If there’s one almost Kafkaesque dilemma that many people face on a daily basis, it’s choosing the right shoes to match their outfit of the day. But before you get to that point, you need to have made the right choices when shopping. Let’s take a look at the different aspects that make the best pair of sneakers for everyday life. Something for every sneaker lover, in every style.

Choosing the perfect pair of sneakers or how to achieve the grail

The two main rules governing the world of sneakers are simple: always opt for style and never compromise on performance. 

It’s this skilful blend, this subtle alliance, that only the greatest fashion and sports brands can offer to all those who want to walk the streets of life in the best possible conditions. So to find what you’re looking for, and to be able to move with ease on asphalt, parquet or carpet, you need to stay focused on a few new model release alerts. It’s easy: just check all Adidas Originals Niteball releases for example, or the releases of other trendy brands.  

It’s in the midst of such sneaker releases that connoisseurs will recognize the pair or pairs that will be theirs.

Opt for models inspired by iconic sneakers

When you’re looking for the perfect harmony between allure and technical qualities that will carry you through your daily activities, the best recipe is to turn to retro models. Whether you’re looking at reissues, which are often improved in terms of materials and therefore comfort and lightness, or models inspired by iconic shoes with a history recognized by all: you’re on the right track. 

Here’s a perfect example: the new Adidas Niteball shoes, largely inspired by the playground and streetball style of the Streeball 1, 2 and 3 models from the 90s. A common line, an aggressive and very recognizable shape, notably with the brand’s 3 wide stripes: pure inspiration combined with the best of 2020s innovation.

What are the advantages of choosing a pair of sneakers inspired by the past?

As we’ve said, it’s always a good idea to draw on the best of the past. What’s more, today’s fibers and technical innovations are largely compatible with retro models. Another advantage is the ability to take advantage of totally new colors, as well as the integration of modern materials, such as light-reflecting elements. Where 100% retro models will remain based on the original colors, new models inspired by them take the liberties that make all the difference: you’re sure to get noticed in the best possible way. 

The new models, which take advantage of the iconic heritage of the older models, also benefit from contributions from several types of footwear at the same time. In fact, these sneakers will offer the best of what can be done with the different technologies available, whether from running, basketball or soccer, for example. The right mix of clean, recognizable style and modern performance: what more could you ask for? Now you’re ready to take on any concrete jungle, every time.
