When style meets practicality. Mens slip-on sneakers are more trendy than ever: slip-on, streamlined footwear in knit, neoprene or other high-performance technical fabrics, or in fine leather, with a high flat white rubber sole. Not to forget the new models with velcro closure, like the one proposed by one of the leading brands of the moment, Veja. The most famous fashion brands for this fall/winter 2019-20 have unleashed their creativity by designing slip-on sneakers for men to match different outfits. Initially, shoes were created for skate enthusiasts, so that the laces wouldn’t get caught in the wheels; later, acknowledging the comfort and practicality offered by this type of sports shoe, more precious materials began to be used instead of canvas, such as nappa leather, suede. And thus came the birth of slip-ons, often embellished with special decorations and details. As for the running world, we talk about highly performing models, usually in mesh, designed to wrap the foot well and provide maximum comfort, as if it were a sock. Shoes so comfortable and practical that after their market launch, they began to be worn even by those who simply enjoy watching sports on television.
