The trend was something you would see at most if not all the runway shows last season.

But what made it even bigger and trendier was that lots of girls were wearing the look during fashion weeks. Then the same ugly sneaker, dad shoe and dad sneaker started popping up all over instagram and youtube and other social media platforms.

Brands like Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton have helped create this trend and also have been instrumental in this trend being very popular. So it might be here for a little while longer.
