The sneakers that took 2015 by storm.
I, personally, am obsessed with this trend and want to extend a big thank you out to RUN D.M.C. for making these bad boys popular back in the day. We all know fashion repeats itself and this is one trend I’m glad to see made a comeback.
Living in Seoul, South Korea for the past year I am here to tell you that Superstars were undoubtedly the biggest fashion trend of 2015 in Korea. Everyone, and by everyone I mean EVERYONE has a pair.
And seeing as my personal style is highly influenced by that of Korean streetwear, Superstars quickly made their way into my heart.
But why do I love them so much? And why do I think you will love them to?
Superstars have the ability to complete your outfit, adding edginess while still keeping a sense of sophistication. Their minimalistic charm allows versatility that can literally work with every concept.
One of my favorite streetwear photographers, Alex Finch (who shot the pics above, find her work @iamalexfinch) was able to capture the charm that Superstars can add to an outfit. Although the concepts differ greatly from one another the simplicity of a sneaker adds for a clean-cut finish to each outfit.
You’ve already opened another tab and you’re searching for where you can cop a pair, right? I don’t blame you. As a matter of fact, if I were you I’d get one in each color.
