If you're looking to buy high-quality sneakers online or try them on in our Berlin store, Stickabush offers a curated selection that goes beyond the mainstream. But which shoe suits your style?
The history of sneakers: From the sports field to the street
Originally developed as purely performance tools, sneakers have revolutionized the fashion world. Especially the trend towards retro sneakers shows how timeless designs can be. Brands like Nike Sportswear and adidas Originals shaped the market with iconic designs that are now indispensable in every wardrobe. While Nike scores points with innovative Air cushioning, adidas stands for the legacy of classic court silhouettes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between retro sneakers and modern performance shoes?
Answer: Retro sneakers are based on original designs from the 70s, 80s, or 90s. They often use lifestyle materials like suede. Modern performance shoes, on the other hand, are optimized for specific sports (e.g., running) with the latest technology.
What is the best way to care for suede sneakers?
Answer: Suede is sensitive to moisture. We recommend waterproofing the shoes before wearing them for the first time. Dirt should only be removed dry with a special nubuck brush.
Which sneaker brand offers the best cushioning for everyday use?
Answer: That's subjective, however, New Balance with ENCAP technology and Karhu with the Fulcrum sole are particularly comfortable for urban areas.
