The Rise of Dad Sneakers; are you hopping on the trend?

   Dad sneakers are making a comeback and becoming a very popular selection amongst the younger generation today. These sneakers tend to have a bulky or chunky mesh outer appearance with neutral colors that pair along. They are known to be very breathable for your feet due to the sole design of the shoe, which is why many dads or middle-aged men prefer them over any flashy sneakers. The reason why this trend reemerged is because of how versatile these types of sneakers are and the many outfits that can be worn with them along with the comfort they provide. 

     Now you may be wondering, how do we know if a sneaker fits into this type of aesthetic? Well, ask yourself this question instead: would Adam Sandler wear this? Or even Bella Hadid? Dad sneakers are meant to give that ‘laid back’ style regardless of whether you are just going for a grocery run or getting coffee in the city. Some sneaker recommendations out there are… 

  1. New Balance 530s, 993s, 9060s 

  2. Nike Air Monarch 

  3. Nike zoom Vomero 

  4. Nike Air Max

  5. Nike M2k Tekno

  6. Asics Gel Nimbus 9

  7. Nike Uptempos 

  8. Reebok C 85s 

  9. Skechers Men’s Energy Afterburn Lace-Up Sneaker

  10. Nike Cortezs or Nike Air Tailwinds

     Out of these sneakers, New Balance has recently been a popular pick among adolescents and even older groups partaking in the trend because of its simplicity and clean style they give off. They have proved to be comfortable while also seamlessly blending into a new look for every trend. Some trends out there that may tempt us to recklessly spend money on things, overspending and overconsuming. However, the Dad Sneaker Trend is timeless, something you should invest in because of the many new styles of shoes that will fit anyone’s style and the durability they grant you. To conclude, many fashion styles have made a comeback throughout this year and the last, but these sneakers have proved that they never left and established themselves in the timeless category of fashion.
