In the ever-changing world of sneaker culture, “sportstyle” sneakers, also known as runners, are making huge waves and becoming the ultimate trend in fashion right now.
Leading the way in this runner revolution are brands like New Balance, Asics, Salomon, and more. These kicks have evolved from their ’90s sports shoe origins to cover both lifestyle and performance needs.
