [Earthy Tonal Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthenware.md) - [Nature-Inspired Multi-Color Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delamere.md) - [Retro Pastel Tonal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhand-shoes.md) - [Metallic Color-Blocked Tech Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-kayano-14-sneaker.md) - [Pink-Tinged Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-glo-colorway.md) - [Dynamic Golden-Tinged Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafate-three2-1.md)
