* These shoes all feature pre-distressed materials for a stylish and unique look
* Designs include suede and leather exteriors
* All of these pairs are made to be super comfortable
Not too long ago, the fashion world was all about “broken in” jeans. The pre-distressed look in denim offered a style for both men and women that was hard to achieve without years of regular wear. And so this vintage-esque style became (and has remained) popular today. It only seems logical that over time this broken-in style would naturally progress to other items of clothing. And for that reason, the fashion industry has now started to produce pre-distressed shoes.
These sneakers all sport either suede or leather exteriors boasting signs of age right out of the box. But these shoes don’t sacrifice any of the comfort that you sometimes lose in older shoes. Wearing any of them will feel just like slipping on any other pair of brand new shoes. Whether you’re searching for a pair of shoes for casual use or a night out, these new old sneakers are just the ticket.
