snook

"Black plimsolls", the traditional gym shoes worn by English schoolchildren, have been around for some years, and now there’s the Snook, an updated version designed by Alicia Armet and Ciara Riley. Surrounded by talented designers who knew how to create a simple graphic design and with a website devoted to the brand, they have created a new must-have for the playground, perfect for those who love comfort but also want a smart look. The name ‘snook’ comes from the expression ‘cock a snook’, meaning to thumb your nose at someone. But in fact Snook deserves a thumbs up sign for reworking and re-creating a new shoe that the coolest, most fashionable schoolchildren will absolutely love! These black fabric shoes with elastic or Velcro are set to become a future classic and each season, a new model will be launched.
