They’re comfy, versatile and go with every outfit. There’s no doubt sneakers have been the most classic and wearable fashion trend for decades.
As sneaker culture grows in Bangkok, Siam Square fashionistas have been spotted wearing these fashion-forward designs. Some of these shoes are quite hard to get, and having them in your closet must mean you’re something of a sneakerhead.
Coconuts wandered around Siam Square last week to capture what the cool people are wearing at the moment. It turns out that sneakers are not as straightforward as we thought.
