Women’s style in hip hop tends to be overlooked, and early b-girls, aerosol artists, DJs, and MCs often sported androgynous looks that adapted male style in order to be taken seriously. Over the decades, women in hip hop developed their own looks that incorporated more overtly feminine styles. Today, sports brands like Adidas create designs especially for female-presenting customers like these wedged sneakers.
