Thanks to popular sneaker styles like the Adidas Sambas and Gazelles, it feels like we’ve forgotten that sneakers are meant to serve a purpose.
Which means… they’re not always going to look pretty.

As a fashion writer, I’m constantly scouring the streets to spot the latest trends, and one style that’s been impossible to miss is the sneakers with swiss-cheese soles.
After a bit of digging — and some Google Reverse Image Search-ing — I discovered that the shoe everyone seems to be obsessed with is by a Swiss brand called On.
I’ll admit, I was… confused.
Why would anyone spend over $200 on a pair of sneakers that aren’t particularly chic? That same day my husband (who happens to be a huge sneakerhead) came home with a pair of his own.
When I asked him how they differ from the millions of pairs he owns already he responded, “they’re SO comfortable”.
And you know what, shame on me for thinking aesthetics are everything.
