What kind of items do you match when you hear denim? I think it depends on the person. Many people think of "T-shirts" as the best denim tops' partners. This time, I would like to talk about the best feet partner of denim: "Sneakers".
First of all, how did sneakers establish themselves as one of the fashion items? I will briefly explain its history.
- What are all about Sneakers?
Sneakers are footwear originally developed for "exercise", and the etymology is said to be "a person who creeps up without making noise". Therefore, the material also has a cloth or leather upper and a rubber or urethane sole, and the fit can be adjusted with a system developed independently such as strings and Velcro, and unlike heels and loafers, it is a feature that doesn't make any noises during walking.
- When did sneakers start becoming one of the street fashion items?
It is said that the recognition of items as street fashion began around the 1950s when surfers on the west coast of the United States wore T-shirts and shirts and deck shoes and began to go out to the city.
After that, it changed its shape with the release of VANS etc. and spread to young people.
Now, let me explain what kind of sneakers are currently standard. Many of you may know this, but we would appreciate it if you could keep in touch with us for a while.
< Classic Popular Sneakers>
- NIKE
The sneaker "NIKE" is irresistible for street fashion lovers. Among them, Air Force 1 is by far the most popular standard item. A simple design sold in the 80's. It can be purchased at a reasonable price of 10,000 yen and is still loved by young people in Japan. Nike sneakers are voluminous overall, so we recommend wearing them as an accent color for both single and monotone color outfits such as shorts and slender pants.
- VANS
"VANS" sneakers that are gaining tremendous support among skaters. Among them, "Old School" has become their standard item. These sneakers go well with wide pants, so it's a great pair to wear when you want to enjoy skater fashion.
- CONVERSE
The sneaker "CONVERSE" that I love so much. Among them, I like high-tops and are famous among his friends. It is also very popular in Japan as a standard item sneaker for "casual fashion". The high cut of "CONVERSE All Star" is especially compatible with skinny pants and brings about a long leg effect. If you combine with oversized tops 'items, you may feel even more modern. In addition, many "Japan limited items" are sold at CONVERSE shops in Tokyo, so if you are looking for rare items, please check the CONVERSE Japan website.
