It is comprised of a range of shoes that have been tweaked to leave behind [animal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid) instead of regular sneaker ones. Granted, the hooved heels might prove a bit of a problem when outrunning a professional tracker. The shoes in the Outlier by Maskull Lasserre have been outfitted with custom-made animal shaped rubber soles that will easily fool even the most seasoned mantracker that an animal has passed through a particular area in place of a human. While [Lasserre](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maskull-lasserre1)'s first creation has made waves on the Internet, he has since made a few more models. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal Print Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear companies to create animal print shoes that provide an advantage in outdoor activities like hiking and camping. - **Deception Technology:** Opportunity for security companies to develop technology that can identify deceptive footwear as a means to prevent crime and improve safety measures. - **Disguise Apparel:** Opportunity for apparel companies to develop clothing that can aid in disguising individuals and help in evading capture or surveillance. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Footwear companies can incorporate animal print soles or develop custom soles to help individuals evade capture in outdoor activities. - **Security:** Security companies can develop technology to identify deceptive footwear and improve crime prevention measures using disguise tactics. - **Apparel:** Apparel companies can develop clothing and accessories aimed at helping individuals disguise themselves and evade surveillance or capture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bigfoot-Inspired Bizarre Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninlo.md) - [Animal Faux Fur Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-1trl-3.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Mossy Stone-Mirrored Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravest-studio.md) - [Off-Road Barefoot Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobarefoot-tracker-textile-at-ii.md) - [Gritty Rodent-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratboot.md) - [Blockish Tread-Covered Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Off-Grid All-Terrain Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropicfeel-allterrain-collection.md)
