It’s easy to get lost in the world of hype sneakers and exclusivity battles. However, sometimes all a sneakerhead wants is a pair of reliable and good-looking shoes to wear. And although it’s always tempting to flex the same popular brand and stay loyal to it, there’s more to the industry than that. So let’s take a look at some underrated sneaker brands that deserve some recognition in 2023 for many reasons! But of course, if you’re a die-hard fan, you can check our blog for the news that interest you.
Starting on top of our list is the French brand Veja. It launched in 2004 with Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion at the helm. The brand is all about making a change in the social conditions of workers at production factories. In addition to the social impact it aims for, it’s also concerned with environmental issues. Veja takes pride in its materials: organic cotton, vegan leather, and recycled plastic bottles!
And you’d think that with all that, their kicks would be too expensive, but they’re actually not! You could say that the Veja sneakers’ prices fall within the range of your favorite Nike or Adidas kicks. So if you’re looking for vegan alternatives to your kicks, this is your queue! In fact, Veja sneakers seem to be popular among the royals for their comfort, looks, and sustainability.
But in addition to the brand’s rich history, Mizuno is also environmentally and socially aware of its impact. So, if you’re looking for sustainable environment-friendly kicks, you got it! In fact, the brand is working on reaching a neutral carbon footprint by the year 2050.
If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the shoes Uma Thurman wore in Kill Bill when she was kicking a$$. This movie moment turned the kicks into a pop culture icon, and we have Onitsuka (Asics) brand to thank! Anyway, today the brand is much more than this silhouette, and you can read all about it here.
It’s okay to still want your classic Nike or Jordan kicks even if you love to support underrated sneaker brands. But you gotta keep in mind that getting popular kicks requires a bit more work than just checking out. You’ll need a sneaker bot that can help you cop the popular kicks you want! A sneaker bot can boost your chances of scoring the pair you want multiple times on the same site.
