The Elevated Designer Sneakers Fashion Insiders Actually Wear Off-Duty

Loewe’s Flow Runners are one of the most ubiquitous styles when it comes to designer sneakers.

The buzz around metallic sneakers has died down a bit, but that’s a sin if you ask me. These add the perfect pop to any casual look.

Grunge is back with a vengeance. This sneaker made its debut on the Prada runway, and the lived-in look will soon have a place in our closets.

Although I’ve always had a soft spot for Gucci’s anklet-style sneakers, these are too good to miss out on, too.

When the time comes for me to retire my beloved Adidas SL72s, I’ll upgrade to this similar version from Dries Van Noten.

If you thought Balmain just did haute couture, you thought wrong.

Although Golden Goose might be the outlier among this group, it is the designer sneaker. I’m currently loving this calf-hair option.

Hey, there’s no shame in wanting a little added height. I love a platform sneaker, personally.

I love when sneakers are low-profile, and I love when they’re suede, making this sleek option a dream come true for me.

For a designer sneaker that doesn’t exactly scream “designer,” this pair from Off-White is a great choice.

Why not have some fun? Balenciaga brings a contemporary twist to the classic dad shoe with this technicolor pair.
