English term

the unique and the mundane

English to Italian Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Sneakers
The answer is most likely a combination of ***the unique and the mundane***. Boob-heads (prisoners) claimed the XXXX was prized because it was one of the best running shoes on the market when it was released, providing much-needed foot support. The sole-length windows promised optimal comfort, a quality dearly prized since inmates were on their feet all day, every day. Although rules vary from state to state and prison to prison, for the most part, prisoners can buy some clothing and footwear through the prison canteen system or from an approved third-party vendor.

Grazie a tutti

distintività/riconoscibilità e comodità/comfort/praticità

Sempre dopo aver letto l'articolo: la scarpa conferisce un look distintivo, subito riconoscibile (quello del "tipo tosto", "up to no good", come dice l'autore) ma è anche comoda da indossare per i detenuti che eccetera eccetera.

Infatti dopo si legge: "In addition to being comfortable, the XXX retained the ability to confer hard case status on anyone who rocked a pair".

Cioè: il successo della scarpa è dovuto non solo al fatto che ti conferisce uno status, ma anche a quello più terra terra ("mundane") che è comoda da indossare
