After all, they’re current and comfortable, which will give your work wear a stylish twist on casual Fridays and keep your soles cosy when you’re out running errands on the weekends.

Scroll through for our picks of the latest ugly sneakers that you’ll need in your closet, pronto.

This pair of Air Max 95 is the first pair from the series to incorporate a visible Nike Air cushioning in its sole. As part of a capsule collaboration with Cav Empt, a streetwear clothing label that’s founded by Ska8thing, what we love about this pair of kicks is its eclectic prints. Wear it with a off-shoulder top and a pair of sweatpants for that off-beat cool.
