Sneakers are no doubt a powerful tool of self-expression today. However, the men’s sneaker universe is vast, and can be difficult to navigate. With drop culture designed to feed the insatiable sneaker lust of our times, a new got-to-have-it pair is launched every few days, making it tough to decide what to add to the arsenal. That's why we’re here to do the trainer-spotting for you.

Our top recommendation? Invest in luxe achromatic sneakers. Emphasis on Invest and Luxe. 

Why, you say. Here's why. Luxury (or luxe) is often not immediately visible to the eye. Investing in quality means paying attention to the details you don’t always see—like the intricate movement inside a mechanical watch, the full hand canvassing in a tailored jacket, or the stitch, sticking, and substance that goes into a well-crafted shoe.


These sneakers are crafted by fashion houses with a formidable reputation for luxury goods. With their modern and graphic vibe, they not only look great, but are versatile enough to pair well with almost everything in your wardrobe.

Remember—sometimes, the best step in life is to keep it black and white.
