The nostalgia effect has not only influenced TV productions like the popular TV series Stranger Things, but also brands and designers, who in recent years have revived past trends in their collections. There’s a real return of 80s fashion especially among sneakers models.

Eye-catching colors and retro silhouettes

One of the distinguishing features of vintage sneakers were the bright and bold colors. Even today, new models inspired by that decade confirm the same eye-catching accents in vivid hues. From classic black and white with touches of neon color to more unusual combinations, these models capture the essence of ’80s fashion.

There are some brands which launch special limited editions, such as Nike, which pulled a new version inspired by the Cortez out of the drawer, and Adidas with Gazelles made in collaboration with Gucci.

Adidas launches vintage shoes so often! Not only the Gazelle, but also the Superstar and Stan Smith models have become timeless classics, thanks in part to their clean lines and minimal design.

On the other hand, speaking of luxury brands, it is worth mentioning Prada’s Downtown models and Celine’s sneakers with multicolor inserts, other examples of sneakers that offer the most popular hues of the time, immediately becoming a trend.

Vintage style sneakers also faithfully recreate the iconic shapes of the past. The uppers, thick insoles, and perforated details are just some of the elements that characterize these shoes. In addition, brand logos and labels are often repurposed with a retro design, designed with the purpose of taking us back in time.

Quality materials and modern technology

The new sneakers combine vintage style, high quality and modern technology. For example, the soles may have advanced cushioning that ensures optimal comfort and performance. The fusion of vintage design and innovation thus offers an uncompromising fit experience.
