Sneakers: An Urban Icon

18

July

The Dunk was first introduced to the world in the mid 1980s. Most colleges and university basketball wore Dunks during those days, and since being reintroduced at the end of the 1900s, Nike Dunk sneakers have planted themselves firmly in the urban fashion world.

The Dunk of today has a lower profile outer sole than the original. The reason for this was to provide the daily wearer a lighter weight shoe. The Dunk uses what Nike refers to as “College Colors’ and the company signed some college B-ball teams to exclusive Dunk sponsorship deals. The deal was that each pair of Dunks matched the teams colors.  Today you can purchase non-team colors and hip hop artists and celebrities are routinely spotted wearing Nike Dunks.

Air Jordans or simply Jordans, were first made for and endorsed by basketball great Michael Jordan. Air Jordans are now sold by Jordan Brand which is a spin-off of Nike. If you are lucky enough to see Air Jordans for sale you will have the chance to own a truely classic basketball shoe.
Air Jordans are collected, believe it or not, and the collectors classify the line by year and model. Air Jordans are mostly sold online, but can also be purchased at sneaker retailers and boutiques.

Air Jordan shoes are so popular that they are counterfeited. The counterfeiters are mainly based in China and these fake Air Jordans are most usually sold on Ebay. Air Jordan shoes are, and will continue to be, THE premier sneaker in the world.


Great Shoes Are Legendary

Have you ever seen a guy all dressed up from head to toe, only for your eyes to wander down to his feet and he is wearing a pair of old sneakers, or worse yet, some scuffed up penny loafers? Ugh! It doesn’t matter how expensive your clothing is, if you have on a pair of lousy shoes, it ruins the entire look.
Men of class know how to dress for success. Everything that hangs in their closet is a top name brand, even the pajamas and leisure wear. If you look down, you will no doubt see Christian Louboutin shoes lined up as well as other top-of-the line designer footwear. Men with class and men with style wear mens True Religion jeans for example and not just any brand that happened to be on sale one day at the mall.

A well-dressed man knows the importance of having great shoes. They say shoes make the man and that is very right. If you have on the wrong shoes at a job interview or while making a sales pitch at a marketing meeting, chances are good that your ideas will be dismissed. On the other hand, if you are wearing the latest pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, people will sit up and take notice. This is how it works, be it right or wrong. Fashion is important in our society and knowing how to dress correctly can literally determine your success in life.


Fun Designer Shoes

They say shoes make the outfit, and ask anyone who knows high fashion and they will no doubt agree. There is nothing worse than finding the perfect outfit, bringing it home and then discovering that you do not have any shoes that match!

Designer shoes are great fun! They come in a wide array of styles and colors and are constantly changing with the times.  There are many people, especially women, who are not ashamed to proclaim to the world that they are totally hooked on designer shoes. Some women have hundreds of pairs in their closets and are always on the lookout for the next hottest pair to hit the shops.

If you have ever owned a pair of Prada shoes, you know that not only do designer shoes look great, but they are extremely comfortable too.  When you pay several hundreds of dollars for a pair of shoes, you can bet the designers went to great lengths to make them as comfy as possible.
Gucci shoes are some of the most popular designer shoes. You can go ‘all Gucci’ and dress yourself in head to toe with this great brand. Gucci shoes are very popular among the jetsetting crowd.

Maybe you are not a ‘designer shoe addict’ but simply just enjoy a great looking pair of shoes. If you want to find a great deal on designer shoes, shop around a bit as you will not necessarily find the best deals in the local mall.
