Staple Sneakers: Revisiting Foundational Footwear

Dec 28, 2022

If you’re into classic sneakers or sneakerhead shoes, there are a few famous sneakers you need to have in your collection. Not only are these kicks some of the best around, but they’re also some of the best everyday shoes a sneaker lover could ask for.

So whether you’re on the lookout for the most popular athletic shoes in the industry or you’re simply on the search for a sneak that can keep up with your busy life, Hibbett | City Gear has the must-have shoes you need to not only conquer your day but look and feel good while doing it.

Vintage Vibes

If you’re a throwback style fan or you just want a comfortable casual shoe, consider the classic sneaker that can trend up almost any fit — the Converse Chuck Taylor. Joggers and a hoodie for men? Back-to-school clothes for kids? A cute spring dress for the ladies? This versatile kick goes with everything and makes rocking your love for sneakerhead shoes super easy. And if you want another option for a great vintage shoe, try Vans. They even have a variety of apparel to choose from, so you can match from toe to head, whether you’re a checkerboard stan or you prefer a black Old Skool.

Sneakerhead Essentials

There are certain classic sneakers that every sneakerhead must have in their closet. But it’s not enough to just have them on your shelves. You’ve got to understand their storied history. Take the Air Jordan 1, for instance. Not only is this sneaker among the best must-have shoes of all time, but it’s a kick that made history when Michael Jordan took the hardcourt stage in these famous sneakers.
