As a mother, you probably feel like you're going in the dark with your teenager's changing tastes. What they loved yesterday no longer interests them. What you thought they liked turns out not to be. And what's trendy among young people changes faster than the weather.
But don't worry, that's why we've created this guide especially for parents: a selection of sneakers that will help you get it right without dying in the attempt. Because yes, there are options that never fail.
Why sneakers are the perfect gift
When they're little, giving them something is a piece of cake: remote-controlled cars, dolls, books... their tastes are easy to decipher. But when they reach adolescence, everything changes. They begin to worry about how they look, what others think, and building their identity . And, just as you probably did at the time, they begin to use clothing as a way of expressing themselves.
Maybe you've heard of brands like Stüssy, Jordan, Fake Gods, or Yuxus... or maybe not. And that's okay. Because beyond passing trends, there are sneaker models that always triumph, classics that never go out of style. Surely if you take a look back at your teenage years, some names will ring a bell. Because in fashion, as in life, everything comes back.
