I had to incorporate my sole pair of high-tops in more outfits beyond wearing them to travel. The evolution of sneakers as a culture and fashion statement is really fascinating. Yes, I think and read about these things. What is more intriguing is how many people who purchase kicks and want everyone to see them in those kicks do not know the history behind this culture. If you are one of those people…don’t worry, I won’t call you out…but here are a few stories you might want to read:
- Run-D.M.C. ‘My Adidas’ and the Birth of Hip Hop Sneaker Culture
- More than a shoe: Museum exhibit celebrates America’s sneaker culture
Wearing: Macy’s hat, Marshalls sweater, Zara leggings, Adidas sneakers
