What Non-Sneakerheads Think About 25 Iconic Sneakers

Hint: They're not easily impressed.

None

Why do we wear the sneakers we do? Sometimes it's simply because we like them, but a lot of the time it's to impress others. And whether it's by "breaking necks" or by Instagram likes, often it's an attempt to impress people we've never met and never will. Here's the thing, though: most people, even those who take a second look at your "heat," have no idea about the significance of the sneaker you so carefully selected. You might know the designer, the color code, even the text from the original ads, but to the average person, they're just another pair of sneakers. Or worse. Here's What Non-Sneakerheads Think About 25 Iconic Sneakers. Read it and weep. Or laugh.
