The Origins: When Sport Meets Fashion

Honestly, if we told you that women's sneakers have only existed for less than 50 years, would you believe us? It's true, though. Before the 1970s, women either wore dress shoes or basic white tennis shoes for sports. The thing is, at that time, sportswear and footwear were practically nonexistent for women.

The story really began when visionaries like Bill Bowerman , co-founder of Nike, prioritized the needs of athletes. This constant focus on performance revolutionized the game. Bowerman, this coach obsessed with improving his athletes' performance, literally invented shoes in his kitchen. Can you imagine? He was making waffles with his wife Barbara and thought, "Hey, what if I used this waffle iron to create a revolutionary sole?"

This is how models like the Nike Blazer came about in the early 70s. The shoe takes its name from Nike's local professional basketball team, and it marked the beginning of a new era for women in sports.

The Evolution: From Performance to Lifestyle

The 80s and 90s were a crazy time for women's sneakers . That's when everything changed. Brands started to understand that women didn't just want scaled-down versions of men's models. They wanted their own designs, their own colors, their own identity.

Adidas had a huge hit with models like the Gazelle and the Samba, which are still absolute icons today. In fact, we have an amazing selection in our Adidas Gazelle and Adidas Samba collections, featuring exclusive colorways that are hard to find anywhere else.

Nike, for its part, revolutionized the game with the Air Jordan and later the Dunk. In the early 2000s, Nike collaborated with various retailers and reimagined the Dunk with the SB Dunk Low Pro, without altering the original Dunk design. This approach created a true culture around women's sneakers. Our Nike Dunk collection gives you access to these highly sought-after models.

Memorable Collaborations: When Creativity Explodes

Collaborations have completely changed the game in the world of women's sneakers. We're talking about partnerships between brands and designers, artists, or even celebrities who have created unique pieces.

Puma has done some amazing things with the Speedcat , this racing-inspired silhouette that's been revisited in tons of crazy colors. Here, you can snag the Puma Speedcat Leopard Black Warm White or the Puma Speedcat Zebra – models you won't find anywhere else.

Adidas has also released some amazing collaborations. Take the Adidas Samba OG Cow Print Dark Brown White or the Adidas Superstar II Rhinestone Black Silver – these are the kinds of pieces you'll want to keep in your rotation.

These collaborations created a true culture of collecting . Women began to see their sneakers as works of art, not just sports shoes.

The Art of Colorway

The great thing about women's sneakers is the diversity of colorways . Brands have realized they can play with the established codes and offer unexpected colors. Look at our selection: we have the Adidas Handball Spezial Lucid Pink White or the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Bliss Lilac Black . These colors tell a story; they have personality.

Cultural Impact: More Than a Shoe

Women's sneakers have completely revolutionized the way women dress. They've broken the rules, making it possible to mix sport and elegance. You can wear Air Jordans with a dress, New Balance with a suit. That's the revolution.

From icons like the girls in 90s hip-hop groups to today's influencers, sneakers have become a means of expression. Each pair tells a story, reflects a personality.

The perfect example is Nike with its signature models. Designers like Cynthia, the daughter of Mexican immigrants who grew up in Hawaiian Gardens, California, before moving to New York to pursue her career, have inspired groundbreaking designs. Their personal stories are reflected in every detail of the shoes they helped create.

The Evolution of Materials

On a technical level, the evolution has been incredible. Diane Katz, for example, drew inspiration from durable skiwear to develop new, more sustainable materials. This constant innovation has allowed women's sneakers to become more high-performing while maintaining their unique style.

Today: Diversity in Power

In 2024, the women's sneaker scene has never been more vibrant. Brands are offering entire dedicated collections, with fits specifically designed for women. No more buying a men's size and hoping it will work.
