But, what about the here and now? Where
is the sneaker train going next? We took the
liberty of looking outside of the exhibit to
find the answer and ended up in the office!
Sneakers have made their way into the
workplace and not just at trendy Silicon Valley
companies like Facebook or Twitter. JPMorgan
Chase, one of the largest commercial banks
on Wall Street, (think tailored suits and dress
shoes) actually released a memo allowing
their employees to wear jeans and sneakers
to work! Now it’s not to say that investment
bankers are rolling up to meetings in sneaks
but this is a mammoth leap for the prim and
proper, spit-shined shoes of Wall Street.
So it seems the corporate world is embracing
the “sneaker culture” which has long been
associated with street wear and sports.
