THOSE SNEAKERS ARE TRASH BRO!!!

By Stephen Pierce

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
