Luxury Tennis Sneakers Alternatives from The High Street

Lanvin Basket Suede Sneakers

As far as luxury tennis sneakers remain relevant Lanvin and Common Projects would always be the holy grail. Both labels popularized the most common silhouettes. Lanvin is know for it's cap toes and Common Projects has its signature clean toe with double stitch vamp. A pair of any of these would set you off at least £250. Have no fear if you're not willing to make that sort of investment but at the same time don't want to compromise of the luxe aesthetic. The high street is awash with different offerings from Topman to River Island. 

Common Projects Achilles Low Trainers 

Marks & Spencer's offering tops the list and is the priciest at £85. But it's worth every penny for not only its aesthetics but also its durability. River Island at the moment have the widest variety of luxe-esque tennis sneakers. They come in low and high tops with the low retailing for £50 and the hi top versions £55. 

Autograph Sneakers £85 from Marks & Spencer

River Island Grey Lace up Sneakers £50

River Island Black Nubuck Trainers £50

Topman Design Fluoro Trainers in Black & Pink

 I remember seeing these on the Topman Design runway months ago. They available for sale at Topman for £65. Running inspired shoes are making their way to the top of the fashion radar and the like of New Balance, Adidas and Nike are cashing in on the them.

Topman Denim Project Featuring Designs by Shaun Samson, Katie Eary, Oliver Spencer, Lou Dalton, Mark McNairy & Topman Design Available TODAY

Shaun Samson

Everything is right about the Shaun Samson denim jacket from the wash to the mesh detail at the back. The Mark McNairy and Topman design versions would've been nicer if their washes were lighter, giving it a sort of used feel. They look too new for my liking. My second favorite is the Lou Dalton piece...extremely gorg. Peep the full collection after the jump.
