Unbanal sneakers for spring: Selection of sneakerheads
Sneakers are still the most comfortable shoes in the world. Low heels and massive shoes capture the podiums, but sporty couples are still relevant. In the spring, the weather may change ten times a day, but not all sneakers will be tested by water, mud and wind. We asked stylists and sneakerheads which models they would recommend for an unpredictable spring.
Wilson Rush Open 2.0
$69
Things in tennis aesthetics always look neat and elegant - the Wilson Rush Open 2.0 is just that. The brand does not have a lifestyle unit, but Wilson has good options for everyday wear. For example, Rush Open 2.0 has a minimal design that takes into account all the innovations necessary to get around on the court, so that they look more interesting than others.
Sneakers will perfectly complement any spring look: the model is not inferior to the options of large sports companies, especially Rush Open 2.0 much less often passers-by flashing on their feet - especially when compared to the classic Reebok, Air Max and adidas x Raf Simons. Wilson does not pursue the fact that their sneakers fall into the reports from fashion weeks, and this has its own charm: even among utilitarian shoes today you can find something worthwhile and unusual.
Nike Air Max 1 Anniversary
9790 rub.
My choice for this spring is the Nike Air Max 1 OG 30th Anniversary. This year, Air Max 1 celebrates its 30th anniversary, in honor of which the company is releasing a reprint in the original colors. Sneakers are made of breathable materials, which will be comfortable in the spring, and so that they do not get wet in the rain, do not forget about water-repellent impregnation. The coloring will be appropriate not only in a sporting image, and sneakerheads on the street will appreciate your taste, because the classic is eternal.
Diadora B. Elite
5990 rub.
I chose a personal model of Bjorn Borg of the Diadora brand called Borg Elite. These sneakers appeared in 1981 and immediately fell in love with football fans in the wake of the popularity of Italian sports brands. Over the thirty-six years of its existence, sneakers have disappeared several times from the industry’s field of view, but have always remained an alternative to other tennis silhouettes. Their design was different from the adidas Stan Smith and Nike Wimbledon popular at the time. After the appearance of the brand in Russia, you can buy them cheaper than before: these sneakers are in many stores, including Moscow ones. Made of leather, they will not get wet, unlike suede or fabric, which is important at the very beginning of spring. It is simple to care for them, besides, thanks to its minimalist design, the model will fit everything.
Nike Sportswear WMNS Air Max Plus Slip SP
12 990 rub.
To choose only one model for the spring is difficult, because the weather is constantly changing. Personally, I alternate at least three pairs: so sneakers can be easily chosen for any image and the pair do not wear out so quickly. On warm and dry days, adidas Originals Climacool, which are released in delicate colors this season, is ideal - snakeheads have been waiting for this for a long time. Sneakers have a cool silhouette, they are very light and breathe well thanks to Clima Cool technology.
As an alternative, I would advise adidas Originals Iniki Runner - the perfect example of how technology can be combined with retro style. But for every day I would unconditionally choose Nike Sportswear WMNS Air Max Plus Slip SP. These are not Air Max 95 scorch marks, but a variation of the interesting Air Max TN Plus model: tall, without laces, painted over the air max balloon, non-conventional colors and fit almost everything - is it an ideal pair for spring?
Puma disc blaze shine
11 990 rub.
I do not like delicate colors and rarely buy models made in them. But this spring I was conquered by Puma Disc Blaze with the Shine prefix in the title - apparently, all due to the fact that the top of the sneakers is made under the atlas. Because of the sky-blue color, it seems that they radiate spring and make snow melt as soon as possible. Recently, the German brand is doing something incredible, so it remains only to guess what a hot new product they will present by the summer.
ASICS Gel-Lyte III Lace Mesh Pack
8590 rub.
One of the key models of ASICS, which the company produces since the early nineties. Its popularity is easy to explain: in it, the brand successfully combines original solutions. This is, firstly, the shock-absorbing outsole with proprietary technology Gel - an elastic gel pad under the heel. Secondly, an unusual forked tongue made of soft neoprene - as if another pillow clasps the foot from above. And finally, the design is sporty dynamic, but simple enough for everyday urban footwear. Specifically, this version is called Lace Mesh and gently plays with the theme of femininity: a standard breathable nylon mesh resembles lace.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Core Hi
$54,99
For me, the simplest and most understandable model this year is the high Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Core Hi. You get tired of supersports, futuristic, incredible silhouettes with time, besides classic sneakers are many times less. With proper care, they will last two or three seasons, but as for me, the best time for them is one. You can not worry that the couple will not look very neat, because in the case of Converse, the worse, the better. In early spring they can be worn with a warm sock, and in April-May they will be perfect on their own. Plus a little life hacking: if you have a small foot size, then you can find a pair in the children's store.
Y-3 Yohji Run
20 200 rub.
In the new season, we focused on Y-3 Yohji Run sneakers on Boost sole, one of the most daring models of adidas and Yohji Yamamoto sneakers. In my opinion, the most comfortable sneakers are the brainchild of adidas with designer Yoji Yamamoto. This season, their clean design looks even neater: Yohji Run is made in white with black stripes. They are comfortable for walking and are suitable for any casual look: a black suit or a sweater with jeans. I myself go to the feast and to the world: a great alternative to the annoying Nike.
Adidas Stan Smith Boost
10 890 rub.
Over its long history of adidas Originals, Stan Smith has acquired a large number of interpretations. This model has the simplest silhouette that can be easily combined with anything. Stan Smith Boost will fit in the early spring: these are classic white leather sneakers with a new Boost sole, which is much more comfortable than the previous one and noticeably lightens the weight of the boot. In the late spring, I myself will go to Stan Smith. Primeknit Boost is the lightest model from the Stan Smith family thanks to Primeknit weaving technology and the Boost damping system.
Nike Zoom Spiridon Ultra
9190 rub.
In 1997, this model was a breakthrough in the running shoe industry due to its technological solutions - primarily the soles of Zoom Air. But twenty years later, they love her not so much for it as for her memorable appearance. Mesh upper, contrasting loops of laces and wavy profile of the sole - all this has become a classic of shoe design of the late nineties. This is a very light breathing model with a comfortable cushioning sole: if you walk at least a couple of kilometers in them, you will quickly understand why the runners loved Zoom Air in 1997 so much.
