10 Types Of Sneakers Every Man Should Own
Sep
Sneakers are known to be the most casual and friendly kind of shoes available out there. If you go out on the streets and take a look around, the majority of shoes you’ll see will be sneakers. Everyone loves sneakers in all forms and styles as they are comfortable, fashionable, and in most cases, affordable as well. It is said that you can ‘sneak up’ on someone wearing sneakers while you cannot do so with leather shoes and hence the name ‘sneakers’ entered our lexicon. Not that we want you to sneak up on anyone though, but we seriously want you to look trendier and more fashion-forward. And so on that note, here are ten different types of sneakers you really need to have in your wardrobe

Comfortable, simple, and yet super trendy, they can easily be paired up with all kinds of outfits – be it casual, smart casual, or even party ensembles. As such, these white and grey plimsoll sneakers, which will go equally well with denim shorts, linen chinos, and formal trousers, are pretty much guaranteed a place of prominence in your sneaker collection.
2. These Slip-On Sneakers
The lace-less version of plimsolls are called slip-ons. Easy to wear, these sneakers are perfect for those who prioritise comfort and simplicity. Needless to say that these navy blue slip-ons from United Colors of Benetton will make for the perfect choice for those who are looking for something that is minimalistic yet fashionable.

4. Classic Canvas Sneakers
If you’ve been living under a rock for most of your life and have had to google the question “What are sneakers?”, then you probably would have been greeted with a photo of these Converse sneakers as the first search result. After all, these are among the most recognisable type of sneakers out there. However, we thought you should go for something different and move on from the usual low ankle sneakers by trying on their high ankle versions. Not only will they help accentuate your ensemble with a fashionable touch, but they will also make for a comfortable, durable, and long-term investment.
5. Adidas Men’s VS Advantage Tennis Shoes
A pair of white sneakers is a must-have in every well-dressed man’s collection, so why not go for one of the most iconic silhouettes in the world of men’s footwear? These tennis shoes from Adidas rank extremely high in looks as well as versatility, as they go well with all kinds of outfits (yes, formal too!). As such, these fancy sneakers are well worth their price tag, and would instantly improve any shoe collection.
6. These High Top Sneakers from Nike
High top sneakers are among the best types of sneakers for everyone out there. Apart from their utility on the basketball court, they also make for the perfect accessory for a party ensemble, especially when you team them up with the right pair of chinos, trousers, or jeans. In fact, the double duty these shoes pull off (useful on the court AND off the court) is precisely why you shouldn’t think twice before owning a pair.
7. These Velcro Sneakers
Here’s an option for those who just can’t be bothered with shoelaces – although they can be a bit tricky to pull off, velcro sneakers can help accentuate your casual ensemble with just the right amount of style and fashion. Available in a variety of eye-catching colour combinations, you can put these bad boys on for a casual or smart-casual ensemble with the utmost confidence, making them well worth their affordable price tag.
8. These ‘Denim’ Sneakers
When we think of denim, we often confine our thoughts to either a pair of jeans or a badass jacket. Attempting to rock double denim is one of the most bold fashion choices you can go for, but the payoff when you pull it off successfully is huge, which is why you need to accessorise accordingly. As such, these blue sneakers from Converse will complement the denim that you’re wearing in the best possible way, while the incredibly low price also makes them a steal of a deal.
9. These Printed Sneakers
Have you built up a collection of all types of sneakers, but shied away from printed variants for fear of coming across as too over-the-top? Well, we’re here to reassure you that, as long as the prints are not overwhelming (although even those can work if paired with the right things), printed sneakers can make almost any outfit more fashionable. So add these black/ white printed sneakers to your cart, and you’ll be the proud owner of a high-fashion accessory that will always set your footwear game apart from the rest.
10. These Knitted Sneakers
As far as the different types of sneakers go, knitted sneakers can be incredibly challenging to own (especially since they’ll require a lot of maintenance). However, they have become a huge fashion trend these days and for all the right reasons – they are uber cool, simple, comfortable, and incredibly modish. So opt for these sneakers, and your fashion game will be all the better for it.
