Step aside heels, the ugly dad sneakers are here to stay!
Fashion has its recurring cycle and yesterday’s fashion is here for another cycle. When luxury brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga etc are actually making comfortable walking shoes to compete in the sneakers trend, you know it ain’t stylish to strut the walkway in your 12 inch’ high heels for the season.
Chunky and somewhat awkward, the ugly dad’s sneakers may not be the prettiest pair of shoes you’ll ever think that you’ll own but they are definitely making the headlines this year. Time to play catch up with the atheleisure chase, from runway heels to high end sneakers that you can run to catch the bus in, there is always a pair for both men and women alike.
It resembles a nostalgic piece of fashion that brings us back to the 1990s’. Do you remember the rave that Nike and Adidas brought back in 1990s?
