Dad Sneaker Lookbooks

Umbro's 'Bumpy' Silhouette is a Popular Drop in South Korea

— March 15, 2018 — Fashion
The retro dad sneaker is commemorated in a contemporary silhouette by English sportswear label Umbro. The Bumpy features a chunky sole that is available in all-black or all-white with subtle hits of color on the heels and the sides. The Bumpy also sports a leather upper with strategic mesh paneling.

Umbro styles its new model with high-waisted denim, bold fabric belts, tracksuits and branded white T-shirts. The overall look reminds millennials of their dads in the 90s and perhaps the nostalgic factor of the dad sneaker, styled with the excessively retro outfit, is contained within childhood memories.

The Bumpy dad sneaker dropped exclusively in South Korea on March 9th. Its timeless design, chunky exterior and accessible colorway caused it to sell out in just three days.
