This coming release will see five different cities represented in the Nike Lunarglide+ 3 City Pack. Cities include Beijing, Berlin, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City. Each destination has an artist from the city designing the runners to add a bit of local flair. As for performance, the Lunarglide+ 3 is one of the most raved trainers among critics and wearers alike. Expect a very lightweight upper that's built with Lunar Foam, a material originally used by [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delavie-sciences1) to eliminate weight. The footwear will offer easy airflow, flexibility, comfort and high performance. If you're from one of these metropolises, rep your city with the Nike Lunarglide+ 3 City Pack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **City-inspired Sneaker Designs:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create localized and unique designs for sneakers based on major cities. - **Performance-driven Lightweight Footwear:** Potential for creating lightweight sneakers using innovative materials and technologies that offer superior comfort and performance. - **Localized Branding and Market Segmentation:** Opportunity for brands to connect with consumers by offering city-specific products that resonate with local pride and identity. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for footwear companies to create city-specific designs and lightweight sneakers for enhanced performance. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with city artists and designers to create localized sneakers and capitalize on the trend of city-inspired designs. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketing agencies to develop localized marketing campaigns that are tailored to specific cities and emphasize the unique features of the city-inspired sneakers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Heritage Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnyc-2055.md) - [Elevated Performance Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaspeed-paris.md) - [NYC-Inspired Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-16.md) - [Running Lifestyle Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/run-city.md) - [Dynamic Running-Focused Retail Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-running-the-corner.md) - [Vibrantly Inspired Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/northern-lights-sneakers.md) - [Neon Tonal Performance Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphafly-3-sneaker.md) - [Exclusive Lunar New Year Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-cloudmonster-lny.md) - [Durable Urbanite Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-c1ty-surplus.md)
