FROM WORK TO PLAY

Sneakers That Go The Distance

By: Marlowe Overocker

You’ve got plans? We’ve got shoes.

From the workweek to the weekend, sneakers are the most worn item I own. Versatile, reliable, functional, and fashionable, sneakers seamlessly transition from one occasion to the next. From their humble origin as “sandshoes” in the 1830s to the canvas and rubber design of the 1870s made for lawn tennis, sneakers have come a long way becoming the version we know and love today.

In so many shapes and sizes, each adorned with head-turning logo details, they continue shaping culture with their timeless appeal. As the ultimate merger of sports and fashion, sneakers make a statement, and there really is a perfect pair for each person and every activity.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

From rigorous hikes to your daily strolls in the park, these pairs offer all-day comfort, support, and style. We know you’re loyal to your favorite shoe brands, so we’ve got variety to ensure you find the perfect fit for each adventure. A trailblazing-approach shoe. A retro pair for your daily steps. An ultra-cushy pair for long days on your feet. And last but not least, a dynamic pair for your marathon training—or just for the love of movement.

EVERYDAY ERRANDS

Here at FP, fun sneakers are our thing. Perfect for styling with trousers, jeans, and everything in between, these sneakers add instant swag to your workdays. Lunch break errands? Hockey game after work? (Go Stars...I mean, Flyers!) Happy hour plans? You're set to bounce.

WEEKEND FESTIVITIES

Throwing on a fresh pair of sneakers after a long week is the perfect dopamine boost. Perfect for concerts, sports games, fairs, and wherever your day takes you, these sporty sneaks are your go-to whether you're on the move or taking it easy.
Once sandshoes, now iconic streetwear, sneakers have come a long way. Whether you're chasing adventure, tackling the everyday, or making a statement, they’re always up for the ride. And my favorite part about sneakers is how easy it is to add more personal style to them. Yes, I am saying to accessorize your accessories. Wear femme, ruffled socks with your court sneakers, add playful charms to your laces, layer an anklet over your crew socks. Have fun with it!

You deserve it,
XOXO FP
