Why Dubai Walks Different

Walk into any mall in Dubai on a Friday evening and you will notice something. Before anyone speaks, before any wallet appears at the till, the shoes give people away. The teenager outside Carrefour in limited Jordan 1s. The dad at brunch in box fresh New Balance 990s. The girl on her way to a gallery in Marina wearing Sambas that probably cost less than her coffee. Dubai has become a sneaker city, and most people who live here have not stopped to notice it happening.
