Sneakers: When Sport and Fashion Become One

A Little Bit of History

We have to go back to 1868... yes, it wasn't yesterday... to find the trace of the first sports shoes! They were produced at the time by the Candee Manufacturing Company and received the name "sneakers." Since "to sneak" means to move silently, these shoes were equipped with rubber soles, making movements entirely discreet.

But it wasn't until 1917 that the first sneakers truly dedicated to sports were born. This was the Chuck Taylor All Star from the Converse company. They began to generate real enthusiasm and became massively popular starting in the 1980s. The reason? The rise of hip-hop and streetwear, where rappers and dancers adopted the style of basketball players. They then symbolized belonging to street culture and experienced great success with an ever-expanding audience.

A True Fashion Phenomenon

Currently, these shoes have established themselves as the absolute must-have footwear. You have surely noticed that they are omnipresent every single season! (As a fun fact, back in 2016, sales exploded in France with 67 million pairs finding buyers, and the trend has only grown since). It must be said that in addition to an attractive design, they have the advantage of adapting to different clothing styles, whether casual or formal.

For example, you can wear them with fitted slim jeans and a bomber jacket. But you can also easily pair them with a 3-piece suit! For them to adapt perfectly to your look, you must choose the appropriate colors:

• White sneakers are known for their neutrality, making it incredibly easy to match them with most of your outfits.
• Black and brown are highly recommended for a more formal style. Dark colors are generally suited for winter.
• Bright or flashy colors, on the contrary, are perfect to rock during the summer.

Adopt the same technique when choosing materials! Opt for wool or suede/velvet sneakers during cool periods, as they retain heat well. Canvas and cotton are perfect for the summer season. If you want to combine robustness and flexibility, go for leather models instead. Convinced? Treat yourself to your dream pair at an unbeatable price on Sports-District!

Sneakers for Playing Sports

Need we remind you that before becoming a fashion accessory, these shoes originally had a sporting purpose? If you like running, sneakers are the most suitable gear! To provide you with ultimate comfort, experts have equipped them with highly effective cushioning systems. Furthermore, minimalist models allow you to tone your calves and thighs due to the low thickness of the soles. In short, you can run for long hours while benefiting from both stability and flexibility. Asics, Adidas, Reebok... you can find exactly what you are looking for among renowned brands at very competitive prices!
