Sports training has long been very popular because it has a positive effect not only on the appearance of a person, but also on the health of the body as a whole.
And, it is completely reasonable to assume that for sports you may need shoes of the appropriate plan - most often these are comfortable sneakers with soft shock-absorbing soles.
Sneakers have become so popular that no man can imagine his life without them. And if earlier, in the old days, their use was limited by weather conditions, then in the modern world fashion this problem does not exist, since for several seasons models of winter sneakers have been relevant, allowing you to maintain athletic fitness even in the cold season.
What are sneakers?
Sneakers are one of the varieties of sports shoes with a dense, springy sole, which is a distinctive feature and lacing, which is inherent in other sports shoe models.
The initial look of the sneakers was completely uncomfortable and not practical in everyday use. Sneakers were not divided into right and left, which greatly complicated walking, as did the rubber sole, which was unusually solid.
A little later, the founder of the brand Adidas first wondered the manufacture of sports shoes for jogging and training. So the light appeared comfortable sneakers with separation and purpose for each leg.
And after a certain period of time, other well-known brands also started producing sneakers, including Nike, which will be discussed in the future.
Brand history
Before you start talking about Nike winter sneakers, you should briefly familiarize yourself with the brand’s history, which is full of not only interesting and entertaining facts, but also very informative and useful.
The company began its existence in January 1960 and almost immediately gained unprecedented popularity. The founders of the company are such large figures of the sports business as Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman, and the president of the company is Mark Parker.
The main office of the corporation is located in the United States of America, but the clothes and shoes of this brand are sold in large quantities around the world, which is not surprising, because the company offers quality products at an affordable price.
Among the many products provided by this brand, there are both sports equipment, clothes and shoes. And an indisputable advantage is that Nike sneakers are presented not only in summer, but also in winter, warmer models.
Features and Benefits
Winter sneakers, like any other shoes, have a lot of advantages and characteristics, these are the most significant of them:
- Winter sneakers are suitable for outdoor sports, even in extreme cold.
- The shoe block is comfortable, like regular sneakers, so the foot will always be comfortable.
- The load on the foot in the sneakers is evenly distributed, which will avoid joint problems in the future.
Stylish models 2020
Among the models of Nike winter sneakers, there are many unusually stylish and functional models that have certain characteristic features. Each of the models has certain advantages, which makes it the most relevant for a given circle of people.
Sneakers with natural fur are common, since they are the most functional. Natural fur perfectly protects legs even in the most severe frosts, which is why this particular model of sneakers is most common in countries with a cold, northern climate.
Quite interesting sneakers with slightly inflated sides are called Nike Air Max and Air Force. One of the models is equipped with an insulating lining made of natural wool material, and the other has a dense fur layer.
Winter Nike Roshe Run sneakers are made of dense material of velor texture, equipped with natural fur and a blown rubber sole, which helps to avoid slipping and ensure stability even with the most severe icy conditions.
There are many comfortable running shoes for jogging in the cold season. These sneakers are equipped with a special sole that will protect against unwanted slipping and falling on ice.
There are also children's models.
But every activist and athlete knows that short winter sneakers are not always practical, because snow can get in, which will cause corresponding discomfort.
Models of high sneakers will not only provide warmth in the legs, but also give the image a certain novelty.
Another functional “trick” is the use of thermal socks in combination with the warmest models of sneakers. Sometimes, in the most severe cold, it is not possible to protect your feet from the cold with only one shoe, and a thermosock will perfectly help in this matter.
Material
There are not so many materials from which winter models of sneakers are made, since not every one of them is able to withstand persistent frosts, without having subjected the foot to cold tests and without losing its attractive appearance.
The most common leather sneakers for winter, since genuine leather is a fairly functional material. It does not leak moisture, is resistant to severe frosts and temperature extremes, and in combination with natural fur has high thermal functions.
Suede sneakers are also a success, but are slightly less functional.The fact is that suede, although it is a fairly strong and wear-resistant material, nevertheless passes moisture, which will lead to wet shoes if the snow begins to melt in the room.
There is another option - sneakers made of soft material that resembles something in between leather and velor. The product, although it looks beautiful, is still not successful, because it is too easily soiled and not practical.
Color
For winter, many prefer calm and restrained colors, not screaming and not striking. All because looking at the snow-white boundless expanses, I want to look also light and fresh and correspond to the surrounding world.
That is why the trend is sophisticated white, elegant black and brown, as well as natural shades like beige, cream and cream colors.
How to choose?
Choosing a quality product is always a difficult task, because nowadays we often have to deal with low-quality fakes, which can not only be useless, but can also be harmful due to the use of synthetic allergic materials.
- First of all, it’s worth buying sneakers in the manufacturer’s store in order to avoid fakes. As a rule, such multimillion-dollar corporations vouch for their goods and do not allow the sale of products even with the smallest marriage.
- It is worth carefully choosing the size and making sure that the foot is comfortable in the sneaker. If necessary, you can purchase shoes a size larger to combine it with thick woolen socks.
- In order to foresee all the possible problems that may arise with such sneakers, you should carefully consider in advance what material you want to buy sneakers from, while studying the advantages and disadvantages of all options.
How much are?
The pricing policy of the Nike brand is rather gentle and the price is rarely too high, most often it is justified by the high quality of the shoes. The cost of one pair varies in the area of 5,000 - 10,000 rubles, which is quite affordable for everyone.
What to wear?
Since winter sneakers are ideal for the cold season, it is necessary to combine them with warm clothes suitable for going out. Other combinations will simply not be relevant, since warm shoes do not fit into warm weather conditions, as too much overheating of the legs.
It is reasonable to assume that sports-style shoes will look great with the same clothes, that is, wearing a ski suit, a sports-style down jacket or a simple puffed jacket with jeans, you will not be mistaken, and you will look appropriate, and with the right selection of image elements stylishly.
Winter sneakers will look great with warm sweatpants, leggings and skinny jeans. You should not combine trousers with a classic cut with such shoes, since these two products are extremely unsuccessfully combined with each other.
In some cases, you can pick up a shortened fur coat or a sheepskin coat of a sports type for winter sneakers, something like the “aviator” model. So the image will not only be harmonious, but also very stylish.
Reviews
As for consumer reviews, of course, there are not only positive and laudatory, but also negative ones (it is worth noting that they are much smaller).
After analyzing some consumer reviews, we can draw the main conclusion that most of all, the high quality of products, the wear resistance of natural materials and a reasonable price are noted.
Also, among satisfied customers there are many who note an elegant and sophisticated design, despite the fact that it comes to sports shoes - sneakers.
In addition, many are satisfied that the winter model of the sneakers has a comfortable shoe and is incredibly warm, which is especially appreciated by supporters of active winter recreation.
