Well lots of working class people wear them ngl
I guess it's some sort of lower class bling which is more affordable, and the influence from hip hop culture.

I assume that the poor have less money to spend on clothes so buying clothing and footwear that is suitable for multiple circumstances is probably wise.
Also, chavs.

Male clothing has always originated from (manual) workwear, sportswear or military wear. The dinner jacket, for example, is another piece of clothing that came from sportswear, but this was posh people sports like hunting so it's "respectable".

How can you not wear trainers? They're comfortable. But I'm not a fan of tracksuits as an everyday casual wear
