Initially, gumshoes were called sand shoes, which were intended for coastal walks. The official date of birth of the sneakers is considered to be 1916, when the company "Keds" released the first pair. Actually, from there came the name of the shoe.
The popularization of shoes occurred with the advent of the Converse brand. In 1917, Marcus Converse released a game for basketball players and the already famous athlete Chuck Taylor contributed to the boom in the brand's products. Today, converses are breaking sales records - statistics say that the brand has worn more than 800 million pairs of legs.
Gumshoes, keds, sneakers, slip-ons - they are often confused, but there are differences between them. Sneakers, unlike sneakers, are made on a solid flat sole, without lining fabric, due to which the top is less massive.
Gumshoes are synonymous with the general concept of sneakers.
Slip-ons are shoes without laces, whereas in sneakers, laces or Velcro are a mandatory element.

The height varies - sneakers can barely cover the heels, and reach almost to the knee. There are 3 types:
It is worth highlighting the model with a lapel. Such are worn, lowering the lower leg down, but you need to lace up the shoes only halfway, leaving the upper part free.
In the men's series of models, the thickness of the sole varies slightly, but the female one is represented by a richer assortment:

Nubuck is a soft, pleasant to the touch and slightly hairy material. Of all the above, it is the rarest, but periodically appears in the collections of brands such as Converse or River Island.

Despite the relevance of such shoes at all times, there are also sharp trends that will help make the image even more relevant. Among them are bright models with unusual prints, as in the collections of Converse and Isabel Marant. Another favorite is the platform sneakers that Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber have fallen in love with.

A bright trend was sneakers in the old school style in the spirit of the 90s. Vans have long decided to periodically re-release their iconic models. One of the striking examples is corduroy sneakers. Another option is shoes with scuffs, like from an old chest. Combining such sneakers with a colorful dress, it is easy to create an outfit in the style of boho or retro. If you wear such a model with jeans and a shirt, you will get a fashionable casual look.
A couple of years ago, everyone was sure that sneakers were in the past. But the platform is back. The boom began in 2021 and continues to capture magazine covers. Platform sneakers are used as an alternative to heels and are often worn even with evening dresses.

Everyone is used to classic sneakers with laces, and Velcro is a relatively new format. This innovation was liked by celebrities and brands. Suffice it to recall the famous Stan Smith from Adidas. Leather sneakers with Velcro are often produced as a demi-season version of shoes.
A great way to make a basic wardrobe more interesting is to add a couple of colored sneakers to it. Feel free to experiment with shades, choosing acidic, like Vans or Adidas. Colorblock models are especially in demand in 2022. Also hits were sneakers of contrasting shades with each other.

Leopard and any other animalistic print is an unequivocal favorite of designers, for example, Vans. Original lines and abstraction also look stylish and will dilute the monoloque.

Sneakers are a new classic, especially in the current frenzied rhythm, when you always need to run somewhere. Interesting and bright models are more than enough. The main thing is to choose your ideal pair. And what kind of sneakers will you flaunt this year?
