Sometimes the classics need an upgrade. Up your game and your height simultaneously with these top platform footwear from brands like Converse, Nike, Crocs, and more on StockX.
Nike Blazer Low Platform Barely Green
The classic Nike Blazer gets a literal elevated upgrade. The Nike Blazer Low Platform Barely Green features the materials that comprise the everyday Blazer; leather uppers, faded “NIKE’ logo on the heel cap, and exposed nylon tongue. What makes this standout from other Blazers are the bright Barely Green leather upper and the thick Platform midsole, giving you both a stylish and trendy look that’s right for the season.
Converse Run Star Hike Hi Black White Gum
This Converse platform sneaker is another twist on a classic. The Converse Run Star Hike Hi is inspired by hiking boots with its spiked outsole, but it’s a sneaker ready for the streets. The rest of the sneaker is equipped with a thick white sole that contrasts the minimalist black-and-white design, bringing the sneaker back to its original Chuck Taylor All-Star roots.
Converse Run Star Motion White Black Gum
As if the Converse platform sneaker couldn’t go to further heights, the Converse Run Star Motion steps things up. The Converse Run Star Motion White Black Gum evolves the 3-years-young Converse Run Star Hike Hi by giving both the midsole and outsole a distorted look. The entire black, white, and gum sole looks as though it’s consuming the upper, as it measures nearly 3 inches high. A white canvas upper takes on the style of the sneaker’s predecessor, the Converse Chuck Taylor All-star.
Crocs Classic Bae Clog White
The Crocs Classic Clog has seen a surge in popularity thanks to its number of high-profile collaborations with the likes of Salehe Bembury, Post Malone, and Justin Bieber. Recently Crocs Clog has just gotten an uplift to keep up with the brand’s newfound popularity. The Crocs Classic Bae Clog in White features all of the makings of a Crocs Clog but with an added obscure 2.4-inch tall outsole. White EVA-foam throughout provides comfort that Crocs are known for, while giving you a boost in height.
adidas Superstar Platform Beyoncé Ivy Park White Black
The adidas Superstar has been around since the late 60s and was the first sneaker to be hit with a celebrity endorsement deal with Run D.M.C. Although it’s a continuous offering from the Three Stripes, its upgrades and new retros help keep the shoe relevant. A way to continue the Superstar’s legacy is by collaborating with the biggest name in music and culture, including Beyoncé and her Ivy Park clothing brand. In 2020, the adidas and Ivy Park Superstar Platform was a part of Queen Bey and adidas’ first collaborative collection. The sneaker sports signature white and black leather uppers and a Shell-toe toebox. Where classic meets new age is in the Platform sole, where the midsole and outsole are stacked and extend out from the silhouette. With Beyoncé’s upcoming album expected to drop soon this summer, this adidas Superstar Platform Beyoncé Ivy Park White Black sneaker might be a great pick up for any members of the Beyhive.
