Putting your best foot forward when stepping out in sneakers is critical to avoiding a fashion faux pas , we don't need to tell you that sneakers are more "fashion" than "performance" even if you are wearing them to the local boxing gym .
Collaborations between traditional footwear companies with leading designers, sports stars and personalities had resulted in a plethora of amazing designs. And online shopping is giving Australian sneakerheads access to the most sort after pairs.
WIndow shopping sneakers is as fun as actually buying (well almost!) with designs ranging from futuristic to urban to incorporating soft toys into the shoe.
Shopper Concierge's top 5 recommended places to shop and things to see from the world of sneakers:
1. OSneaker.com
OSneaker describes itself as "run by sneakerheads for sneakerheads", they range collectors items and rare pairs that will make you the talking point around town. This week they are taking orders for the new Nike Air Foamposite One "Sport Royal" which launches at the end of June, a must on the shopping list
Even though Air Jordans are made by Nike you will be hard pressed to find the cooler designs on Nike.com. So if you are a fan then we suggest that you check out Yes Air Jordan for the comprehensive range of the brand online. Our pick, the boot come sneaker Air Jordan 28 Black/Varsity
3. Adidas
The Adidas partnership with Jeremy Scott has lead to a whole range of sneakers that create conversations in the street. Somewhere between a cuddly toy and a performance shoe the Adidas Jeremy Scott range is always in high demand with limited quantities being produced of each design. Today we are loving the pink poodle mens shoe
John Varvatos and Converse have a range of sneakers that keep the cool Converse look and feel but with a new urban twist that makes the old feel new. Our pick from their range is more grunge than our friends above , the Hi Double Zip Camo done up in distressed canvas and rawhide laces for a distinctive edge.
5. Antonioli
Of course no top 5 shoe list would be complete without an entrant from Italy, the home of shoes. Antonioli is a leading Italian luxury fashion retailer with a great range of shoes. Within their forward thinking collection you will find a sneaker or two that you will most likely be able to match with either your latest suit or a pair of jeans. Our pick the Damir Doma Ankle lace up sneakers with leather panels :
