Based on a sense of fashion and style, traditional chunky sneakers or we called "dad shoes" have been enhanced with worn-out effects, enlarged silhouettes, and multi-layered soles, creating a striking visual contrast when worn, making them a favorite among those pursuing individuality.

As is well known, "dad shoes" originally referred to styles of tourist and athletic shoes that became popular in the 1990s. Due to their inherent clunky attributes and their frequent appearance in dad's shoe closets, they gradually became known as "Dad Shoes" or "Chunky Sneakers."

Chunky sneakers have been embraced by young consumers for their attributes like thickened soles for height, contouring leg shapes, and contrasting designs. They have consistently appeared on popular item lists of fashion websites in recent years.

From luxury brands to sportswear and streetwear brands, there continues to be a continuous stream of popular chunky sneakers releases. The vintage style remains a core theme in the shoe industry and has proven to be consistently successful. It's foreseeable that there will be more new products following the same design patterns in the future.
