SHOPPING, BEST OF

BORED OF YOUR STAN SMITHS?

Sneakers are having a moment – we all know it. Worn with wide-legged trousers, they're elegant; worn with jeans, they ooze low-key chic; and worn with summery dresses, they take holiday wear and make it work for the city. It's a domain that has been long ruled by Adidas and Converse; however, there are other brands making a big play right now. Some are old favourites, others are new stars. All give good sneaker at a good price. Here are the ones we recommend.

SAUCONY VINTAGE

ASOS

HK$853.65

Something of a cult product, Saucony’s sporty kicks come in all sorts of candy colours. They're cute and quirky, and they’re a fave with the fashion set – which is why they regularly sell out.

OLD SKOOL CLASSICS

VANS

HK$731.70

These iconic shoes have made a comeback of late, being spotted on several chic ladies feet. They come in several colours, but if you’re keen to work them day to day and can’t get too crazy, then go for classic black. They look surprisingly smart with cropped dark trousers and a neat knit. Honestly, we’ve seen it.
