Summary

The Canadian sneaker market has seen substantial expansion and transformation throughout the years, reflecting the country's dynamic fashion landscape and shifting customer preferences. Sneakers, long linked with sports and athletic activities, have become an essential part of Canadian casual and streetwear fashion. The Canadian sneaker market has grown rapidly, owing to factors such as a growing population, rising disposable income, and a significant cultural influence from sports and urban lifestyles.
