Sneakers Evolve
Air Jordans for all
Once upon a time sneakers were the footwear of choice for kids, athletes and those who didn’t care about what others thought. Somewhere along the line (the mid 80’s) they began to emerge as something more.
Colour and Comfort
Adopted by the slacker generation of skaters, they sent a message of nonchalant attitude to attire. The converse boot, a favourite since the 1960’s has been the one constant. A resurgence in popularity during the 80’s put them back on top of the list for any fashion conscious teen.
the iconic Converse boot
Today of course sneakers are an essential item for anyone with street cred. Nearly everyone owns multiple pairs and the cost of the top of line models means they have transcended their initial use as sports wear into all arenas, even formal.
The style revolution
Chic designers have even entered the race to catch our eye with the comfortable shoes that’s uses seem to expand everyday. They even come with stiletto heels now, known as sneaker boots.
Can't play ball in these
Offering extra ankle support, cushioned inner soles and impact absorption. Brands like Reebox, Adidas and Nike continue to churn out precisely engineered trainers. These allow you to jump higher, run faster and generally excel at whatever the wearers chosen sport maybe. Typically coming in black or white, but there are exceptions to that rule.
Technological marvels
A skater boy at heart, my shoe of choice has always been the DC’s or Vans. For me they seem to compliment whatever jeans or long shorts I am wearing at the time.
Sk8te to create
So whether you call them trainers, sandshoes, runners, takkies or sports shoes, the sneaker continues to dominate the western world. The most commonly worn, the essential component to street chic, this is one accessory that transcends class, wealth and style to become something more personal.
