The name Dad sneakers actually says it all. These sneakers are inspired by the shoes of the past. The sneakers that your father wore at the time (in the 90s). Characteristic of the Dad sneaker is the coarse sole that this shoe has. A striking sole, which is often white, but which sometimes also contains a color. The sturdy thick sole provides ultimate comfort and is also somewhat reminiscent of the Nikes of the past, so the sneaker has the appearance of a sports shoe.
