For canvas shoes, I don't know what the concept is in everyone's mind, is it a must-have for campus to wear from childhood to adulthood or a pair of Converse with everyone's hands? From tens to hundreds should have more or less "memories of youth".
But such a pair of daily necessities that have nothing to say cannot escape the law that "with the development of the times, everything will change with it".
690 US dollars, I converted it according to the exchange rate at the moment, which is 4875 yuan. No matter how you think about it, it is a sky-high price for a pair of canvas shoes.
Curious about the brand, I announced that it was The Row. A brand that can't see the brand but sells very expensive, knowledgeable people should see the name and immediately mutter: Oh, it turned out to be it, no wonder so daring.
As you can see in the details, it is indeed a pair of shoes made of its practical canvas material. There is not much technical content, and there is no special design, but because it is The Row, because this brand can be equated with "quality", no matter how expensive it is, it has followers. The brand announced sales in the first quarter of this year, in addition to bags, Canvas Sneaker (canvas shoes) was the runner-up in sales.
In addition to beige, there are also black and white colors. The upper foot is particularly casual, which is very in line with the current popular aesthetic.
If you often pay attention to the fashion circle, you must see that since this year, fashion celebrities have been leading a seemingly "friendly" casual way of dressing: holding unnamed bags and wearing unknown canvas shoes.
This kind of outfit does not care about what they look like in the outside world, after the days of global epidemic prevention, the out-of-circle canvas shoes have the meaning of refusing to return to the original normal and involuted life. So like the big bag, it is the product of current events.
(Note: $ is a dollar sign)
(Pictured are The Row's other pairs of popular canvas shoes)
Most people's inherent perception of canvas shoes may be related to sports, because if you search its history, the data will show that the first shoe made by a brand founded in France in 1936 is a pair of tennis canvas shoes, and the NBA's historical archives will also tell you that canvas shoes are their important soul carrier. ▼
In fact, digging deeper will reveal that before that, canvas shoes represented a more advanced and luxurious lifestyle.
The situation in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century was the only focus of life for ordinary people to avoid war, but those who were really rich began to study how to enjoy vacations, and it gradually became a fashion for the rich to go to the beach to find freedom. Therefore, a pair of light and decent shoes has become a rigid need, and canvas shoes are naturally the best choice. In the beginning, a pair of canvas shoes sold for about $10 a pair, which was a real "luxury" in those days.
Okay, so writing here, there is basically a general idea. The emergence of canvas shoes actually exists to serve the rich, because they are easy to wear and suitable for socializing and have been promoted to the public.
In other words, the luxury of canvas shoes is no different from the nature of big-name bags. So looking back at The Row's luxury selling price, it seems strange. If you study the current pairs of explosive canvas shoes, you will find that most of them are "expensive" and "hot", and there is a trend that the more expensive they are, the better they sell.
BV's Vulcan is one of the most sought-after canvas shoes of the moment, with a rounded toe that maximizes comfort while differentiating it from ordinary canvas shoes. The brand's signature color scheme on the sole makes it recognizable to big names. Not only that, but friends who have started all praise its good foot feeling.
Chinese officials are currently selling two colors of high and low gangs, and the 3.5cm heel degree comes with an invisible height increase function.
Most of the shoes shared by social media are paired with very casual jeans or other daily wear, and almost no one is deliberately concave. Obviously, after the rolls, everyone gradually got tired. The new trend no longer looks like there is any threshold, and everyone can do whatever they want.
Therefore, Balenciaga's pair of dirty Paris shoes that are worn out to look like they were taken directly from the medieval market and do not need to be washed again.
Among them, denim and pink are the hottest at the moment, and the feedback is "it's dirty but smelly". Balenciaga's brand recognition is not only "sloppy" but also made at the top of the shoe, a line of low-key but visible brand logo is very personal, intentionally or unintentionally revealing your unique taste.
Did you find it, many of the girls who shared it were directly hung up with the live picture, no need to retouch, it was so casual. I bought a pair of big red myself, if I can describe it in one sentence, it is the most comfortable pair of my many Balencia shoes (strong feeling of stepping on~).
It is according to the degree of help and style, the price is also slightly different, you can refer to the following on sale:
Writing here, it is indispensable to have Maison Margiela's classic split-toe canvas shoes with a more out-of-the-loop design. Its price has increased by a full 500 yuan from last year to this year, and its current price is 4880 yuan.
Compared to the brand's leather split-toe shoes, the texture of the canvas will be harder, so it is inevitable that there will be a run-in time at the beginning. It is recommended that if you are not used to wearing split-toe shoes, you should obediently buy the regular model~
Or you can buy the regular new cookie canvas shoes, Margiela's sole knows everything, the main thing is a comfort.
If you pay more attention to the brand effect, then LV's new Squad classic old canvas shoes launched this year, although the price is not low, but from the consideration of usage and classic elements, it can be regarded as having a certain cost performance.
Gucci's Tennis 1977 collection is also an evergreen model in the fashion world, and since its launch three years ago, you can still see boys and girls wearing it on the street. Following the trend of the brand, it has also increased its price several rounds in recent years, so if you like it, you still have to start as soon as possible.
Canvas shoes are a category that doesn't have the formality of leather shoes or be as scruffy as slippers, and it maintains a certain social politeness compared to sneakers, and I believe most people will wear it when they want to relax but can't be completely presumptuous. This disorderly and unrestrained aesthetic is also the most needed in daily life in the end, people cannot maintain a tense and perfect state anytime and anywhere, should be casual when they should be casual, chicken blood when they should be chicken blood, just look at their own mood.
Almost all big brands this year have launched easy canvas shoe styles, I will list a list for you, if necessary, refer to the figure below.
Today's tweet is like this, I hope we can all find the most comfortable and casual state in time, to find fun, to escape, to fantasize, to superficial. ❤️
