A surprising number of sneakers are striding the streets these days. The situation is not a new one — the sneaker fad started as early as about three years ago — but the boom has from time to time been declared bust, simply a trend that was bound to die out.It has not. This year again, sneaker-clad feet are on the increase in town. Viewing the situation, this writer can’t help but think sneakers are no longer a mere trendy item but have won nike air max 90 essential in the fashion world, gaining a status similar to heels or other leather shoes.It was Chanel’s spring-summer 2014 haute couture show in January 2014 that really got the recent sneaker boom going.

There were even cases in which people wearing the popular Nike sneakers were attacked and had their shoes stolen. Known as the “Air Max gari (hunting)” social problem, the episodes show the extent of the shoe’s cultural impact.Three years ago — long after the nike air max 90 premium craze settled down — sneakers made a comeback. The comeback was thought to be part of the then-popular “90s boom,” but that does not seem to be the case.Jeans are another clothing item once seen as a fad but that came to be widely accepted in 21st-century society. Women began wearing them not only when commuting but also at the office, winning them “citizenship” as an item of fashion.Acquiring this fashion citizenship meant being exempted from the dress code no-no list of conservative-minded major companies. These rules, strictly upheld to maintain nike air max 90 hyperfuse once prohibited employees from wearing jeans or sneakers at the office. Those who violated the rules would have been strongly cautioned not to wear them by otsubone senior female workers.
