The concept was simply to create a pair of Hardland sneakers inspired by the fashionable stylings of Fred Flintstone for the fall 2011 Adidas ObyO collection. The sneakers feature three large [bones going up the eyestay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern) of the shoe, which can actually be removed for those of who prefer the classic look. The [cheetah print lining the shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-stan-smith-beaded) is inspired by Flintstone's toga and the remaining accents on the shoe are done in teal and purple. These limited-edition Adidas ObyO with JS Bones Flintstone shoes may be a little flashy, but they sure are super neat sneakers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pop-culture Sneakers:** There is a growing trend of creating limited-edition sneakers inspired by popular characters, movies, and television shows. - **Customizable Sneakers:** Sneaker companies are exploring customizable options for consumers, allowing them to personalize their shoes and add or remove unique design elements. - **Nostalgia Fashion:** Nostalgic fashion trends are making a comeback, with consumers showing interest in vintage and retro-inspired styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear Industry:** The footwear industry has the opportunity to create more unique and unconventional limited-edition sneakers based on pop-culture and nostalgic inspirations. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the growing demand for nostalgic fashion trends by creating clothing and accessories that incorporate retro elements. - **Customization Industry:** The customization industry can partner with sneaker companies to offer unique options for personalizing limited-edition pop-culture inspired sneakers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Casual Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrick-star-superstar.md) - [Flame-Themed Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flames-collection.md) - [Shaggy Suede Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-x-adidas-forest-hills.md) - [Cartoon Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-x-spongebob-squarepants.md) - [Fossil-Inspired Performance Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-360-i-amp.md) - [Jellyfish-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharrell-williams-and-adidas-originals.md) - [Patterned Joint Stealthy Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern.md) - [Earthy Tonal Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-sprint.md)
