Luxury Footware

It’s hard to define the term luxury footwear in the sneaker diligence, especially in today’s terms with so many mainstream labels dominating shelf space. In every sneaker purchase we all want that sneaker that has virtues of color, fabric, brand, modishness and street cred.

However, I believe that the varieties and options of sneakers have expanded beyond anyone’s expectations in the passing years. Take for example Common Projects. This collaborated brand between designers Prathan Poopat (whom is also the former art director for Visionaire and V, one of the most limited edition magazines in the world) and Flavio Girolami, are hand made in Italy from premium nappa leather. They come in slick minimalist design with a Maison Martin Margiela’ish logo branding on the heel. These would be a great alternative to your normal Dior Homme or Gucci sneakers.

These shoes cop for a hefty $275usd price tag.
