Ugly Sneakers... Why you should love them!!

                                                                                                                                             Balenciaga Triple S Speed Trainer 

Ever since last season we have seen on the streets of New York, Paris and Milan the “Ugly sneakers” trend. But where did it come from? Where can I buy them? And how can I wear them?

                                                                                     Vetements x Reebok Instapump Fury Set 

This trend, not really established in a commercial setting yet, is one of my favorites…why?  Speaking in terms of the concept and design, it is incredible to see a completely different aesthetic than we are used to seeing in sneakers nowadays. We need to deconstruct the pieces from  what is considered to be aesthetically approved, or in other words “perfect”,  to dramatically break with what is considered beautiful and sutil. A long with this, to create new forms and silhouettes that will distinguish a before and after in the fashion world.

                                                                                                                                         Fila Disruptor Premium Sneaker

I know… it looks like a classic Dad’s shoes!! But it is always important to think about the origin, that is to say, What does it take for the big fashion brands to launch such a risky sneaker? The answer its pretty simple. "To brake with the “perfection” concept and to open the consumer minds to appreciate the new strategies and concepts about design in general."

                                                                                                                                                                             Skechers Sneakers

Where do I get it?

You can found them at the big brand stores (expensive) like Balenciaga, Vetements, Acne Studios, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens and so on, but also in comercial brands (less expensive) as Adidas, Nike, Rebook, Skechers and Fila.
