“How did the fashion for sneakers arise and what trends await us this season? I tell you about everything in detail”.

History of appearance

The first sneakers (or rather, their prototype) appeared at the end of the XIX century in England. There they invented comfortable and lightweight sailcloth shoes on rubber soles for playing croquet.

Over time, these shoes became very popular, so sports brands began to produce them all over the world. Laces and metal eyelets were added to the original design, creating the sneaker style that everyone knows today.

Evolution of style

But the design did not stand still: in addition to the traditional linen or cotton, sneakers began to be made of other materials. There appeared models made of suede and leather, with various decorative inserts and elements.

In the early XX century, sneakers began to wear basketball players and famous athletes, and then the fashion for this shoe spread among American youth, who flaunted it literally everywhere. By the way, the name “sneakers” appeared at that time. It was formed from the merger of the words kids and peds.

Cult sneakers

Another milestone in the history of sneakers was the appearance of the Converse model – the famous “Converse”, whose recognizable silhouette is still in trend today. They were invented by shoemaker Marques Converse, who later founded the legendary brand.

The peak of popularity of “Converse” came in the 70s with the fashion for such musical genres as rock, punk, grunge, metal. Sneakers were a symbol of freedom, creativity, self-expression and individuality. They were worn by musicians, athletes, fashionistas and celebrities.

Under the influence of pop culture, this shoe, which originated to play croquet almost a century ago, conquered the world and forever entered the history of fashion.

Trends for Spring-Summer 2024

Today there is a huge variety of styles and colors, and the sneakers themselves have become an integral part of both men’s and women’s closet. This season designers offer several stylistic solutions at once.

Combined textures

The most popular sneakers of this summer are combined models, when one pair combines a variety of shapes, lines and textures. This can be inserts of different materials (leather, suede, textile), bright color combinations, applications and elements in the form of patches, patterns, sequins. The space for imagination is unlimited, so you can find your perfect pair for every taste.

Fans of classic silhouettes should pay attention to traditionally designed sneakers. As a rule, they are made of genuine leather or suede in restrained colors: brown, beige, milky.

Stylish combinations

Casual sneakers go well with the current trend for wide leg jeans, basic T-shirts and relaxed silhouettes. You can also wear them with more feminine looks. For example, with a midi length dress in lingerie style. Another ready-made set: straight or flared jeans, a top, a conservative tweed jacket and rebellious sneakers in the spirit of Converse.

To create a sporty and street style look, pay attention to such combinations as platform sneakers plus leggings or cycling shorts, voluminous sweatshirts or T-shirts.

Care

To make your favorite sneakers last as long as possible, don’t forget about care. Leather sneakers should be wiped with a dry or damp cloth. Sneakers made of eco-leather or textile can be gently washed in water with mild detergents. Additionally, it will not hurt to impregnate the shoes with a dust- and moisture-repellent spray.

Thus, sneakers are almost the most popular and universal detail in any closet. And no wonder: they fit almost any clothes and are so comfortable that when you find your pair of shoes, you will not want to part with it. And with proper care they will keep their pristine appearance and not one season will please their owner, remaining a stylish and fashionable accent in the image.
