Recently we’ve expected our casual footwear to do something beyond just looking good. Your lace-up boots need to be waterproof, and your sneakers breathable and supportive.
For the gym, athletic models take this to extreme: Ultra-lightweight, moisture-wicking, and stability features all come together in the name of performance.
This climate has just the right conditions for skate shoes to make a return. Yes, many of us wore them in the 90s, even if we couldn’t do a kickflip, but the style ranging from almost muted and basic to blindingly bold is far more practical for everyday wear.
Plus, barebones performance features think vulcanized construction, a grippy outsole, and cushioning elevate them above most fashion-leaning styles.
