The New York Times Explores Sneakers Taking Over Fashion Footwear

The New York Times Explores Sneakers Taking Over Fashion Footwear

New York Times Sneaker Menswear

It happens every once in a while: a major media outlet takes note of the now massive scale of the sneaker community and whips up a lengthy piece on it in order to inform the rest of the world. This time time around the outlet is The New York Times, and their reporting focuses not on the phenomenon of young sneaker resellers that’s been the go-to issue for this type of piece recently, but rather on the sneaker invasion that’s taken place in formal and high-fashion circles. The piece names Common Projects, adidas Stan Smiths, Nike Flyknits, and more as shoes that have been increasingly commonplace on the red carpet, in business settings, and elsewhere. Head to The New York Times for the full piece and let us know your thoughts on this trend down in the comments.
