Probably, as a mother, you feel like you are guessing with your teenager's changing tastes. What they loved yesterday no longer interests them today. What you thought they liked turns out they don’t anymore. And what is fashionable among young people changes faster than the weather.
But don’t worry, that’s why we have created this guide specially designed for parents: a selection of sneakers that will hit the mark without a struggle. Because yes, there are options that never fail.
Why sneakers are the perfect gift
When they are little, giving them something is a piece of cake: remote-controlled cars, dolls, books… their tastes are easy to figure out. But when they reach adolescence, everything changes. They begin to care about how they look, what others think, and about building their identity. And, as you probably did at their age, they start using clothes as a way to express themselves.
You might recognize brands like Stüssy, Jordan, Fake Gods, or Yuxus… or maybe not. And that’s fine. Because beyond fleeting trends, there are sneaker models that always succeed, classics that never go out of style. Surely if you look back at your own adolescence, some names will sound familiar. Because in fashion, as in life, everything comes back around.
What to consider before choosing
Before rushing to buy, there are several important factors you should keep in mind. It’s not all about looks or following the latest minimalist trend: comfort also matters. Remember that they will wear them for hours, whether walking, going to concerts, outing with friends, or spending the day away from home.
So take note: here are the models that combine style, comfort, and that cool touch any teenager will love.
