Sneakers

Sneakers are a modern menswear essential, celebrated internationally for their comfort, practicality and design. Specially curated to include a spectrum of silhouettes for all ages and vocations, our edit of men's sneakers features everything from Gucci's eclectic constructions to Golden Goose minimal shapes.

STYLES FROM THE ARCHIVES

No longer confined to the world of sports, sneakers have fast become ingrained into our daily footwear choices, from smart-casual looks at the office to street style guises at Fashion Week. This global ubiquity had humble beginnings in the 19th century with the invention of the plimsoll and later, the creation of the world's first running shoe by adidas in 1925.

Now, distinguished houses such as Valentino Garavani, Prada and Balenciaga are crafting their own unique adaptions for the contemporary man, with their respective Rockrunner, Cloudbust Thunder and Triple S silhouettes. Other brands are circling back to their archives to revive vintage styles, such as ASICS SportStyle's GEL-Lyte, and Nike's Waffle Racer.

Referencing the past with a futuristic attitude, Bottega Veneta has created its own version of the original plimsoll shoe, in a neoprene and leather iteration.

FIND THE PAIR FOR YOU

Despite their sportswear connotations, sneakers are highly adaptable to most looks and occasions. Men's white sneakers, like Common Projects' Achilles Low or Givenchy's Urban Street, can be paired with a slimline blue suit in the summer.

Suede styles in minimal low-top silhouettes from Gianvito Rossi, Tom Ford and Brunello Cucinelli are ideal for everyday wear, due to their timeless appeal.

For the functional yet fashion-conscious man, Salomon's hiking-inspired S/Lab XT-6 Softground design toes the line between being a sport sneaker, and a statement shoe.

For those who prefer to make a more lasting impact with their looks, choose Balenciaga's bold Track.2, Raf Simons' visionary Anteis shape, or Alexander McQueen's iconic Tread Slick steppers. Your perfect pair of sneakers can be found in our curated edit on Mytheresa Men. Explore now.
