H&M is known for keeping up with popular trends at a pocket-friendly, and the apparel company has done just that, but with sneakers this time. Drawing inspiration from one of adidas' most popular silhouette, the Stan Smith, and arguably Nike's most popular silhouette, the Air Force 1, and H&M has two new sneakers that are available now.
Since its debut in the 1970s, the adidas Stan Smith has became a time-tested design that sneaker collectors still love today. With a retail price of $75, H&M has copied the design and is selling for $40. The Nike Air Force 1 was designed by Bruce Kilgore in 1982 and has become a sneaker almost synonymous with Nike itself. With a retail price of $95, the mid-top sneaker was copied by H&M and is selling for $50.
To diehard sneakerheads, the inspired sneakers – or copies to some – are not a solid replacement for the original sneakers, regardless of the price. After all, it's the little details that matter the most to collectors. For those simply looking to recreate the style these are a great bang for your buck.
