Forget Mom Jeans— This Spring is all about the Dad Sneaker!

Forget mom jeans; fashion has now reached peak dad! Dad shoes got their name thanks to their retro appearance. Known by many names – chunky sneakers, ugly sneakers, turbo trainers – this style of footwear is enjoying a moment. Most look like they've come straight out of your father's ’80s wardrobe: Think nondescript white Buffalo shoes, paired with GUESS x J Balvin tube socks and a Lee Cooper jeans. Many feature thick soles and an overall chunky look, which screams comfort over chic.
