A bipartisan 'Sneakers Caucus' on Capitol Hill is aiming to bridge the political and generational divide through comfortable and fashionable footwear.
In offices across the country, the sneakers-with-a-suit look is becoming increasingly common. Now, even the hallowed halls of U.S. Congress are embracing the trend.
The push for sneaker fashion gained momentum in May when Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wore"dress sneakers" to a meeting with President Biden in the Oval Office, breaking the longstanding tradition of oxfords and loafers. The trend reflects a broader cultural shift, as athletic shoe imports soared 29% last year, with nearly two pairs for every American.
"I think there are some people for whom it is just purely a matter of 'Hey, these shoes are comfortable and I just want something nice on my feet," Givhan said.
