The current demand for chunky sneakers and 90s styles makes the perfect time for Skechers to reintroduce its classic Skechers Roadies as part of the Skechers Heritage collection. These sneakers from the 1990s are being touted by the brand as the "original fashion sneakers" with a style that's uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between grunge and pop styles.
The Skechers Roadies boast a design that draws from the brand's first style, a Skechers Sport Utility logger boot. The chunky sneakers are set to be just as popular today as they were when they were first launched in 1994, when they originally introduced consumers to a never-before-seen style.
With the Skechers Heritage collection, the brand is also reintroducing other styles like the Skechers Cleats Retro and Skechers Heartbeats.
