Footwear Nostalgia: Chunky Sneakers You Love to Hate

The 90s are back in a MAJOR way as of late. Nostalgia is definitely a driving force in fashion, people love to live in a reverie of when things were great, aka their childhood. Brands are taking notes and are creating a resurgence of fashions from back in the day.

The only chunky sole I can bear to stand are lug sole booties, however others beg to differ. The release of Balenciaga’s Triple-S was the start of it all…for me at least. As a child I despised chunky sneakers so the sight of them now makes me cringe, but its what the people want!

Then the Eytys Angel sneaker was donned upon us….now if I had to choose I’d prefer these over the Triple-S any day. Maybe its because of the options they come in like shiny leather, monochrome suede or the two tone sole? I don’t know but..you decide.

Being re-released in black and white colorways, these shoes already have a serious waiting list.
