The last few years have seen the limelight of running shoes in men’s clothing. And it’s not difficult to understand why: with the dominant instinct of comfort and their performance, these shoes have become an excellent alternative to more “formal” footwear such as Oxford or Derbie.
But putting together a strong casual look that exploits the potential of these shoes requires an extra effort, aiming a selection of basic items you can build your outfit with – so you do not miss it.
The new style of running shoes

For running shoes, the concept is the same. Alongside the typical technical materials, running shoes undergone a change in terms of style to avoid the idea that you are constantly in a gym!
