Step up your sneaker game with these all-star kicks.

luxury designer sneakers

After a period of fashion sneakers – that is, designed by a luxury fashion house – that had gotten increasingly outre and novel, we’re coming back down to earth with more straightforward, sensible designs.

Whether they’re inspired by the good old heyday of sneaker style of the ’80s and ’90s or by actual sporting shoes, one thing is clear: smart and simple kicks that look convincingly like they could do a little sporting duty are back in style.

Here is a pick of 14 of the best that you can go out and get right now.

14 luxury sneakers for your athleisure looks
Freeminder leather sneakers, $670, Longchamp
image

The exaggerated outsoles of these leather sneakers will literally put a bounce in your step. Extra marks for their elastic no-tie laces secured with the brand’s signature bamboo-shaped toggle.

Longchamp
Climber technical knit and rubber sneakers, $1,070, Bottega Veneta
image

The name of these rubber-blend slip-ons says it all. Climbing’s real popular these days, right?

Bottega Veneta
Arthur technical knit and rubber sneakers, $1,250, Burberry
image

That these cotton and rubber kicks are capped with an overshoe inspired by rain boots makes stomping around in them an even more carefree affair.

Burberry
Giv 1 leather and mesh sneakers, $1,550, Givenchy
image

A streamlined upper in an unexpected mix of leather, technical fabric and mesh on a transparent sole = Matthew Williams’ first sneaker for the house of Givenchy

Givenchy
One Stud leather sneakers, $1,230, Valentino
image

Retro-sporty meets just the right dose of rock ’n’ roll.

Valentino
Greca Tresor de La Mer canvas sneakers, $820, Versace
image

Like your favourite casual cotton kicks elevated with raised outsoles debossed with the brand’s signature geometric pattern

Versace
Gucci Baskets PU and viscose sneakers, price unavailable, Gucci
image

Possibly the coolest thing about these genderless, B-ball-inspired high-tops? They’re crafted with PU and viscose derived from organic, renewable or sustainably managed sources yet look like they’re made of leather.

Gucci
Celine by Hedi Slimane Z Trainer CT-01 calfskin sneakers, $1,250, Celine
image

When Hedi Slimane does athletic, you know it’ll be too cool for school.

Celine
AZ Factory neoprene and mesh sneakers, US$587 (S$778), www.net-a-porter.com
image

Trust the late Alber Elbaz to distil his jubilant eye for colour even into a pair of neoprene sneakers (the designer nicknamed them “Pointysneaks”) at the made-for-all label he had launched just earlier this year.

Net-A-Porter
Flow Runner leather sneakers, $1,100, Loewe
image

Inspired by ’70s track shoes and distinguished by soles that curve over the heels and toes, these suede and nylon sneakers get an extra jolt with accents in summertime hues as part of the brand’s latest Paula’s Ibiza collab.

Loewe
Moncler Vantalith stretch knit sneakers, US$695 (S$920), www.ssense.com
image

Yes, Moncler does shoes – pretty damn cool ones that are as fashionable as they are utilitarian like these lightweight PU and rubber high-tops with vulcanised outsoles and a cushy leather insole.

Moncler
Boomerang leather sneakers, $1,200, Hermes
image

A modern staple with its minimalist lines, now updated in one of its most fun colourways yet.

Hermes
Wave mesh sneakers, $580, Kenzo
image

Inspired by swim shoes and meant as a tribute to Japanese amas – women divers who risk their lives to collect pearls. Oh, and they’re made of PU (read: it’s somewhat water-resistant).

Kenzo
D-Connect neoprene sneakers, $1,650, Dior
image

Neoprene sneakers featuring the brand’s Dior Around The World print – why aren’t actual running shoes ever this pretty?
