Converse x Comme Des Garcons
For the more discerning Converse-wearer. That little Play Comme Des Garcons heart face makes all the difference.
ALL the difference...
Common Projects
Common Projects don't meddle with many styles, but what they do they do exceptionally well. These matte grey Achilles will be your winter staples.
£265, endclothing.com
Vans
Vans has just released a nostalgic collaboration with Toy Story. Our pick of the bunch is this pair of 'out there' slip ons with a Sid theme. We always feel he was just a bit misunderstood.
£52, schuh.co.uk
Gucci
In typical Gucci fashion, the idiosyncratic Italian brand has taken the simple leather hightop and turned it into a piece of high fashion. The tiger being its current animal du jour.
£485, mrporter.com
Asics
We couldn't have a Christmas trainer round-up without a pair of actual Christmas-themed trainers. Luckily these Gel Lyte V's by Asics are more trendy than tragic.
£99, endclothing.com
Nike
Aficionados have been waiting for a 'triple black' version of Nike's Flyknit Racer for years and now, finally, they're prayers have been answered. You're going to need to be quick to grab these...
£130, nike.com
Reebok
Reebok's latest in their ongoing collaboration with rapper Kendrick Lamar, the luxury green leather upper is inspired by a saying originating in Kendrick's home town of Compton where the Bloods wear red and the Crips blue: 'When you mix red and blue together you make green.'
He's asking everyone to get along, basically. And they're nice trainers.
£99.95, reebok.com
New Balance
New Balance make four million pairs of shoes a year in the USA. These 997's are one such pair. They come in a very slick navy suede and 'Castaway' (a type of blue, fyi) colourway.
The trainers of a true patriot.
