From neon and tie-dye to fanny packs, 90s nostalgia is in full swing once again in the world of fashion and a limited-edition K-Swiss x Clueless collaboration is giving Millennials even more to fondly look back on. K-Swiss is introducing two new sneaker styles that pay homage to Cher Horowitz’s iconic brightly colored tartan outfit.
While one of the K-Swiss x Clueless styles is a white sneaker with a subtle touch of plaid at the back, the other style adopts an all-over yellow plaid pattern. Both of these 90s-inspired sneakers have writing on the bottom that reference the film with sayings like "Ugh! As if!"
To introduce its newest sneaker styles, K-Swiss created a lookbook in a school setting and opted for models that will remind fans of Cher and her best friend Dionne.
