Father Knows Best

Remember those ratty, embarrassing chunky sneakers your dad always wore? They've made a fashionable comeback around the world

If you think "dad shoes" (aka chunky sneakers) are woefully outdated and most suited to your father's stinky feet, you're way off the mark. Actually, dad shoes are a shining star in the fashion industry right now.

Among them, there's no doubt that Balenciaga's Triple S series has caused a huge sensation since its debut. It's called Triple S because the sole combines three elements: a basketball, running and training shoe. At nearly eight centimeters, its sensation of walking on the clouds, combined with the special brand stitching, drives its ongoing popularity.
