The upper shoe part of this sneaker is designed from a combination of materials. The main material used in the design of this sneaker is patent leather. This material allows the shoe to provide one with what they need in terms of security and durability because it tends to be a bit thicker than the average material. In addition to this, the design of these sneakers has what it takes to provide one with long-lived user experience.

These are basketball shoes by nature. This means that they have a design that allows for a higher than average level of support to be provided to the ankle of the wearer. This means that, when used for the sport itself, they provide one with the functionality they would need to adequately make use of the shoe itself. If your ankles get broken, you won’t have to worry about strain with this pair.

These shoes aren’t that expensive, to be honest. Their price may be a bit higher than average but, when compared to the other models on this list, they come off as actually being affordable. With that being said, these shoes also make use of things that allow them to be highly functional. Despite being stylish, they can be worn to play basketball in.

If it weren’t for the addition of the TPU cage in the upper of this shoe, there would likely not be any type of security being felt by the wearer while these shoes were worn. The TPU material secures the foot by wrapping around it and limiting the sideways motion that one would likely experience while in these shoes.

This is one of those features that we tend to overlook for the simple fact that it’s just there. We don’t tend to notice the protective elements incorporated into the design of a shoe and what they provide us with. With that being said, the design of the Vapormax Plus makes use of various different features which work to give one what they need in terms of security when in use; the 3M lining is one of those things.

These shoes that are trending are definitely nowhere near cheap. Their price range makes them something that many would turn and around and completely disregard if seen. With that also being said, if you don’t mind spending a bit of money on a pair of sneakers, these may just be the right pair for you. With their use of Air Max technologies as well as the secure feel they provide, you couldn’t really go wrong with purchasing these shoes.

The EVA sockliner is a feature that’s typically overlooked in the design of the sneaker. The cool thing about the design of these shoes is that the sockliner is one of the main reasons they can provide any level of comfort to the foot. Since the outer portion of the sneaker is designed from canvas material, it makes sense for there to be something in place which cushions the inner portion of the shoe; the canvas won’t do it.

These are skate shoes; this means that they must provide one with some level of grip when worn. With that being said, the design of these sneakers allows one to easily stick to their boar during use; this is one of the redeeming qualities of vulcanized rubber.

These shoes are pretty pricey. They aren't the most expensive on our list, but they aren't something to buy without ding a little research first. Their lower price (compared to some on our list) makes them a much more attractive purchasing option than a shoe that is priced at a higher level; this is where some of that functionality stems from.

The Bootie construction of these basketball shoes does several things for the foot of the wearer. For starters, it allows the sneaker to give one what they might need in terms of stability; the lack of moving parts in the upper does a great job of keeping the foot secure. In addition to this, the bootie construction of the shoe also keeps the various other parts of the shoe hidden, such as the lacing system. This means that it’s much easier to keep the laces tied while using the shoes in a game.

This is, by design, a basketball shoe. This means that it’s built to provide one with what they need in terms of stability and support when used on the court. This is highly important considering the reasons the shoes are used in the first place. The ankle straps act as a way to secure one’s ankles to provide one with what they need in terms of security during a highspeed game of basketball on an actual court.

The best thing about these shoes isn’t the fact that they’re cool looking, nor is it the fact that they make use of technologies that keep the ankle (foot as a whole) secure. The thing that makes these shoes stand out is the fact that they are incredibly inexpensive. Seriously, the price on these bad boys is so low that the technologies incorporated simply have to pop.

Converse first got its start in 1908, over a century ago. The iconic Chuck Taylor style has been around since 1932 and has since then become a household name the world over. Converse has done many collaborations, from Dr. Seuss to Pride to Korean boyband BTS. The Chuck Taylor shoes were also prominent in Doctor Who and Back to The Future. The Doctor favored the red and cream colorways, though Converse shoes are offered in almost every color of the rainbow.

I love talking about the different technologies that go into high-quality shoes, and ortholite is a personal favorite. Ortholite is a lightweight and airy foam that is designed to support your feet and wicks moisture away from you. These insoles also have a compression rate of less than 5%, making them incredibly durable.

Prices will vary based on size and color, but these are right in line with the majority of products on this list. High-quality and stylish shoes often come with a price tag to match, so this is something you should be prepared for when it comes to fashion.

The 270 features a dual-density foam midsole aside; a cushioning feature that does a great job of complimenting the heel’s Air Max cushioning in the heel. In addition to this, the dual-density foam in the forefoot area supports the forefoot area of one’s foot rather nicely; these shoes feel amazing because they decided to add this material to its design.

This was already touched upon but, the design of these shoes does allow for an adequate level of comfort to be experienced in this region of the foot. Many already know this but, the heel is one of the trickiest areas of the shoe to “get right”. It’s hard to make it so that this part of the foot is adequately protected. With that being said, these shoes and their use of airpods in this area does a great job of adjusting to the pressure one might place in this area.

These shoes, being a relatively new release (as well as having various, higher quality fabrics) have a somewhat higher pricing point. This isn’t the worst thing in the world considering that they are relatively new as well as incredibly stylish. When it comes to lifestyle shoes, these are definitely up there. The value of this particular model of shoe is one

If you've ever seen a Coogi sweater and the multi-colored designs they’re likely to have, then you probably understand what their knit upper actually provides you. While they don’t have the interior design to match the knit exterior, they do still provide one with the custom look. It isn’t often that one finds a pair of shoes such as these with such an eccentric, yet fashionable design.

To make these shoes appear to be even more premium than they already do, the 2 collaborators decided it would be a good idea to give them an 18k gold emblem on the tongue. The use of this design aspect actually allows these shoes to give one a bit more style than they would otherwise have.

While the price of these premium sneakers may a bit higher than average, it’s actually pretty much worth it. The design of these Puma sneakers makes use of materials that allows them to be both stylish and comfortable while in use. Another very important thing to consider when looking at these shoes is the fact that they look absolutely amazing if worn with the right thing. This where their value stems from, their inherently stylish nature.

While it may not seem like the most important thing to mention that this shoe is designed to be incredibly lightweight, it is something that should be noted. The Epic React Flyknit has a design that allows them to literally feel almost weightless while on foot. The thing to make note of though, is the fact that they do aren’t the lightest shoe on the market; they weigh about 8.4 oz when on foot. The fact that they do have a bit more weight to their design yet still manages to be moved easily signals that the composition of the materials is above average; these shoes are amazing.

Flyknit isn’t your everyday run-of-the-mill material; this mesh is one that’s meant to provide one with what they need in terms of both breathability and comfort. Aside from the qualities inherent in the material, the Flyknit hide in these shoes also adds a level of style that, when compared to the style provided by other types of shoes, is simply above average.

When you initially look at the pricing point of these shoes, you may start to doubt your thoughts about purchasing them. The thing about doing that is that neglecting to purchase these Flyknit wonders would result in one being unable to partake in the features inherent in their design. The value provided by these Nike sneakers is due to both the Flyknit make and the fact that they are incredibly stylish.

While we-ve seen various airpod enhanced midsoles on this list, we haven’t come into contact with a midsole that made use of a full-length airpod in its design. The midsole of the Air Uptempo makes use of a full-length Airpod which basically makes it feel as if wearers, when wearing these shoes, are walking in a pair of clouds. They are just that comfortable.

These shoes are known for the comfort they provide to their wearers. This comfort is due to the fact that they make use of elastic elements all throughout their design. The elastic elements in the design of this shoe basically allow the shoe to stretch to meet the needs of wearers; this also means that break-in is no issue either. The area where this effect becomes the most prominent is likely the forefoot area; the material stretches to the size of the foot in this area.

The retail price of these sneakers when first purchased may appear to be expensive but, when really paid attention to isn’t. These sneakers and the various elements inherent in their design work wonders to give one what they need in terms of value also. Consider the fact that they make use of things such as full-length air midsole and what that means in terms of support and comfort. These shoes are intended to provide one with all they’d need in this area and quite easily at that.

While these are definitely some “fly” shoes, they have a design that allows them to be incredibly functional as well. These shoes have a thick rubber outsole that’s been fashioned with rubber grooves, allowing it to be incredibly functional. The pattern of the rubber in the outsole of these shoes allows them to provide one with what they need to effectively traverse whatever (developed) terrain they’re used on.

Air Max cushioning is considered to be an incredibly responsive and comfortable cushioning device. The use of this cushioning allows it to provide one with the comfort they’d need to reduce the fatigue that one’s underfoot experiences while their shoes are worn. If you’ve ever worn a pair of Air Max shoes, then you likely understand the comfort and bounce that they allow one to have.

These are not the most expensive pair of shoes featured on this list, which is a very good thing with all things considered. When the Air Max 98 is purchased, one receives a pair of shoes that can be worn as both running shoes and as a highly functional pair of casual wear sneakers. This is where the value of this particular model stems from its versatility and functionality.
