A Top-Down View of the Sneaker Economy

A Top-Down View of the Sneaker Economy

The sneaker market is bigger than you think. Sneaker and athletic footwear in general have been big players in the athletic retail sector over the past several fiscal quarters. From Nike and On Running to Adidas and Lululemon, the industry plays a significant role in the overall sports apparel market. Statista’s recently published report on the athletic footwear market indicates that the global “athletic footwear market” was reached $127.3 billion in 2021. However, according to the same report, the market is Vionic Sneakers  only expected to grow at a 4.9% rate. For context, global airport operations are expected to grow at a 47% rate, per IBIS estimates. Since 2010, Nike’s share of revenues from the footwear segment have gone from 11% to 28% of total revenues, representing an ...
TIN CAT SHOES from Washington Ensemble Theatre

TIN CAT SHOES from Washington Ensemble Theatre

Dear Readers, remember Mad Libs from when we were kids? That little book of puzzles where you would ask for random items from a group in order to fill out a story. And remember how when we got the final result we would laugh and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all? Schutz Shoes  Ever tried to read those again? They're not that funny. Now imagine reading those for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the current show from Washington Ensemble Theatre, "Tin Cat Shoes" feels as if it were written by a series of Mad Libs as it's a mishmash of ridiculous elements thrown together in a manic way for 90 minutes and the awkward laughs that it might have elicited from the start of the show quickly waned. Allow me to try and explain the story. I say "try" as there really isn't one. We have a group of hyper...
Katy Perry’s Spring Shoe Collection Is Her Best Yet

Katy Perry’s Spring Shoe Collection Is Her Best Yet

Katy Perry has been a top artist of mine for quite some time—let’s say since 2008. Not only does she have killer vocals, but she is also a bona fide fashion icon. In 2017, Perry launched Katy Perry Collections for people who, like her, wanted bold and stylish shoes at affordable prices. Now, while Perry may be known for her eccentric wardrobe (think about the iconic hamburger dress she wore to the MET Gala in 2019, for instance), Katy Perry Collections offers both casual and creative styles for any occasion. On March 29, the brand released its spring collection with Sorel Sneakers  new arrivals featuring different variations of the brand’s cult-favorite Meadow Classic Platforms, Golden Pumps, Scalloped Shells, sneakers, and more. I had never tried shoes from Katy Perry Collections befor...
This Recurring Shoe Trend Is the Bestseller at Zara Every Year

This Recurring Shoe Trend Is the Bestseller at Zara Every Year

I think I can speak for the Who What Wear team when I say that we love Zara shoes—but who doesn't? As evidenced by how quickly they sell out, it's clear that shoes are one of the brand's most popular categories. Given how expensive they look (but aren't), how trend-forward the styles are, and how extensive the selection is, it's hardly surprising. Something that I tend to wonder about when it comes to Zara is what people specifically gravitate toward when perusing the site, so I was very intrigued to hear what our source at Zara says is its bestselling shoe style every year: clear shoes. Chippewa Boots Given that they go with everything and make every outfit look chic and summery, and how long they've been a trend for, I can't say that I'm surprised. There's also a very robust selec...
I’m a Shoe Person and I Predict These 33 Pairs Will Sell Out First

I’m a Shoe Person and I Predict These 33 Pairs Will Sell Out First

If someone told me that I could only buy one fashion item for the rest of my days (which I hope no one ever does), it would probably be shoes that I would choose. I adore all types of footwear—flats, sandals, heels, boots, sneakers, mules, slides—but at the moment I'm focused on all types of spring and summer shoes. There are a lot of jaw-droppingly good shoes out there right now, Thorogood Boots and I'm slightly overwhelmed by it, so I made a list. On it are It shoes from the likes of Versace and Gucci, sparkly heels, comfortable sandals, colorful sneakers, and plenty of other pairs I can't stop thinking about. I'm sure that any one of these pairs will get you plenty of compliments and will make all of your outfits this season significantly more stylish. Scroll to shop my shoe pic...
