Nostalgia for 2000? You are not the only ones. From cargo pants to parachutes, children’s t-shirts and jewelry with teeth, fashion has now revived the 2000 trend with an urban and casual twist paired with a unisex silhouette. These are the oversized sneakers, the typical soft-lined models favored by skaters who are stronger than before and are also conquering high fashion brands. Do you remember Globe, Osiris and Etnies? The sneaker of the moment seems to want to emulate the underground models of the 2000s, strictly worn with baggy low-waisted jeans.
First of all, Marni’s Bigfoot 2.0 sneakers conquered the scene. The name is already a guarantee, because the brand has signed one of the biggest models at the moment, combining the chunky look of a skate shoe with a quilted soft texture that is all the rage of late. The effect is oversized and very soft, joining the cartoonish wave that has swept pop fashion in 2023.
Another sneaker that marks an unprecedented milestone in the world of massive things is the sneakers signed by Dior and ERL (Eli Russell Linnetz). Flaunting her is none other than Billie Eilish on the pink carpet at the Barbie premiere in Los Angeles. The pop star opted for a preppy ensemble, focusing on soft pink pumps with a doll-like effect. At the show last year, one of the first to wear oversized Dior x ERL sneakers was Kid Cudi instead of a fuchsia quilted model.
Sydney Sweeney also succumbs to the allure of quilted sneakers, walking out in Cannes in May in white Miu Miu Denim sneakers paired with a Celine crop top. On the other hand, it is the Blackpinks who bring back a vintage model that brings us back to the world of basketball. It’s the Adidas Campus 00 sneaker, first introduced to the market under the Tournament name, making a comeback in its chunky and oversized look on the feet of the world’s most beloved K-pop stars. Vintage passion also for Bella Hadid, who immediately got her hands on the early 2000s-inspired Adidas x Bad Bunny Forum Buckle Low with their chunky silhouette and gray and black colorway.
But street fashion lovers certainly can’t miss the Louis Vuitton sneakers worn by Lewis Hamilton in Monte Carlo in May. The pilot opted for an oversized model with a neutral color scheme combined with a look from the fashion house’s spring-summer 2023 collection.
Among modern sneakers, Lanvin’s oversized Curb also features prominently, while for the more romantic models, Viktor & Rolf and Superga created a candy pink satin-covered model with a soft silhouette and laces that tie in a formidable bow.
