Steve Madden Antonia Style
Since Steve Madden Antonia’s style has a high fashion appeal, you can nail the runway look by teaming this sneaker with an oversized blazer, cycling shorts, and dorky socks or a classic trench coat and leggings. On colder days, you might want to layer up this kick from Steve Madden’s casual shoe lineup with a wool jacket and windbreaker or a turtleneck top, coat, and capris. During summer, you can pull a stylish look by pairing this clunky kick with a tank top, tights, and scrunched sock or simply toss together a pair of skinny jeans and a graphic-printed tee.

Steve Madden Antonia History
Since the trend on dad sneakers began picking up steam, American label Steve Madden has been tossing out chunky-soled pairs that go well with office suits to dresses. One that’s covered with different layers of materials on the upper and a thickset white sole is the Steve Madden Antonia. This kick along with other dad shoes from Steve Madden’s casual shoe lineup is the brand’s reasonably-priced take on the extremely stylish yet steeply priced Balenciaga dad sneakers.
Before Steve Madden dove into the dad shoe craze, it has been known in the fashion world as a brand that’s not afraid to get bold and bodacious with its sneaker designs. Let’s go back to the birth of the Steve Madden company. This style-driven brand was established by its eponymous creator Steve Madden in 1990 in Long Island, New York.
Steve Madden’s first big break was its creation of the chunky platform footwear billed as Mary Lou. Such kick was a Mary Jane spin-off greatly influenced by the Glam Rock look of the punk and grunge years during the 1990s. Since then, Steve Madden continued to create head-turning, fab sneaker profiles, from platform kicks, wedgie sneakers, to the on-trend dad shoes.
