Zegna Brown Suede Triple Stitch Monte Sneakers

Named after the Italian word for ‘mount’, Zegna’s Triple Stitch Monte sneakers are a seamless blend of style and durability. Crafted in Italy from soft suede, they’re fitted with signature triple-crossed elastic fastenings for an easy slip-on fit – a subtle nod to the traditional hand-stitching of the brand’s famous jackets. Vibram Arctic Grip All Terrain soles provide sturdiness underfoot, making them the ideal pair for winter conditions.

adidas Originals x Song for the Mute Adizero Sneakers 

Part of its second collaboration with Australian brand Song for the Mute, the adidas Originals Black Adizero sneakers are made to make a statement. Designed for those who love fashion-forward styles with a touch of rebellion, they have comfortable textile uppers and thick rubber soles for reliable traction, and will ensure you make an impression in any scenario. Check out the other colourways, too: metallic grey and head-turning red.

Burberry Beige Leather Check Matrix Sneakers

Ingrained into British culture, the Burberry check was first used in the 1920s to line its world-famous raincoats. Made in Italy, the brand’s new Check Matrix Sport sneakers have smart suede panels and Burberry check mesh, revamped with a bright orange accent. They’re completed with lightweight rubber soles and the brand’s original Equestrian Knight logo, crowd-sourced from a public competition in 1901.

Lemaire White Suede Soft Runner Sneakers

Nestled in Paris’ historic Le Marais district, Lemaire specialises in modular pieces rooted in noble fabrics and timeless minimalism. Inspired by vintage track shoes, these Soft Runner sneakers are crafted from lightweight neutral suede, making them an ideal choice for everyday wear. They’ll pair especially well with the brand’s effortless winter collection, starring versatile hues of brown, black, navy and cream.

On Black Cloudmonster 2 Trainers

Olympic athletes to commuters, A-listers to Sunday farmers’ marketers: few brands claim such universal appeal. On’s resounding success can be chalked up to its fusing the gap between lifestyle and performance. The new Cloudmonster 2 is upgraded with the largest CloudTec cushioning the brand has ever used, resulting in heightened propulsion for high-impact running, supported by dual-density Helion superfoam likened to walking on air.

Rick Owens Brown DRKSHDW Waxed Canvas High-Top Sneakers

Rick Owens attracts such a loyal following that the brand’s fans are affectionately dubbed its ‘Tribe’. These high-top sneakers from the DRKSHDW line are made in Italy from waterproof waxed canvas and bear the hallmarks of the brand’s avant-garde aesthetic: wrap-around laces, oversized tongues and punkish serrated soles. Zips placed along the inside foot make them easy to pull on, too.

Off-White White Suede Be Right Back Sneakers

The younger sibling to its late founder Virgil Abloh’s Out of Office shoes (spotted on Ben Affleck), Off-White’s Be Right Back sneakers take inspiration from Japanese running shoes from the ’80s and ’90s. Made of contrasting suede panels, they’re finished with bold graphic arrows, a signature zip tag, and a whopping three pull tabs on the heel – plenty to catch the eye.

Church’s Brown Suede Livingston Sneakers

Based in Northampton, the shoemaking capital of England, Church’s can trace its origins all the way back to 1617. Testament to its innovative spirit, these Livingston sneakers combine a classic running shoe design with elastic slip-in laces for an easy fit and maximum comfort. For something more formal, be sure to check out their faultless loafers, Oxfords and boots.

Golden Goose Burgundy Suede Super-Star Sneakers

An original and now iconic design, Golden Goose’s Super-Star sneakers showcase the brand’s unique aesthetic: a pre-distressed treatment creating the look of a cool vintage find. In fact, they are meticulously handmade in Italy from brick-red suede, and finished with a striking animal-print heel tab. Style yours with your favourite leather jacket or distressed denim jeans.

Axel Arigato Multi Leather Area Lo Sneakers

A homage to the basketball shoes of the 1990s, Axel Arigato’s Area Lo sneakers would look just right on Michael Jordan. Crafted by hand in Portugal, they’re made from leather, suede and nubuck, and have striking flannel laces for a further play on texture. For another nod to past sports styles, check out the brand’s new Dice sneakers – modelled on track and field runners from the 1970s.
