For the past two years, so-called Dad shoes have gone from being exclusively for fathers to capturing the soles (couldn’t help myself) of the sneaker community and the entire fashion universe. Silhouettes got chunkier, tones got dull as the morning paper, and people got comfier rocking shoes that used to be reserved for your local Lowe’s parking lot. But with the Dad shoe wave crashing down on us all, one universal question still remained: which Dad shoe is the true man of the house?
So we decided to settle it the old fashioned way, with another bracket allowing YOU to pick the Dad-est Dad shoe of all time. From the OG Nike Monarchs to the Signature Kirkland joints (shout out Jawn Mayer), every fatherly favorite is here, so check the bracket above and lace in your picks (ok, really should stop it now).
Also, make sure to follow StockX on Instagram to vote for your favorite Dad shoe in each round of the tourney starting tomorrow, and by Father’s Day we will crown our official Dad shoe champion.
And if you’re asking yourself why we’re doing all this, know that it’s just for kicks.
