Fatz and I recently had a conversation about "Fads" in the sneaker game like the current "Boat Shoes" trend (yes I know I copped a pair too). What makes a shoe stand the test of time and allow you to carry it for generations? We asked ourselves, what shoe is such a classic that no matter your gender, sex or race you can still pull off regardless of what age you are. Which shoes do you find cool at 16 and still have the ability to rock when you're 50 without looking like a complete tool?
Here's our list:
1. Air Jordan 1
2. Adidas Stan Smiths/Rod Lavers/Gazelles
3. Converse Chuck Taylors
There is one common trait that these shoes all share; they're design is simple. The general design of these shoes are all rather slim and minimalistic in nature. Although these designs are generally simple, this does not take away from the style they all have. Slim build and minimal colours allow the show to stand the test of time and deviate from other shoes that have a bulky design or crazy features. Although most of these shoes have been released in a plethora of colourways, its the classic colourways that make these shoes staples in your wardrobe.
So whether you're a 16 year old skateboarder from L.A. or a 50 year old father of 2 from Japan, be sure that any of these shoes will be safe within your inner circles while giving you the "hip" factor.
