# Fluorescent Cycling Sneakers Lacoste Laser Cruisers are Even More Effective than Reflectors By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-09-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-laser-cruisers References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/09/26/electro-kicks/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/adamnagydesign/Lacoste-Laser-Cruiser) In terms of increasing your nighttime visibility, wearing these [Lacoste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-elite-active-sneakers) Laser Cruisers might be the equivalent of wearing one of those [bright orange and silver safety vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciele-nite-rite). The [running shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rb-nitrotm-elite) have been enhanced with luminescent EL fabric that emits a bright colorful light on the outsides of both of your feet. Such a feature is ideal for those who like to ride their bicycles or go for jogs after dark. Equally, Adam Nagy's design is brilliant for sporting in the daytime. The electroluminescent section can remain turned off, and when you want to switch it on, simply touch the heels of the Lacoste Laser Cruisers together for a solid three seconds. A sensor will detect this position and proceed to illuminate bright pink or blue strips to give you super cool Tron-style kicks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luminescent Activewear:** The integration of luminescent technology into activewear offers increased visibility and safety for nighttime activities. - **Electroluminescent Footwear:** Footwear with electroluminescent sections allows users to customize their shoe lighting for both daytime and nighttime wear. - **Smart Sensors in Sportswear:** The use of sensors in sportswear enables intuitive interaction and control of lighting elements for a personalized experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Athletic Footwear:** The athletic footwear industry can incorporate luminescent and electroluminescent materials to enhance safety features and fashion. - **Sportswear:** Sportswear brands can explore the integration of smart sensors and lighting features to provide innovative and customizable products. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can utilize luminescent activewear and footwear to improve nighttime visibility and safety for activities such as biking and running. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced 70s-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-elite-active-sneakers.md) - [Color-Changing Clipless Pedals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipless-pedals.md) - [Innovative Mesh Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-neo-shot-sneaker.md) - [Glowing Luminous Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-14-4.md) - [Sleek Illuminating Runner Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumabelt.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [70s-Inspired Sports Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-aura.md) - [Illuminated Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-cycling-helmet.md)
