2024 confirms the return of skater sneakers (or shit-crushers for the haters)

Have you ever come across hordes of twenty-something fashionistas in baggy jeans and shit crushers? It is in fact the return of skate sneakers with very thick soles and disproportionate laces to be worn with wide trousers and tight tops that will reign in 2024.

Y2K obliges, in the wake of cargo and parachute pants, there is also a resurgence of interest in loose sneakers. Your parents may have called them “shit crushers,” but they have the virtue of being comfortable and keeping their feet on the ground. Although, according to the skaters, they rather turned Avril Lavigne’s head.

Where does the return of skate sneaker hype come from?

We owe this return of hype to the Lanvin house, which in recent years has updated its cult Curb model, directly inspired by the skate sneakers of the 90s. Today, Gen Z loves to wear this luxury model or more authentic and accessible versions like the D3 2001 from Osiris, the DC ones or even any pair of Vans. Rihanna got it right too as she stacked her Fenty brand with Puma and brought out the Creeper Phatty on her. You will have understood that the flatter and thicker the sole, the more disproportionate the laces are and the more you will fall into the skate sneaker trend that will probably arrive in 2024.

With what to wear skate shoes?

These are the type of shoes that can easily be worn with a fitted, second-skin top, and very loose fitting pants, like baggy jeans or a dressier palazzo that will contrast nicely. And ride the youth!
