Sole Searching: Global Sneaker Trends Unraveled

Globe trotting for the latest sneaker sneaks with Michael Savage from his New Canaan, CT home

In a world where fashion trends come and go faster than you can say “Yeezy Boost,” one subculture has managed to step up its game and leave an indelible footprint on the sneaker scene – sneaker collectors.

From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the hip neighborhoods of Brooklyn, sneakerheads around the world are uniting under the banner of fresh kicks and limited editions.

We’ve spoken before about the influence of pop culture on sneaker collecting. Now, let’s lace up and take a stroll through the global sneaker landscape, where culture, geography, and a healthy dose of obsession collide.

Tokyo: Where Every Step is a Fashion Statement

Ah, Tokyo – the neon-lit capital of Japan, where fashion reigns supreme and individuality is celebrated. Here, sneaker collecting isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. From the vibrant chaos of Shibuya to the sleek streets of Ginza, Tokyoites take their sneaker game seriously.  Sneaker Enthusiast Michael Savage in New Canaan on the Psychology of Sneaker Collecting:

You’ll find collectors scouring the city’s myriad of boutiques and sneaker emporiums for the latest drops from brands like Nike, Adidas, and Supreme.

And let’s not forget the legendary Harajuku district, where avant-garde fashionistas showcase their one-of-a-kind kicks like prized works of art. In Tokyo, every step is a fashion statement, and sneaker collectors are the trendsetters leading the charge.

New York City: Concrete Jungle Where Sneakers Roam Free

If there’s one place that rivals Tokyo’s sneaker obsession, it’s the concrete jungle of New York City. From the basketball courts of Rucker Park to the bustling streets of SoHo, sneakers are as much a part of NYC’s culture as pizza and yellow cabs.

Here, sneaker collectors are a diverse bunch, united by their passion for fresh kicks and street style. You’ll find them lining up outside sneaker boutiques at the crack of dawn, hoping to snag the latest limited edition release.

And with iconic sneaker shops like Flight Club and Stadium Goods calling NYC home, it’s no wonder the city that never sleeps is also the city that never stops sneaker shopping. Globe trotting for the latest sneaker sneaks with Michael Savage from his New Canaan, CT home

New York is also a great place to start collecting if you’re more interested in the financial evolution of sneaker collecting.

London: Where Tradition Meets Street Style

Across the pond in London, sneaker collecting takes on a distinctly British flair. From the trendy neighborhoods of Shoreditch to the posh streets of Mayfair, Londoners are putting their own spin on sneaker culture.

Here, you’ll find a mix of tradition and street style, with collectors blending classic British brands like Clarks and Dr. Martens with the latest offerings from sneaker giants like Adidas and Puma.

And let’s not forget about the iconic sneaker markets like Camden Market and Portobello Road, where collectors can score rare finds and vintage gems. In London, sneaker collecting is all about mixing the old with the new and making a statement that’s uniquely British.

Seoul: Kicks and K-pop Rule the Streets

Last but certainly not least, we head to the bustling metropolis of Seoul, South Korea, where sneaker culture is on another level. Here, the intersection of fashion, music, and streetwear collide in spectacular fashion. With K-pop idols setting the style trends and sneaker shops on every corner, Seoul is a sneaker collector’s paradise.

Whether you’re strolling through the trendy neighborhoods of Gangnam or exploring the hidden gems of Hongdae, you’ll find collectors flaunting their latest finds with pride.

And with local brands like Fila and Reebok making a comeback in a big way, Seoulites are proving that when it comes to sneakers, they’re always one step ahead of the curve.

The Bottom Line

From Tokyo to New York City and beyond, sneaker collecting knows no bounds. Whether you’re into high fashion or street style, there’s a sneaker community out there waiting to welcome you with open arms (and fresh kicks).

So lace up those Jordans, tighten those Yeezys, and join the global sneaker revolution. After all, life’s too short to wear boring shoes.

Michael Savage New Canaan Sole Searching: Global Sneaker Trends Unraveled

Globe trotting for the latest sneaker sneaks with Michael Savage from his New Canaan, CT home

In a world where fashion trends come and go faster than you can say “Yeezy Boost,” one subculture has managed to step up its game and leave an indelible footprint on the sneaker scene – sneaker collectors.

From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the hip neighborhoods of Brooklyn, sneakerheads around the world are uniting under the banner of fresh kicks and limited editions.

We’ve spoken before about the influence of pop culture on sneaker collecting. Now, let’s lace up and take a stroll through the global sneaker landscape, where culture, geography, and a healthy dose of obsession collide. Mike Savage New Canaan

Tokyo: Where Every Step is a Fashion Statement

Ah, Tokyo – the neon-lit capital of Japan, where fashion reigns supreme and individuality is celebrated. Here, sneaker collecting isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. From the vibrant chaos of Shibuya to the sleek streets of Ginza, Tokyoites take their sneaker game seriously.

You’ll find collectors scouring the city’s myriad of boutiques and sneaker emporiums for the latest drops from brands like Nike, Adidas, and Supreme.

And let’s not forget the legendary Harajuku district, where avant-garde fashionistas showcase their one-of-a-kind kicks like prized works of art. In Tokyo, every step is a fashion statement, and sneaker collectors are the trendsetters leading the charge.

New York City: Concrete Jungle Where Sneakers Roam Free

If there’s one place that rivals Tokyo’s sneaker obsession, it’s the concrete jungle of New York City. From the basketball courts of Rucker Park to the bustling streets of SoHo, sneakers are as much a part of NYC’s culture as pizza and yellow cabs.

Here, sneaker collectors are a diverse bunch, united by their passion for fresh kicks and street style. You’ll find them lining up outside sneaker boutiques at the crack of dawn, hoping to snag the latest limited edition release.  Savage New Canaan

And with iconic sneaker shops like Flight Club and Stadium Goods calling NYC home, it’s no wonder the city that never sleeps is also the city that never stops sneaker shopping.

New York is also a great place to start collecting if you’re more interested in the financial evolution of sneaker collecting.

London: Where Tradition Meets Street Style

Across the pond in London, sneaker collecting takes on a distinctly British flair. From the trendy neighborhoods of Shoreditch to the posh streets of Mayfair, Londoners are putting their own spin on sneaker culture.

Here, you’ll find a mix of tradition and street style, with collectors blending classic British brands like Clarks and Dr. Martens with the latest offerings from sneaker giants like Adidas and Puma.

And let’s not forget about the iconic sneaker markets like Camden Market and Portobello Road, where collectors can score rare finds and vintage gems. In London, sneaker collecting is all about mixing the old with the new and making a statement that’s uniquely British.

Seoul: Kicks and K-pop Rule the Streets

Last but certainly not least, we head to the bustling metropolis of Seoul, South Korea, where sneaker culture is on another level. Here, the intersection of fashion, music, and streetwear collide in spectacular fashion. With K-pop idols setting the style trends and sneaker shops on every corner, Seoul is a sneaker collector’s paradise.

Whether you’re strolling through the trendy neighborhoods of Gangnam or exploring the hidden gems of Hongdae, you’ll find collectors flaunting their latest finds with pride.

And with local brands like Fila and Reebok making a comeback in a big way, Seoulites are proving that when it comes to sneakers, they’re always one step ahead of the curve.

The Bottom Line

From Tokyo to New York City and beyond, sneaker collecting knows no bounds. Whether you’re into high fashion or street style, there’s a sneaker community out there waiting to welcome you with open arms (and fresh kicks).

So lace up those Jordans, tighten those Yeezys, and join the global sneaker revolution. After all, life’s too short to wear boring shoes.

ABOUT MIKE SAVAGE OF NEW CANAAN, CT

Michael Savage from New Canaan is the Founder of 1-800 Accountant that helps businesses with their accounting services and needs through cutting-edge technology and customer support. He runs the company alongside CEO Brendon Pack.

In his spare time, Savage enjoys creating unique koi ponds, collecting Michael Jordan sneakers, vintage Lego sets, and admiring muscle cars and unique pop art. He and his wife also spearhead the Savage-Rivera foundation to help impoverished families in Honduras.

A 2017 Bennington Alumni Reading List!

As 2017 wraps up, we’re looking towards a new year full of great books! Here’s a year-in-review of some of the new releases of 2017 by or about Bennington alumni.

- Lydia ’19

From Rockaway (re-release) and Swell by Jill Eisenstadt ’85

"With tremendous tenderness, Eisenstadt captures the traumatized Rockaway of the early 2000s in swirling Technicolor....A whimsical portrait of a still-raw community." --Kirkus Reviews

Honeysuckle Drift by Virginia Johnson, MFA ’12

“The scent of honeysuckle that pervades Honeysuckle Drift is sweet in the in the way things are just before they rot. The story that unfolds for the young, well-meaning protagonist, Ellen, will be both a tragedy and a chance to overcome it. In this fine debut novel Virginia Johnson beautifully evokes the place, the era, and the terrible ties between parents and children, ties that, while invisible, can strangle as well as bind.”—Jim Krusoe, author of The Sleep Garden

Botticelli's Muse by Dorah Blume (Deborah Bluestein ’65)

“Blume’s interpretation of master painter Sandro Botticelli is at once a florid love story and a chilling political drama. Sensuous and provocative as well as mysterious, the novel follows Sandro’s troubled relationship with Florence’s ruling Medici family.” --Publisher’s Weekly

Shock Wave by Florian Louisoder ’82

“Shock Wave took me immediately with it's premise because I love time travel related stories...It's a great journey for the imagination to see how one event can alter the future in so many "shocking "ways. Louisoder has an uncanny knack for fleshing out his characters and making them live and breathe on the page. I really look forward to the next in the series.” --Amazon Customer Review

The Other Island: Ben’s Story by Barbara Kent Lawrence ’65

“The Other Island is as much a reflection and refraction of her first novel as it is a sequel. Islands of Time traced the love affair between Becky Granger, a summer visitor to Mount Desert Island, and Ben Bunker, a year-round resident of Little Cranberry Island — from Becky's point of view. In The Other Island, Lawrence gives voice to Ben's side of the romance: "She's told you her story," he states at the novel's start. "Now I'll tell you mine. They are wound up in me like the way I was in her from the moment I met her."” --The Penobscot Bay Pilot

Sally’s Genius by Brooks Clark, a biography about pioneering educator Sally Smith ’50

“In 1967 Sally Smith needed a school for her son Gary, who suffered from dyslexia, among other learning disabilities. Finding none, she founded one, the Lab School of Washington. In the process, she developed the Academic Club Methodology, by which children with learning disabilities can be engaged and inspired in school, where they had previously suffered only frustration and defeat. While directing the Lab School, Smith taught her system and ran the master's program in special education at American University for 32 years, inspiring a new generation of teachers to pioneer innovations in education.  Smith also wrote books, starting with "No Easy Answers" in the late 70s and in various editions thereafter, that serve as the definitive works in the special education field. Smith was driven, creative, unique, and unforgettable.”--Lulu.com

How Do I Explain This to my Kids? by Ava Siegler ’59

“Child psychologist Dr. Ava Siegler brings together stories by authors and writers...about the conversations they are having with their children in the current political climate...as well as how to raise them to be engaged citizens.” --Bill Moyers & Company

Positive Art Therapy Theory and Practice: Integrating Positive Psychology with Art Therapy co-authored by Gioia Chilton ’89

"Wilkinson & Chilton are synonymous with positive art therapy – I am excited about this book and its potential to revolutionize art therapy theory and practice! It’s a wonderful and much needed contribution to the literature, promoting strengths-based and relational approaches to art therapy practice grounded in positive psychology.”-- Donna Betts, PhD, ATR-BC, president, American Art Therapy Association, associate professor, Art Therapy Program, George Washington University

Heart Smart for Women by Jennifer Mieres ’82

“A terrific, potentially life-saving book that’s a must read for all black and Latina women.” --Jane Chesnutt, Editor-in-Chief, Woman’s Day

Thinking with the Dancing Brain by Rima Faber ’65

“a must read book for educators, artists, and scientists. This gem is revolutionary in its structure. Current brain research and valuable educational theories are interspersed in every chapter with simple movement explorations that make the research understandable and the theories memorable. The book proves once and for all that the body and brain work as one unit and that thought cannot take place without movement.” --Anne Green Gilbert, founding Director of Creative Dance Center

Blue Money by Janet Capron ’69

“Capron writes with the fearless, experiential drive of a Beat poet… This intense, electrifying memoir explores a life of prostitution in 1970s New York City.” --Shelf Awareness

Going to Wings by Sandra Worsham ’06

“Sandra Worsham’s humor, clear-eyed honesty stitch this amazing quilt of meaning and experience together in a wonderful way.” --Kirkus Reviews

I’m the One Who Got Away by Andrea Jarrell, MFA ’01

"Though the settings of Jarrell’s stories range from Camden, Maine, to Italy and Los Angeles, the author’s small-town Americana tone is reminiscent of Joyce Carol Oates. The work’s lasting message is that love, like Jarrell’s prose, is both painful and beautiful. A stunning series of recollections with a feminist slant." ―Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

Maya Healers by Fran Antmann ’69

“Fran Antmann’s work in Maya Healers, years in the making, is imbued with the depth and texture only great photography can achieve; where the images transcend being mere documents but reach great art. Many of the images, especially of the people in their daily lives, are transcendent and absolutely gorgeous, revealing an empathy and visual perception that is timeless.” --Ed Kashi, international prize-winning photojournalist

Sign of the Apocalypse: Ruminations and Wit from an American Roadside Prophet by John Getchell ’86

“Friends, neighbors, and passersby from all over the country can’t fail to miss “The Sign’s" constantly changing humor and insight. On occasion, The Sign of the Apocalypse (SOTA) traffics in the earnest, but at its heart is rooted in a deep-seated desire to express the sarcastic and snort-worthy. This, and a love of haiku, pizza, Latin, double entendre, and the worst puns ever crafted.” --Amazon

We and She, You and Then, You Again by Leah Tieger ’03

“Leah Tieger examines the human condition with a stark elegance and passion of language that allows us to inhabit the ragged husks of bodies—of seeds—and gives us hope even in our emptiness. Like a gentle farmer, she removes our desiccated husks and listens as we long for more than blankets, for shelter from the sun. She writes the necessary poems of minutia, of lovers forcing approximate passions, of unraveling sweaters hanging in silent closets. She watches the waiting parts in us and reveals them, allowing the small spaces of our lives to shine through, into insightful—and honest—existence.”-- Josh Gaines

Bloodline by Radha Marcum ’96 

“Congratulations to Radha Marcum. Her debut poetry collection, Bloodline...delves into the difficult family history of the work of Marcum's grandfather on the Manhattan Project, building the first atomic bombs in Los Alamos, New Mexico, during World War II—and how that both brave and heavy legacy has affected the women in her family, both then and now.”  --WinningWriters.com, Subscriber News July 2017

The Myrtlewood Cookbook: Pacific Northwest Home Cooking by Andrew Barton ’09

"This cookbook is unabashedly PNW to its core, from the cutting boards carved from native Myrtlewood trees to the mushrooms that pop up in soup, risotto, and pizza. Unlike most cookbooks, Barton’s recipes read more like an actual book; each dish spans multiple pages with paragraphs in the place of ordered steps. Barton’s conversational tone is certainly homey, as is the food itself." -- Seattle Met

The New Generation Of Vintage Traders You’ll Love

How do you solve a problem like fast fashion? Recycling isn’t as simple as it sounds; ‘Made in Britain’ can still mean poverty wages; cotton is a problematic fave. In all the conversations happening around ethics, sustainability and style just now, it can sometimes feel like questions outweigh answers by 10 to one.

But if there’s a single solution that pretty much everyone can agree on, it’s putting secondhand first. Whether that’s preloved clothes or unloved, dead stock sitting under decades of dust or another go on last year’s Zara, old clothes are the ultimate get-out-of-guilt-free card – and they’ve never looked so fresh.

Perhaps you’re sceptical. Maybe your image of vintage shopping was forged in adolescence, standing in the corner of a kilo sale or sweating into a £500 Ossie Clark while a sales assistant with a micro fringe asks if you need any help with the zip. I was a vintage seller myself for six months in 2009, flogging musty polyester shirtwaisters to bemused tourists in Camden Market for minimum wage, wearing a fascinator I’d made myself by stapling fabric onto a bit of cardboard from a cereal box. It was a dismal time.

But where secondhand clothes used to be a rebellion against the mainstream, now the lines between old, new and ‘alternative’ are much less rigid. Depop has democratised the world of fashion resale, creating its own celebrities and attracting stars like Lily Allen, Emily Ratajkowski and Tess Holliday to flog their designer cast-offs. WAH Nails and Beautystack founder Sharmadean Reid currently has preloved Levi’s, Alexander Wang heels and Skepta x Nike Air Max up for sale on her page, with prices as low as £18.

Meanwhile on Instagram, there’s a growing breed of digitally enabled, user-friendly traders with their fingers firmly on the fashion pulse. Forget the old stereotypes of twee women in rockabilly petticoats and sneering hipsters in ’80s shell suits. Vintage sellers have evolved, just like their stock.

“There seems to be a preconception that vintage equals victory rolls and big, full, floral dresses with tiny waists and bows and frills. I’ve got a lot of time for that kind of traditional approach to vintage, but it’s not for everyone,” says Sarah Brand, who launched her vintage dress collection, Another Matinee last month in a flurry of sumptuous, candy-coloured Instagram posts. “I’ve really tried to show people how easy and modern wearing vintage can be. You can wear a prairie dress to the pub with your favourite trainers. But when you have a big party or wedding, it looks equally good with your hair in a bun and a slick of lipstick.”

While buying your vintage via your phone might feel like cheating – the antithesis of the slow, patient, hands-on process that secondhand shoppers rhapsodise about – it has obvious advantages. No trawling overstuffed rails, no rifling through bargain bins. No fishing other people’s old tissues out of the pockets. Someone else has done the donkey work for you, and with an expert eye.

“The stereotypical idea of a vintage store is of an ‘Aladdin’s cave’ which requires a degree of rummaging, and can perhaps be a little overwhelming,” says Dulcie Emerson of Human Sea Vintage. “I try to overcome this preconception by offering an edited selection.” With the tagline ‘vintage you want to wear now’, Human Sea is unapologetically on trend – slip dresses, woven disco mules, ’70s crochet and Y2K tailoring all look completely at home alongside whatever pseudo-French chic & Other Stories is pushing into your feed this week. “Every item is selected for its quality, condition and potential to fit seamlessly into a modern wardrobe,” says Emerson.

It’s a similar story over at the chic Retold Vintage, launched by Clare Lewis in spring 2018. “I’m a minimalist at heart,” she admits. “I lean towards a high-low style, so customers can expect tailoring as well as gorgeous blouses that you can throw on with your favourite jeans. I love nothing better than a co-ord and I’m continuously inspired by the ’90s, which filters through to my styling aesthetic and unashamedly tonal colour palette.”

A post shared by Retold. (@retold_vintage) on Aug 22, 2019 at 11:44am PDT

In harmonious beige and cream tones, with a pop of chestnut leather here, a twist of russet tweed there, Retold’s latest drop is a far cry from the clashing floral headache of your average vintage warehouse. Each item is a pristine classic. “I’m not a mass seller,” says Lewis. “I create small, curated collections.”

While big names like Beyond Retro thrive on sheer volume, the new wave of vintagrammers (as I’m calling them) are leaning in to this kind of nouveau-minimalism, with buzzwords like ‘handpicked’, ‘considered’, ‘an edit’. And if we’re to escape the mental overload of fast fashion, with its avalanche of choice and 52 new seasons a year, it makes sense. There’s something calming about browsing a site with only a handful of items on sale and nobody but destiny to cajole you into buying them. You can’t ask for another colour or size, or click ’email me when back in stock’. It simply says: ‘Do you want this? No? Cool.’

Of course, not being able to ask for another size can be a problem – especially in vintage, where plus-size garms get scarcer the further back in time you go. “It’s definitely a challenge to cater for sizes over a UK 10,” admits Brand. “A lot of the vintage you come across is tiny, which is telling of the social norms and beauty standards of those times.” But she puts the work in, to ensure that Another Matinee has more to offer. “I want to celebrate vintage style but reimagine how I present it, to reflect today’s changing attitudes towards women and our bodies and what is ‘beautiful’ in 2019.”

Another trader determined to improve vintage’s accessibility is Holly Watkins, owner of One Scoop Store. Having sold secondhand clothes via eBay for 15 years, she launched the business initially via Instagram in 2017. Her stock is an accessible mix of high street, designer and genuine vintage (technically, clothes which are 20 years or older), with price points from £10 to £300. “I always wanted to make sure I could offer pieces at really affordable prices that would suit all budgets,” she says. “I think One Scoop Store is one of the few offering decent high street secondhand, which is helping reduce landfill and appeal to a wider audience if true ‘vintage’ isn’t your thing, or luxury designer isn’t in your budget.”

Watkins tells me her biggest challenge is dealing with our ‘Supermarket Sweep’ mentality. “I do feel that the fast fashion world has created a monster in terms of the psychology of shopping. Many people expect free returns and order lots of pieces with very little intention of keeping any of them.” Addressing that commitment-phobia might take a while, but the vintagrammers are here to nudge us towards a slower pace of shopping. Why, you might ask, do they bother keeping items online after they’re gone? Why taunt us?

Inspiration, is why. What our mums and grans used to call ‘window shopping’, back in the days when it was more common to return from a shopping trip empty-handed than not. Turning the tide on unsustainable consumption is as much about changing attitudes as it is finding ‘better’ places to shop, so perhaps scrolling through grids of long-gone vintage could be a healthy outlet; a way to discover new styling tricks, fall in love with new eras, and remember it’s possible to admire stuff without necessarily needing to possess it.

When the stars align and we do find that absolute gem in our size, we’re more likely to foster an emotional connection; wear it more, treat it better and love it, even after the trend dies or the novelty wears off. “Most importantly, Instagram has allowed me to create a dialogue with my customers,” says Retold’s Clare. Happy customers tag their traders, traders share their looks, and the story continues.

Still, she doesn’t see social media as a replacement for traditional vintage shopping. “By selling online, I do think you will never be able to completely replicate that experience you get in a bricks-and-mortar store. I really hope that our high street catches up and we begin to see more vintage and secondhand stores, not just charity shops, have an increased presence.”

Personally I’d be sad to lose the ramshackle old-school thrift stores entirely. All it takes is a welcoming attitude and a high/low fashion eye to bring them bang up to date. Like Somewhere in Hackney, a ram-jam attic space where owner Melanie Otesanya‎ has a knack for sourcing vintage and preloved versions of the exact Ganni/Rixo/Sleeper number that’s been haunting your dreams. Or fash pack favourite Laura Von Behr, who hosts private dress-up appointments in her chic London studio. There are ’70s prairie dresses, ’80s party frocks, ’30s slips and ’60s minis on the rail, and Von Behr’s friendly, bespoke approach couldn’t be further from the fusty stereotypes.

“My customers are often very new to vintage shopping, so I make sure that my dresses are in good condition, clean and wearable,” she says. “I find it a challenge competing with fashion brands and work hard to buy pieces that reflect trends, to try and tempt people towards vintage.”

Let’s not forget, pretty much all trends are recycled from the annals of history anyway. So what if, instead of buying the fast fashion reproductions, we skipped the whole mad merry-go-round and went straight to the source? With a digital stylist helping us sift out the gold.

“I think it’s just about finding your groove,” says Brand. “Dressing in vintage doesn’t mean changing your style – if anything, it’s helped me hone mine. I know exactly what I like now.”

If vintagrammer’s feeds are anything to go by, they know exactly what we’ll like, too.
