The title
may be very vague but it summarizes a little of how the sneaker game has
changed so much in the past couple of years. As of recent the dad shoe craze
has taken over the entire sneaker community between YEEZYS, PUMA, Balenciaga, Nike,
and so on. They have become almost a staple in every sneaker head or fashion
forward person in the sneaker and fashion community. The dad shoe craze is not
the problem, I personally own a couple myself and they are very comfortable and
they go with pretty much everything.
The problem
is the dirty sneakers that these fashion houses such as Gucci, Golden Goose,
Maison Margiela, and many more are passing as tasteful and “cool”. I’m not going to lie they look
like they were taken off of a rodeo clowns foot or were taken from a thrift
store set on fire and then tossed in the washer. They look absolutely horrible
but that is not the worst part, the retail price for most start at $530. If
they don’t get the hell out here with that crap, me personally I got bills and
a car note to pay what the hell I look like paying half a stack for
sneakers that look like they just got
out of a fight with Mike Tyson.
The sneaker game has changed so much, it used to be
important to keep your sneakers clean and dedicate a day to clean your sneakers
for the week coming up. But now the purpose is to look like you just don’t give
a damn. When was it ever cool to have dirty Air Force 1s…WHEN??? This really
grinds my gears and breaks my heart thinking that there is some Millennial out
there buying a pair of cocaine white Air Force 1s just to turn them things heroin
brown because of fashion. My God what’s next dirty white tees, non white teeth,
this not giving damn mentality needs to calm down a little.
I did make a lot of jokes and it might seem I’m hating on
the current state of sneakers but in actuality besides them dirty behind
sneakers I love the current state of the sneaker game it has truly been
innovative and is taking huge steps in the right direction. Starting with the
self lacing sneakers that are actually functional a basketball court to the new
cushioning that makes it seem as though you are truly walking on clouds. The sneaker
game is truly growing and I am excited on what is next to come
