Sneakers for men, vintage style models are back

Vintage effect. This is how sneakers to bet on look like if you are one of those who feel a sense of repulsion towards the overdose of futuristic trainers and the hyperbolic chunky ones that have crowded catwalks and streets in the recent seasons. This doesn’t mean old, never, but reproducing those reassuring and charming silhouettes that have become a classic. No more oversized swollen soles, stop to massive constructions and panels with schizophrenic colors. The starting inspiration, as often happens, was given by Gucci, which for Spring-Summer 2020 launched the Tennis 1977, a canvas sneaker that reproduces the original from those years. It’s a low collar model, in cotton canvas or leather, with a rubber tread as thin as needed, made special by the monogram reproduced in a modular way and the side bands just like it was used to be in that period. The colors are dusty and antiqued, like butter white, sky blue, and rust red. Following this trend, a plethora of proposals that satisfy the most nostalgic with carry-overs that do not disappoint expectations, drawing from both the skater attitude and the traditionally sporty style of traditional sneakers. Of course, there is no shortage of cult brands of the old school genre like Vans, Superga, and Converse, but also many others usually more avant-garde (Kenzo for one). In the gallery a selection of vintage effect sneakers to buy now, strictly online.
