Now that winter is in full swing, we’re swapping out our sandals and slides for boots and sneakers. The only problem is that there are so many cool sneaker brands and styles out there at the moment that it can be hard to know where to start on your hunt for the perfect pair.
Of course, you can never go wrong with classic sneakers from brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Converse or Vans, which all offer tried-and-true silhouettes like Dunks, Sambas, Chuck Taylors and Sk8s. However, you’ve also got the option of reinvented styles that are sportier, chunkier, or slimmer designs than the OGs. You can also get your hands on some collectables if you’re into that kinda thing.
While traditionally, we stick to neutral colourways, there are also tonnes of vibrant colours to help brighten up your winter wardrobe. All you have to do is choose your faves and head to the checkout.
