👟 men’s sneaker guide
men’s white sneakers
I own more white sneakers than any other color. And I’m not afraid to get them scuffed up either. If you take care of them and wipe them clean often, you can make white sneakers last longer than you think. And I’m being honest here when I say that I truly believe white sneakers are the best compliment to outfits. Don’t sleep on them:
Knit with Rothy’s signature thread (spun from plastic water bottles)
Creamy white upper with streamlined stitch lines for a one-of-a-kind design
Matching cream laces and a dark navy and white lace stay, made with recycled materials
Tan outsoles with grooves on the bottom for added traction and durability. Crafted with bio-based TPU
Padded ankle collar with dark navy lining for extra cushioning, filled exclusively with excess yarn to minimize waste
Lace-up fastening
Padded tongue and cuff
Signature PUMA branding
Durable rubber outsole
Textured grip tread
men’s slip-on sneakers
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of slip-ons is those checkered Vans straight out of the 90s haha. But slip-ons have matured and they’re a great addition to your closet if you want something classy and you hate tying your shoes.

men’s designer sneakers
If you’ve got the budget, designer sneakers are the real deal. They’ve got the most unique aesthetics and colorways. It really is art in its purest form (at times). StockX and GOAT aren’t billion-dollar companies if designer sneakers weren’t. And adding designer sneakers to your closet can really wow the crowd if you decide to sport them for a night.

men’s high top sneakers
You need some high tops in your life. And if you’ve never owned some, nows the time. Most folks aren’t comfortable with high tops, especially if you’re older. It can look out of place. But not if you pick up the right ones that can complement your outfits.

men’s dress sneakers
Casual wear is in. And it will be for a while. It’s not a faux pas to wear sneakers with suits to a wedding anymore (I’ve done it, and seen many others do it too). And if you can find the right dress sneaker, you can wear them in a ton of different settings. And they’re actually comfortable. Why do you think brands like Cole Haan and Allen Edmonds have shifted their strategies? It’s what the people want!

men’s wide sneakers
Don’t worry fellas. If you got big ass feet, I didn’t leave you out haha. This is pretty self-explanatory. Here are some wide sneakers that you can add to your closet:
Engineered mesh delivers breathable comfort
Late stage balanced Meta-Rocker geometry creates a unique fulcrum effect that encourages a smoother transition from heel-strike through toe-off
Midfoot H-Frame for increased upper support and midfoot lockdown

men’s black sneakers
I’ve had a tough time wearing black sneakers. There’s a reason why black Air Force Ones are forbidden. But I found my niche. And it’s with white soles. They work with more outfits, and I feel pretty comfortable with them. But I’ve added all blacks for those that sport minimalist looks, too:
Soft and comfortable digital knit
Breathable fabrics
Moisture-wicking insoles (for wearing with or without socks)
Washable & dries quick
Cushioned insoles are removable and washable
Flexible rubber sole moves with your feet
Packs flat (Perfect for any bag or your travels)

men’s leather sneakers
Leather sneaks give me The Hamptons vibes. I love them. You can create really unique outfits. That light brown and off-white palate can look so clean and classy. They get pricey, but these brands are some of the best to do it:
Supple full-grain leather with a soft, microfiber lining creates an ultra-comfy and premium fit. Leather details on the tongue top and heel add style.
The dual-density PU footbed, cushy gel insert, and removable/washable microfiber footbed cover deliver all-day support. Featuring artwork inspired by Ohe Kapala.
Lightweight, high-rebound EVA midsole and non-marking 'Wet Grip Rubber outsole adds support and extra traction on wet surfaces.
