What are court sneakers?

Court sneakers are a name given to shoes used in sports such as tennis, basketball, and badminton. Although tennis shoes have a strong image, in fact, sneakers for basketball use, such as Converse All Star, are also court sneakers. Most of them adopt a low-tech, simple design and are the opposite of the tech-oriented sneakers that have been trending for the past few years. Many models are called masterpieces, and while sneakers with a strong presence are in vogue, I have the impression that more and more men are changing their mood and wearing simple court sneakers, which is attracting renewed attention. The timeless versatility of these sneakers is appealing, and as shown in the snapshots, they have a wide range of protection from dressy styles to casual styles.
