We all know that fashion is cyclical. In recent years, wide-leg jeans, cropped t-shirts for both boys and girls, baby tees, double denim looks… and much more have made a comeback. Ultimately, nothing in fashion ever truly disappears; it just waits for its moment to return.
And sneakers are no exception. That's why today we're taking a look at some of the 90s sneakers that have made a strong comeback and that you can find at Newcop.
Why are 90s sneakers back?
It's very simple: what works, comes back. Runways revive trends, fabrics, and silhouettes from the past that gradually migrate to streetwear and eventually conquer the streets. The same thing happens in the sneaker world.
Added to this is the nostalgia factor, collaborations with iconic athletes, and reinterpretations of models that were once successful, whether for their design, their quality, or both. The result is sneakers with history, but adapted to current style.
