After launching in '92 as one of the sporting industry's most innovative performance runners, the New balance 530 soon became a favourite amongst Brick Lane's fashionistas. Why?
Wide-set mesh, premium leather, plush suedes and a lot of technology for the price-tag; you could lace-up an ENCAP and ABZORB-clad performance shoe, without looking estranged on the runway.
4. Asics GEL-Kayano 14 'Khaki/Green'
Our team has picked this silhouette before, and they're likely to pick it again! By re-introducing the GEL-Kayano 14, ASICS combined a vintage-loving Shoreditch aesthetic with that recognisable retro-future sporting heritage found in every stride.
3. New Balance 997H 'Light Aluminium'
By injecting a dose of heritage into every panel, New Balance reimagined their progressive 997 silhouette for the modern market. This particular pair was completed with help from ENCAP stability, premium suede and a timeless colourway.
2. Birkenstock Grooved Platform Arizona Vegan
Vegan Birko-flor? Check! Birkenstock's grooved, platform sole? Check! An iconic upper unaltered for elevated comfort? Check, again!
This is the Birkenstock Arizona, with a twist; where there's comfort, there's a Birken-sandal.
1. Kickers Tovni Lo... Back to School!
Perhaps it was best to save this pair for last - after all, we wouldn't want to remind you of school-time with just one week left of term. Homework is over, though clean styling remains!
Inspired by classic tennis silhouettes, the Tovni Lo features minimal branding and Kickers' signature fleurette to one side.
If you're worried about your feet getting warm, then put every ounce of faith in the brand's anti-odour technology - putting your feet first, whatever the occasion!
