Does anyone remember the 1996 Nike Air Griffey Max 1 or the 1997 Adidas KB8 sneakers that every cool (and rich) kid on the block had on their feet? And how much you wished you had a pair? Well, you are in for a treat – all thanks to Skechers.
Skechers’ newest release – the Skechers D’Lites 2 – is the best of both worlds. From the wavy lines of the sides (like the Nike Air Griffey Max 1) to the ‘old-skool’ Velcro, similar to the Adidas KB8) everything about these new sneakers screams ‘90s throwback’.
You get the old and the new; the ugly and the chic – all in one sneaker. Catching on fast with the ugly-chic shoe trend that is taking over the runways at this year’s fashion weeks, these new kicks have already reached a new cult status when they were spotted on several of our favourite fashionistas like Nicole Wong and fashion designer and founder of Singapore fashion brand YESAH, Linda Hao.
Take it from a true sneakerhead: These retro-style sneakers are definitely a new must-have classic.

Fun fact: Did you know that the base of the sneakers is made out of Skechers’ Air Cooled Memory Foam? In other words, the cushioned insoles will ensure your maximum comfort.

Fun fact: The ambassadors for the D’Lites 2 aren’t your average cookie-cutter pop stars. EXO is one of the most popular South Korean boybands (even bigger than One Direction – I kid you not), which means that these sneakers automatically have their seal of approval.

There’s just something about the design of the Skechers D’Lites that I find so hard to resist. Perhaps it is the woven details, or the wavy lines of the sides, or the ‘old-skool’ Velcro that reminds me so much of the 90s.

Other than looking super rad, these kicks can also give you a boost in height (credits to the built-in 1¼ inch heel) while still keeping you super comfy due to its lightweight shock absorbing midsole. So if you’re a dancer (or you just like to bust out some moves every now and then), these sneakers will be your new BFF.
