And Converse, and Nike: what sneakers were worn by the heroes of the series “Friends”

Rumor has it that this August we will see the long-awaited reunion of the characters of the cult TV series “Friends”. Filming ended in 2004 and, it would seem, in the interests of the current generation should be other TV shows. Nevertheless, it is still one of the most popular TV series of our time, the style and aesthetics in which shaped the perception of an entire decade.

The images of each of the characters can be used as a fashion manual for the 1990s and early 2000s. What’s more, nowadays it’s not a shame to dress like Monica or Joey. Of course, in nostalgia for those times, we couldn’t help but pay attention to the classic sports models of sneakers, which appear on the feet of the characters from series to series. Let’s tell you about the most interesting and fashionable pairs we’ve spotted in the series so far.

Adidas Stan Smith

First introduced in 1973, the sneakers became a true legend thanks to their stylish minimalist design. Rachel Green successfully combines them with her outfits in the third season.

Nike Air Tech Challenge 2

A note from Monica Rachel and Chandler found in Andre Agassi’s signature 1989 shoe. The design is marked with paint accents reflecting the athlete’s bold style. In the shot, it looks a little shabby, as if they really did inherit it.

PUMA Suede Classic+.

Puma’s most legendary and popular model. By the way, it repeatedly appears on the feet of many of the characters in the series. The sneakers are perfect for long walks or for skateboarding. We didn’t notice such activities for Chandler, but they look cool on him.

Nike Terra Humara

Peter Fogg, the creator of the shoe that was originally introduced in 1998, tells us that manufacturers didn’t like the design of the model. But thanks to his marketing team, the Air Humara saw the light of day after all. The pair is Fogg’s very first design job at Nike, and his goal was to create a shoe that looked very technical. Peter had a background in designing airplane interiors and drew inspiration from disc brakes, so the sides of the pads look a bit like spokes.

Air Jordan 13

The Air Jordan XIII was the first model to officially come out as a Jordan Brand and not Nike. Never before in the history of sports has a sportsman created his own brand in his own name other than His Air. Ross in one episode proudly wore this pair on a trip.

Converse Jack Purcell

On Monica, a true American classic of athletic footwear. By the way, recently the firm pays more and more attention to this model, which is understandable – the pair perfectly complements any fashionable image.

Nike Air Max 96

The Nike Air Max line with innovative visible cushioning appeared in 1987. What started as a unique technology became a real trend for sports shoes. The Air Max 96 is the second experience of designer Sergio Lozano. This time, as a great lover of nature, he was inspired by waves and created a blue leather upper with mesh inserts.
