People have fallen for these Supreme tees doing the rounds for April fools. Obviously nothing to actually do with Supreme.
Was reading the other day how often women suffer injuries or experience undue discomfort in sports or during their hobbies because equipment and clothing is mostly designed for men and just made smaller for women.
Now Nike have released a shoe specifically for kids or people with small feet (sizes go from UK child’s 13 - full size 6). Doesn’t particularly have grom vibes either, particularly in black/gum. Using the blue because the design elements are more visible.
It does have an awful inverted tick on the other side though.
What’s everyone’s thoughts? On the face of it, it’s more inclusive design which is great, but is it not specific enough, or just a half-arsed attempt to cash in on what nobody else is doing yet?

Guess a few skate companies have done similar stuff with certain pro models/ think the Nike Leo Baker shoe and the Vans Lizzie Armanto were similar design ideas? Supposed to be thinner in areas where you might have more narrow feet! Weirdly I have super wide feet and thought the Lizzie shoe wasn’t going to fit me but it fit better than a Sk8 Hi, weird.
Women’s specific outdoor gear has been a thing for years. For instance, backpacks and hike boots fit differently on women and consequently companies manufacturing decent quality equipment have been making product with that in the forefront of its design for decades.
You might think that boots would just need to be shorter in length but women’s calves continue down the leg to closer to the ankle than men’s do. They also, more often than not, have a higher arch, wider forefoot and narrower heel than men. As a result, to have boots fit correctly and comfortably, women’s boots are designed to fit these anatomical characteristics. Same deal with backpacks - narrower shoulders, a shorter upper body, wider hips and lower centre of gravity in women than men mean that backpacks fit differently and are built with this in mind.
Nike did this with a Womens specific football boot called the Phantom Luna too
