Sneaks we’d recommend incorporating into your rotation

End/Ssense

2024: what a time to be alive for those with a fondness for footwear. Each week brings an influx of new, refreshed and revisited trainers designed, produced and released by brands positioned across the sneaker spectrum, from Nike to Oakley to Bottega.

Naturally, the primary downside of an inundation of footgear options is that it can give rise to indecision. It can be quite an arduous task deciphering which treads are worth copping and which are better left on the shelf. Enter our weekly trainer roundup designed to take the hard work out of your sneaker shopping experience.

While you're here, please do sign up to the Esquire Shops newsletter. Each week, we'll be directing you towards some of the best menswear deals happening right now, alongside style advice, trend reports, grooming tips and product recommendations from the most tasteful people we know.

SSENSE

SHOP

On has been one to watch for the last couple of years; the 14-year-old Zurich-born label has steadily risen through the ranks of the sneakerverse, recruiting legions of fans in various pockets of society each step of the way.

And this year is set to be its biggest yet as the brand plans to properly utilise its most famous investor, Swiss tennis player Roger Federer. Here we have the just-released 'clay' colourway of his eponymous tennis trainer.

Maison Mihara Yasuhiro

best trainers 2024
Browns

SHOP

It's fair to say the Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's signature clay-like sole has been around the block, having coupled up with uppers inspired by all the world's most recognised trainers.

Most recently, it's been flirting with noughties styles, like the kind of chunky skateboard creps that had a chokehold on alt cliques circa 2008. We must admit: it works.

Noah x Puma

Hip

SHOP

IYCMI, one of the in-things in sneakers is to flex a foldover tongue. Need sorting out? The Wales Bonner x Adidas collab, the Fenty x Puma collab, and as of not so long ago, the Noah x Puma collab is where you should be looking.

best trainers 2024
Note Shop

SHOP

Blackpool-born skateboarder Danny Brady has designed the Vans Safe Low – a silhouette inspired by the brand's archives – with Ghillie laces and a bootie sockliner to ensure the shoe feels secure on your feet at all times.

It also looks good, largely thanks to some nice, premium sky blue-coloured leather.
