Spooky Running Sneakers

The Asics Gel Lyte 5 Feature a Festively Grim Purple and Black Colorway

— September 27, 2015 — Fashion
The all-new Asics Gel Lyte 5 running sneakers take inspiration from the festive Halloween season and all the grim eeriness that comes with it. These spooky shoes come in a stylish black and purple colorway that showcase the dark side of the sinister season.

Asics are a popular shoe in the running community because of the design built for speed, performance, durability and support. The Gel Lyte 5 models come with a sleek suede upper in black with subtle purple detailing in and around the heel and inner shoe. The dark and simple pattern is contrasting choice for the brand as it often gears towards bright, colorful and clashing colorways that draw attention to runners on the move.
Trend Themes
1. Spooky Sneaker Designs - Designing sneakers inspired by the Halloween season and its eerie aesthetic opens up opportunities for creative and unique shoe designs that appeal to a niche market.
2. Dark Colorway Options - Introducing darker colorways, like black and purple, for running sneakers allows brands to cater to consumers who prefer a more understated and stylish look while still offering performance and durability.
3. Contrasting Design Choices - Exploring contrasting design choices in running sneakers, such as dark and simple patterns, presents an opportunity for brands to stand out from the crowd and offer something different to the market.
Industry Implications
1. Athletic Footwear - The athletic footwear industry can embrace the trend of spooky sneaker designs and create limited-edition collections that appeal to passionate running enthusiasts.
2. Fashion and Apparel - Fashion and apparel brands can incorporate dark colorways, like black and purple, into their running shoe offerings to attract customers who value both style and functionality.
3. Sporting Goods - Sporting goods manufacturers can explore contrasting design choices in their running shoe lines, offering consumers options that deviate from the traditional bright and colorful designs.
