The Difference Between A Shoe & Sneaker
A shoe is a sneaker, right? Not quite. Those in the fashion industry have a clear distinction between these two terms and it’s understanding this difference that one can comprehend where the substantial price discrepancy between a cheap and expensive sneaker comes from.
Think dropping $1,000 on something like a pair of Balenciaga sneakers versus a pair of $100 Converse All-Stars or similar cheaper sneakers
Shoe:
- Traditional shoes such as high quality oxfords or leather lace-ups that are made in small scale shoe factories or boutiques
- Basic machinery used
- Shoe construction techniques involve hand stitching and turning
- Absence of performance materials
Sneaker:
- Performance type shoes, usually mass produced
- Advanced machinery used in construction process
- Limited use of expensive materials like leather
- Extensive use of advanced synthetic materials
“Balenciaga isn’t a sneaker brand,” explains Chris Kyvetos.
“It’s not a performance brand. It doesn’t make athletes run faster, jump higher and perform better – that’s functional footwear for athletic purposes.”
As such, Balenciaga who can charge up to $1,000 for their shoes don’t use sneaker factories to make them. They use shoe making factories to make their shoes.
Manufacturing process and location is the biggest factor that plays into a sneaker (or shoe’s) final price tag.
Making an expensive luxury shoe like the popular Italian-labelled Balenciaga Triple S involves cold cementing leather uppers onto rubber sole units.
“This in itself is a shoe making technique, not a sneaker making technique,” says Kyvetos.
Common Projects ($500 – $600) which are basic white leather sneakers made in Italy also follow this same production philosophy.
“There is no such thing as a sneaker made in Italy. Italians don’t make sneakers, they make shoes.”
Expensive Sneaker Construction Utilises:
- Use of expensive high grade leathers – pebble leather which doesn’t crack as much over time
- Thicker leather – this ensures the shoe retains its shape and looks newer for longer
- Tumbled leather – some mid-range shoe brands use this to achieve a balance between quality and affordability
