Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Ox Parchment
Nothing beats the classics, making this Converse sneaker a great choice for those wanting sneakers that can be worn with just about anything. The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Ox Parchment brings Converse’s signature red, white, and blue colours and puts it into a low-cut sneaker. Unstructured canvas uppers add a pliable feel while a cushioned footbed makes the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Ox a great shoe to wear all year round. Retail for this shoe is £65, but most of the sizes on StockX are selling way below retail.
Nike Blazer Low sacai White Magma Orange
Since 2015, Nike and Japanese brand, sacai, have delivered unorthodox designs to some of the Swoosh’s signature silhouettes. The two brands’ most recent collaboration produced another interesting twist to a classic sneaker, this time focusing on the Nike Blazer Low. The Nike Blazer Low sacai White Magma Orange adds a twisted look to the basketball sneaker, with double laces, stacked tongues, and overlapping Swooshes all over the upper. Outside of the sneaker’s eye-catching look, its bright Magma and Orange colourway makes this sneaker pop in a way that’s perfect for the summer. Most Nike and sacai collaborations could run you £150+ but these are selling for well under £100 in most sizes, so make sure to capitalize on the deal now.
Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Mid Undefeated Forest
Last year, LA-based boutique Undefeated collaborated with Converse to transform the Converse Chuck Taylor into a mid-cut sneaker. The iconic Converse Chuck Taylor is usually seen in either low or high-top iterations, which makes this Undefeated release more of a standout from other Chucks. The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star 70 Mid Undefeated Forest features a tiger camo upper throughout the sneaker, while a blue outsole and Undefeated’s tally logo on the midsole complete the design. If you’re looking to break away from the norm and save some coin, check out these Converse, as they are currently selling well below their £85 retail price.
adidas Samba Vegan White Gum
The adidas Samba has remained one of the Three Stripes’ most revered models. The sneaker has maintained its relevancy for over 70 years thanks to its endorsements and celebrity spottings by some of fashion and pop culture’s most well-known icons, like Frank Ocean and A$AP Rocky. But as the Earth’s environment has changed in the past 70 years, so has consumers’ focus on sustainability and, in 2020, adidas gave the Samba a vegan leather makeover. The adidas Samba Vegan White Gum shares basically the same look as the OG soccer sneaker, but utilizes white vegan leather uppers, reducing the use of animal by-products. With some of the sizes selling below their £75 retail value and interest in the sneakers growing each day, make sure to secure a pair soon before prices start to rise.
Converse Run Star Hike Ox White Black Gum
What started off as a one-time sneaker for Converse’s 2019 J.W. Anderson collab has become an ongoing seasonal offering from the sneaker brand. The Converse Run Star Hike continues to win over hearts thanks to its bold look and possibly for giving the wearer an extra boost in height. This pair, in particular, the Converse Run Star Hike Ox White Black Gum, brings a low-cut look that’s great for the summer heat. A treaded outsole and thick midsole provide stability and comfort with every step. The Converse Run Star Hike Ox White Black Gum ranges in sizes from as low as 3 all the way to 13, making it a shoe that can be worn by most. And with most sizes trading for under its £90 MSRP, the decision for anyone to cop a pair just got even easier.
Reebok Club C 85 White Green
The Reebok Club C 85 is another low-cut offering fit for the summer that keeps you under budget. The Club C originated as Reebok’s premier tennis sneaker in 1985, but collabs with JJJJound, Maison Margiela, and Tyrell Winston, have transitioned the Club C into a streetwear favourite. This Reebok Club C 85 White Green is constructed with soft white leather uppers with hits of green on the heel, tongue, and a lateral logo. EVA cushioning is added to the midsole for comfort. For those looking for a minimal sneaker, this Reebok Club C is just the right look for you.
