WHY I LOVE UGLY DAD TRAINERS !



Hey, guys, I've been really bad at blogging, Uni is really in the way LOL but today we are talking about the infamous dad trainer trend. If you haven't seen this trend then I'm not sure where the hell you've been. Various brands from affordable Adidas to high end designers such as Gucci and Balenciaga have jumped on this wave and I must say done it pretty well.

 For all those who are thinking what the hell is a dad trainer anyway, imagine the geekiest dad ever that happens to be a PE teacher too. If you have the image in your head you know the kind of trainers I'm talking about. But why are we bringing but a trend that was never cool to start with ? I hear you say, welllll next question ... I don't know but its cool fashion has no logic and that's part of the fun! I think its all about the chunky platform sole which I must say was brought back by queen RiRi with her Fenty puma collection. If you have been reading my blog from wayyyyy back then you will know I have a bizarre passion for chunky, platform shoes, trainers, heels, boots all of it! so naturally when I saw this dad trend I was intrigued!

 Here's a typical dad trainer, just look at the damn craftsmanship of this shoe, it's beautiful! It looks like it been layered delicately like a 3 tier wedding cake,( please someone say they understand what I'm talking about). Its got all the basics of a dad trainer. let's do some dissecting of this shoe.
 1.Super thick sole
2. Looks super comfortable for the walks with the kids
3. Laces are done up nice and tight for that support.
4. Slightly dirty looking from playing with the kids in the grass ( yes that is the colour they are meant to be)
5. Multiple materials that look durable and long lasting, just because dads are all about long lasting shoes of course
 6. Classic Balenciaga label on the side to swag it out.

   Boom and there you have it, the dad trainer.
 So if you're on the lookout for dad trainers this is what to look out for! I will love you and leave you guys with some more dad trainer pictures to indulge in! Till next time guys peace and love!
