I have come to realise that the act of wearing runners with jeans has been attached with an unnecessary stigma. In an act of pure spontaneity, I committed the most grave of crimes in the world of fashion, and wore 'junners' to school today. Also labelled 'sneaky jeans' or 'sneans', junners are generally thought to be rocked by social misfits, embarrassing parents, and those who just can't let go of the 80s.
But I think it's time for that mindset to change. Society should be ready to take the epochal step forward of embracing the comfort and timelessness of this look, whilst casting away unfair prejudices. Arm yourselves with your Nike, Adidas, or hell, even New Balance sneakers, because it's time for a revolution of the junners!
If you want, you can wear them ironically for starters. Tell your friends you're taking the piss out of the local nutjob and they will soon be chuckling in awe of your wit. Soon however, the humour of your attire will wear off, and like me, you will realise the incredible practicality and true beauty of junners.
I'm not saying this won't be a challenge; I know there will be haters out there that just can't locate the hash-tag-swag in jeans and runners. But I think that if society can pull together in denim unity, we can do this.
We can breathe life back into junners.
