What’s an “ugly sneaker”?
The fashionist consider “ugly shoes” all those shoes that feature extra chunky soles, abnormally structured silhouettes, and curvy lines in bright hues or neon colors.
They have quite a chunky silhouette, nothing like the streamlined elegance of the latest sport shoe trends, of simple lines and monocolor, with elegant styles some are used to wear.

Ugly sneakers for him
These sneakers take their inspiration from the world of specialist outdoor clothing. Gentlemens can make something so unglamorous look so good. We recommend sticking with the luxury sportswear theme and adding a pair of sweatpants and a jacket.
Or use colour scheme; pairing them with grey Prince of Wales checked trousers, adding a bit of visual interest above the waist with a colour-block raincoat.
