Classic Shoes

CLASSIC SHOES

Classic shoes are what started it all. If it weren't for them then we wouldn't have shoes. Some examples of classic would be shoes like stan smiths, vans, shell toes, cortez, gazelles, chuck taylors etc.

These shoes have been the building blocks for shoe designers over the past fifty years or so. They are all very simple shoes but are all still worn my millions to this day. They are all quite similar when it comes to the front of the shoe. All of them have the toe box distinctively separate to the rest of the shoe. This is still done today even with new shoes. They are still coming up with new colour ways of these shoes. These shoes are timeless and their possibilities endless.

 I actually have all three of the shoes above but in different colours. The cortez and stan smiths are comfortable but the converse aren't as much, but still comfy. They are also pretty cheap, the stan smiths are about 60/70 the cortez probably the same and the converse were €49. And that brings us to the end of my blog. I hope you enjoyed


The Best Shoe


  THE BEST SHOE


The best shoe in the world, in my opinion would have to be these all black vans authentic. I believe this for a number of reasons. Which are listed down below





                                                                 
1- They are very cheap:
These shoes can cost you around €30-€50 depending where you buy them. But I got mine for thirty on sale. this is a pretty reasonable price considering they are good quality.

2- They go with everything:
These shoes go with any outfit you wear and can be worn on any occasion, be it fancy or kicking a ball about with your mates these vans do the job. They go with shorts, trousers and tracksuit bottoms and because they are all black they go with almost every colour

3- Fashionable: 
The shoe is extremely simple but it works. This shoe has been around since 1966 and people still love them. Its a timeless shoe and is worn by people all over the world. 

4- Durable:
The shoe is very durable for what it is. For example if you wear them constantly for a year or two, like I did they will begin to loose grip and the mid soul might crack but i think thats good for a shoe you can wear with anything. They are also great for playing football in.

Those were the reasons why I think these vans are the best shoes in the world.

NIKE V ADIDAS

NIKE V ADIDAS


Nike and adidas have been rivals in the shoe industry for decades. Although adidas has been around longer nike changed the shoes forever. But lately nike have been lacking in ideas where as adidas have been the complete opposite, coming up with their new mid soul, 'boost'. This recently has become very popular. Some popular shoes with  boost are NMDs and ultra boost. Some famous people have made these type of shoes famous just by wearing them. People like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams both have their own line of boost shoes, Kanye has his yeezys and Pharrell has the 'human race' line. boost hasnt just become popular because famous people have been wearing it, it is also because these shoes are extremely comfortable. Because these shoes are now so popular adidas have bumped up the prices of them from around €120-€200. Adidas have also been doing very well with selling their older shoes like stan smiths and superstars.

On the hand nike havent been doing to well in the shoe industry. They have been lacking ideas and haven't been providing much for the public. People have only really been buying their older shoes like air max1, 90s, 95s, prestos, janoskis and cortez.
