The Newest Sneaker Silhouette You Can Probably Find in Your Dad’s Closet

First came “mom jeans,” now it seems like the latest parental-inspired trend is “dad sneakers.”

High-fashion sneakers have been in since roughly 2013, and the latest iteration of the trend channels the chunky New Balances that a fashion-clueless dad wears because they’re “so comfortable.” With Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton at the forefront of this trend, and Christopher Kane showing bejewelled orthopaedic shoes at his F/W 2018 collection, you’ve likely already seen this look all over street style. Think thick when looking for your next pair of sneakers as chunky soles are the key element of this latest look.

Click through below to decide which pair of “dad sneakers” are right for you.
