4 hightop sneakers you won’t regret investing in the fall’21


During this season, one still has the summer behind with all the good memories and the lightness of the days. In fact, we all do feel that we are dragging a part of the summer with us deeply to Septembers. So far, a big part of this also influences our fashion do’s and dont’s.

Even though, fallers prefer boots and sneakers, the later remain more popular this season considering particularly their comfort. Moreover, they would find a certain novelty in luxury hightop sneakers for men with an emphasis on ‘fashion to function‘.

During the season, we are re-tasting the dark and neutral color palettes like the camels, dark oranges or the navy style over stronger material and rich leathers and suedes. If you are eager to know what sneaker trends are in, I suggest you keep reading below. Actually, RS benchmarked several fashion industry references to come up with an exclusive 4-pickers for our gentlemen, most of which are hightop sneakers!

What I know for a fact is that by the end of this read, you will want to get at least one of those new pairs as part of your footwear rotation.

GUCCI White Baskets

As famous as its multicolored funky cousin presented earlier this summer, these hightops reflect the cool style of the 90’s sporting way and some distinctive on-court aesthetics through features and detailing.

This lace-up sneaker Gucci basket is the newest rendition of the house baskets and it is in top of our hightop sneakers list. In fact, it’s been quite a success amongst our fellow frequent travelers given how comfortable it is of a fit.

Throughout the white window and the distressed effect, one truly appreciates the gentle fabric and the eco-leather. And who is to miss the interlocking G motif and the signature sign-off sidewise on these distinctive Guccis?!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Louis Orlato Suede

Throughout this joyful brown, the Louis Orlato Louboutin model brings to mind the Eightees codes of basketball sneakers. In fact, this piece underlines another time the devotion of Monsieur Louboutin to tonal sneakers.

The new season’s Louis showcases classic lines and a minimal bar through a retro feeling that we are never fed up from. Sleek and discrete as it is, the pair was exclusively shaped to a baseball-inspired high-top silhouette.

Besides, the ‘toucher’ is set on another level considering the distinctive craftmanship through which it had gone. Actually, these Italian-made sneakers were setup with a luxurious Islande Veau Velour suede, covered in turn with some of the finest grosgrain pipings.

Not so different in style from its leather cousin and summer best-seller, the Orlato has definitely great chances of becoming a season-favorite. Moreover, the sophisticated luxe-pair could fit with anything-look although tailored pants would suit these like a charm.

Often present in our top picks, the Off-white sneaks never cease to impress through their futuristic design. The house in fact remains creative and sporty particularly throughout its hightop silhouettes for women and men.

The remarkable 3.0 Off-court supreme sneakers were crafted with khaki suede panels over a gentle white leather. That envied sophistication guaranteed!

The first thing that is eye-catching is the orange-colored signature labels ornaments featuring texts which never fail to bring the design spirits and the brand’s genius to life. And of course, the iconic side eyelet but in a new black and white style!

D&G Leather Portofino High-Tops

Classics from house Dolce & Gabbana, the camouflage black Portofino sneakers definitely mark a statement as you put your best foot forward into the cozy streets of Milano or London!

This new season showcases a new high-top rendition throughout this iconic masculine Portofino silhouette. Actually, the aesthetic is striking, bold and discrete at the same time. The silver tone coating combination with the black sole and laces is one of a kind as the calfskin brings a camouflage effect. No time to Die indeed, Bond!

Craft-wise also, the Italianomade pair has got two distinct details: the rubber spoiler on the back and the micro-injection logo sidewise; a soul shaker! Surely, our gents deserve an eye-catching addition like this one on their shoerack before the winter hits cold bottoms.
