What sneakere/trainers have reached a timeless icon status
Inspired to ask this after seeing some chat about whether killshots are on trend...
Some items of clothing have a status where they are timeless and always relevant, such as the levis type 3 trucker jacket.
Which sneakers/trainers have achieved this status in your mind? Can any? Have Killshots earned this? Could they?
As an easy start to answer my own question I am going yo say Converse All Stars, helped by the fact that they made the 70s which are good quality but on the iconic style, and the fact that the All Stars are now beloved by weightlifters.

Something something nothing is timeless
Prolly vans authentics/meds style canvas sneakers and a handful of NB models as well. Some Jordans models but it depends on your style and what not.
You can certainly wear killshots, but they’re off-trend for sure rn
Lemaire Linoleum Sneakers
Adidas Samba and it's descendants (Gazelles, GATs, Stan Smiths etc)
Converse.
AF1s/jordans
vans (authentics moreso than the slip ons)
granted i'm thinking of timeless in terms of "things that people have worn and will continue to wear for years even if trends change" vs "things that won't be seen as dated in five years"
