Born from the vibrant energy of music, sports, and art, fashion houses make the culture move. While it often defies an easy definition, its essence is instantly recognizable—from retro sportswear and luxury casuals to the pandemic-era comfort-wear, tech-wear, and the epic sneaker culture, fashion is a melting pot of influences. It’s what you make it. Famed fashion photographer Bill Cunningham once declared, “The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been, and always will be.”

Stepping into the new decade of the 2000’s, the culture began to diversify their scope of high end fashion sensibilities.  

Fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent (later dropping the Yves), Mason Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Raf Simons, Balenciaga, Balmain, and Givenchy set you apart from the rest. One thing was clear though as this decade progressed and our generation took over: we looked less at rappers to rise and take their styles and trends, and instead looked more to trends rising and rappers making them famous.

It’s been a rather lackluster start to the year in the world of sneakers. The good news is that the sneaker-verse hasn't lost its footing; this uninspired beginning isn't, by any means, a reflection on the rest of the year. On the contrary, the next few months are gearing up to be arguably some of the strongest in sneaker history.

While today’s digital-first environment has significantly impacted the retail landscape, there are several advantages of brick-and-mortar stores that set them apart.
