Celebrating International Women’s Day with the true definition of uniqueness

March 8 is annually celebrated as International Women’s Day. This year, Footshop decided to engage with the word unique, perhaps the most general, yet most specific way to describe each of us. It doesn’t even have to take more than a few seconds. The word unique is overused today, but it’s unfortunately usually used in other meanings than the one where it’s true meaning can be fully expressed. The female body is composed of a multitude of inimitable symbols of pride, the result of which can be viewed fr

The biggest name in basketball’s history and quite possibly in its future, was for a long time also a name that despite releasing its own sneakers, and holding a monopoly on the number of successful shots, never won the NBA title. Jordan did not win the title until finally in 1991, when he was wearing the Air Jordan 6 Carmine on his feet, which are now being rereleased years later. “Sixes'' can look like rather

Naming new trends is becoming increasingly difficult. The wide variety that streetwear has to offer, and the ever-growing range of what is considered “IN” no longer go hand-in-hand with unnecessarily restrictive labeling. This is one of the reasons why the segmentation of fashion is increasingly becoming more focused on purpose, activities and interests. In the past year, tourism has grown considerably as one of these categories. Trail and outdoor silhouettes of stylish sneakers are no longer an exception

Immediately after the announcement of the new Nike x Undercover collaboration by the Japanese designer Jun Takahashi, it was obvious that th
