Hender Scheme Led the Natural Leather Wave The ’90s revival is still going strong, and sportswear and streetwear are so closely related that we can see the retro-sporty look sticking around for a while yet.

The sportswear/athleisure/whatever you want to call it craze has been going strong for a few years now, but 2015 saw fresh appearances from brands you'd be forgiven for thinking only existed in history books. Big logos, big cuts and big color-blocking was the order of the day here, as FILA's SS16 collection, Umbro's Pro Training line, Champion's legendary sweats and Diadora's high-end footwear all harked back to athleticwear's glory years, no doubt fueled by the ’90s nostalgia that's been so prevalent in recent seasons. Don't count on the shoe to stick around when everyone's returned to fiendishly collecting sneakers again. The sneaker fever gripping the world was bound to let up at some point - this year saw streetwear heads lured away from their Jordans and Tier Zero Nikes, channeling a bit of Parisian chic and flexing in plush Chelsea boots instead.Ģ015's street style galleries were awash with sandy-hued suede boots (with a smattering of buckled Jodhpurs, too), usually worn with distressed denim, biker jackets and wide-brimmed hats for a touch of je ne sais quoi that would have Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane feeling very smug indeed.Īs with so many trends in men's fashion, you can probably trace this one back to either A$AP Rocky or Kanye West Lord Yeezus in particular has been stunting in some beaten-up Bottega Veneta boots for a minute now, most notably in his glorious 2014 GQ cover shoot.Īlthough we'll always encourage style-conscious dressers to try something a little more adventurous footwear-wise, the streetwear community's embracing of the Chelsea boot could very well be this year's answer to the 2011 boat shoe craze.
