Love them or hate them, one thing is certain – sneakers finally entered the mainstream and here to stay.
The last few years have presented volume of evidence that cannot be overcome to support this claim.
As we see this trend of cement becomes the mainstream, Vedant Lamba, the founder of the mainstreet market includes some trends which he thinks will shine brightly throughout the 2022.
Take care of your eyes.
Slide: pushing the boundaries of Comfort Centric Fashion – Slide has seen a strong boom in 2021.
We see broad releases of Yeezy slides, some brands become innovative with functional design and innovation and Balmain may find them back to cool with their teasing eccentric slide designs on Instagram.
I think 2022 will see deeper acceptance of all footwear in this category.
Slides, foam runners, crocs, things like that.
Luxury home design produces sneakers: We saw Virgil made the waves when he joined LV.
His first collection is clearly beautiful but I think 2022 is the year the theme of this production will enter normally.
Gucci and Balenciaga Collab, LVS New Trainer, LV X Nike AF1S, all support the same thing.
Luxury shoes for the longest time are seen low in the world of sneakers.
This changes and 2022 is the year we see is the strongest acceptance.
Last but not a little, and our personal favorite – vintage head shoes.
-Baru balance, white X Jordan 2s, and other sneakers have made wonders to drive popularity for this trend.
You don’t need to spend a million dollars to feel like it’s in the hype universe.
Similar to how AF1 is always cool – we will see many more cool vintage-oriented boots.
