Una nuova direzione per gli sneakerhead
In recent years, sneakers have dominated the streetwear world, overcoming traditional silhouettes. If now the hype and sneakerhead culture are acting as the driving force in the market, recent fashion shows by Prada, Alyx, Dries Van Noten and many others have previewed SS21 with a move away from the strong influence of streetwear collections in high fashion. .
