There are only two sneaker trends that matter right now: bulky, oversize retro running-inspired sneakers (the ugly-on-purpose kinds made by Balenciaga, Yeezy, and Dior Homme) and sock sneakers (the sleek, ankle-hugging kinds made by those exact same brands, actually). Aesthetically, the two styles could not be any more different. But while the colorful, chunky runners double down on a silhouette your dad and dentist and high school chemistry teacher have sworn by for decades, the recent emergence of sock sneakers has led many guys to ask: Just how the hell do you wear them?
目前值得一提的運動鞋趨勢就兩種：笨重的超大復古運動鞋(由巴黎世家、Yeezy和迪奧·桀傲做的醜醜的那種)和襪口運動鞋(還是相同品牌做的光滑的包裹腳踝的那種)。從審美角度來看，這兩種風格差別實在太大。但是，在五顏六色、笨重的跑步鞋不斷強化父輩、牙醫和高中化學老師推崇了幾十年的鞋型時，最近出現的襪口運動鞋引起許多人發問：這到底要怎麼穿?
Sock sneakers, or "snockers", are easily identified by their knit uppers and hyper-sleek silhouettes. Most look, quite literally, like thick, usually colorful socks with rubber soles attached. Because the style—and the innovations that made them possible in the first place—is still relatively new (i.e. they're just seeping into the mass market), there aren't endless Google image search results to be used as outfit inspiration. So we polled the GQ style braintrust and came up with three easy rules for wearing them, whether you're heading to the gym, to work, or to hit the town.
襪口運動鞋，又叫「snockers」，因其針織鞋面和超級光滑的鞋型而極其容易識別。大多數襪口運動鞋看起來真就像厚厚的、經常五顏六色的襪子下面粘上了橡膠鞋底。創新給它們帶來可能，由於風格相對新穎(即它們剛剛滲透到大眾市場中)，若用谷歌搜索照片來為著裝提供靈感，怕是能搜到的結果有限。於是，我們調查了GQ風格專家顧問團，並得出三條簡單的穿著原則，無論你是穿著它去健身，工作還是去逛街都適用。
Rule #1: The Right Snockers Make It Easy
原則1：款式簡單方才合適
The best sock sneakers are the ones that let their silhouette do the talking, whether they come with laces on the upper or are streamlined to the max. So steer clear of any pairs that combine multiple colors or patterns into the design. Instead, stick with a single solid hue and keep the contrast to a minimum, and you'll have a pair you can slip into no matter what you're wearing above your ankles.
無論襪口需要繫鞋帶還是採用極簡風格，最好的襪口運動鞋都用鞋型說話。因此務必避免顏色過多或圖案組合複雜的鞋子。相反，選擇一個固定的顏色，將色調對比降到最低，這麼一來，不管腳踝以上穿的是什麼，你都可以隨意搭配這雙鞋。
Rule #2: Start with Sweats
原則2：從搭配運動服開始
Pair sock sneakers with gym-ready trousers and you're halfway to a killer outfit. That's the foolproof way to wear them, especially when the sweatpant comes with a tapered, cuffed bottom that doesn't cover your sleek new sneakers. It's a look that plays into the shoes' sporty roots while giving them the shine they deserve.
運動褲配襪口運動鞋，離炫酷的裝扮已然不遠。這是萬無一失的做法，特別是當運動褲腳採用漸縮的窄口設計而不會蓋住光滑的嶄新運動鞋時，這種打扮既保留了鞋子的運動特性，同時讓它們更為出彩。
Rule #3: Say Goodbye to Blue Jeans
原則3：告別藍色牛仔褲
Throwing on some indigo blue jeans above your snockers is the quickest way to push your fit into dad-style territory (and we're not talking the good part). The rugged macho vibes of blue jeans clash with the inherent modernity of a snocker. Black jeans are better, but a pair of very 2017 relaxed-fit trousers cropped above your ankle is best.
襪口運動鞋搭配靛藍色牛仔褲最容易被人誤會是爸爸輩(並不是指好的方面)。藍色牛仔褲的粗獷男人氣概和襪口運動鞋與生俱來的潮流特色顯然不搭。搭配黑色牛仔褲會更適合，搭配最新款式的適中寬鬆長褲則是最好的選擇。
