Let’s be real. You could have all the heat in the world when it comes to grailed kicks, but without a solid pair of black sneakers you’re selling yourself short.
Black sneakers are essential to a footwear lineup, offering maximum versatility (black goes with everything) and opportunities both to stand out or let other statement pieces in your fit shine. Due to their vast styling potential, sportswear and fashion brands alike continue to drop new incarnations of monochrome kicks all year round.

From HOKA’s technical sneakers to monochrome staples from luxury labels like Maison Margiela, these all-black sneakers are here to hold you down.
