When it comes to fashion, everything old is new again—as you can tell by the constant parade of Calvin Klein tees and tracksuits on any given city’s streets. The latest reason to click the “buy” button? Legendary styles from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s are experiencing a massive revival, and they’re finding favor among clued-in Instagrammers and New York Fashion Week’s elite right now. (Call it the post-Stan Smiths effect.) Take the reimagined Reebok Freestyle Hi, a 35-year-old Jazzercise staple that’s having a major moment thanks to an exclusive partnership with retailer (and arbiter of all things sweaty-chic) Bandier. “The Freestyle Hi is so popular because it’s not only an iconic shoe, but it’s actually supportive, stylish, and durable,” explains Jennifer Bandier, the retailer’s founder. Another buzzy partnership uniting old and new? Fila and Urban Outfitters—where you can find the reissued version of the tennis brand’s original, Björn Borg-approved sneakers.

Insiders like fashion editor Eva Chen and the Urban Bush Babes bloggers are frequently spotted in the circa-’72 kicks. Throwback trainers are also proving popular because their simple silhouettes can be rendered in just about any on-trend color or material—meaning that there’s a pair for every style tribe. For instance, the Vans Old Skool is now available in everything from palm print to glitter, while the Nike Cortez—which first dropped 45 years ago as the brand’s inaugural track shoe—has recently been updated in satin and velvet. “The sleek design of the [Cortez] makes it easy for us to play with both essential and progressive colors that are very wearable,” explains Andrea Corradini, Nike’s senior product director for women. Wearable it is—insiders like fashion editor Eva Chen and the Urban Bush Babes bloggers are frequently spotted in the circa-’72 kicks. And with dozens of OGs to choose from, it’s clear that shoe racks are only going to keep getting more crowded through spring.

“It’s such an exciting time because girls are wearing sneakers—and they’re very proud to be wearing sneakers,” says Jenna Sarti, Reebok Classic’s senior product manager. cheap womens nike skate shoesEven better if those kicks have fashion history on their side.nike tennis shoes free shipping Sunny days were made for fresh kicks. running shoes calgarySneakerheads can get their fix with adidas Originals and Nike, while Converse and Vans offer the cult classics. cheap block heel shoes ukIf logos are a no-go, cop some plimsolls in slip-on and lace-up styles.running shoes adidas sale

LeBron James loves his Nike retro shoe on January 13, 2017 at 11:00 PM, updatednike white shoes ladies SACRAMENTO -- When LeBron James returns to Sacramento he begins to reflect. On his first NBA game in 2003. On the myriad feelings when he first laced up his signature Nikes inside the locker room at Arco Arena. "It was just a dream come true," James said Friday. "Just an 18-year-old kid that has so many dreams and the odds are stacked up against him. For me to be in a position where I was putting on a pair of shoes that have my name on them, putting on a jersey that had my name on the back, my family's name on the back. "It was just a moment where anything is possible and if you just put your heart into it and you have a great supporting cast and you put in the work, then things can come true. It was a great moment for me." James went back to that special place Friday night, as he showed up to the Kings' new arena, Golden 1 Center, in a pair of retros -- Nike Air Zoom Generation 1s.

Had to wear these to game tonight and Man I'm still shook over this moment in time in my life! Thinking back to that 18 year old kid from Akron Ohio when this journey begun. So damn emotional right now just thinking about where I've come from. What moms had to go through to keep her only son happy, feed, clothed, etc etc when she didn't have the means to do so! You're incredible and that's why you're God to me in my eyes no matter what's happened throughout the years. Nobody is perfect but the support we get from loved ones will get us through anything. Nike thanks for taking a chance on a skinny kid from the inner city with out of this world dreams and aspirations!! A photo posted by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Jan 13, 2017 at 6:20pm PST During pregame, James -- along with Tristan Thompson and Iman Shumpert -- was wearing the sneakers with the red and white colorway commonly called the "First Game." James wore those not in his debut in Sacramento -- black and white that evening -- but his home opener in Cleveland against Carmelo Anthony's Denver Nuggets.

"The first one is my favorite because it's the beginning," he said. "It's like your first child. I know you're not supposed to pick one or the other, even though my daughter is above everybody in the household right now, but it was the first, it was the start of it all. I'm just blessed to be in this position today." James revealed the news of the retro kicks in a video on Uninterrupted Thursday night. .@KingJames is bringing the [?] with a special announcement. -- UNINTERRUPTED (@uninterrupted) January 13, 2017 "The conversation has been going on for a couple years now, but we wanted to make sure the timing was right," James said. "We've been listening to a lot of the people that's been following my career and sneakerheads been following my career. I've been giving a little bit of a hint every now and then, wearing retros, things of that nature, just to gauge my fans and gauge my people who have been along the journey with me. It's been a conversation, but it finally came together the last couple months."

Part of the process since day one, James has spoken about his gratitude towards Nike, as the company made a bet on him 14 years ago, before he even played a professional game. Nike reinforced that belief with a lifetime deal in December 2015. "The lifetime deal wasn't much of a bet. That was a for-sure thing," James said with a smile. "The first one was a bet. They took a chance on me and if you've ever read 'Shoe Dog,' Phil Knight's book, (there's a passage about) my showing my appreciation to him, I got him a Rolex. The same year that the Rolex came out was the same year that Nike was introduced to the world. And I wrote, had it engraved, on the inside of the Rolex, just, 'Thanks for taking a chance on an 18-year-old kid from Akron, Ohio.' Actually, it was 'a skinny kid from Akron, Ohio.' "So, they took a chance and it was up to me to believe in myself and I was able to do that." James said Friday he paid off that bet the first time he stepped on the court in Sacramento.
