10 FALL AND WINTER SNEAKERS
TO SURVIVE THE SEASONS

In terms of fall and winter footwear, Our Legacy is better known for its fan-favorite Camion boots than sneakers, but the label’s Gabe sneaker deserves more attention. A Vibram sole and off-center lacing system offer a technical side to the luxury suede uppers and leather lining. This pair lives in the beautiful midground between form and function.

While you’ve undoubtedly seen your fair share of Salomons over the summer, the French brand really hits its stride in fall and winter. Bad weather finally puts defining features like the Contagrip® outsole and gorpy Quicklace™ closure to the test.

On the heels of the model’s second redesign at the hands of Aimé Leon Dore, it’s no stretch of the imagination to see the New Balance 860V2 having a Fall/Winter season to remember. This gray and silver colorway frames the lightweight build nicely.

For Balenciaga, the best fall and winter sneakers have chunky, treaded soles—and so the label dropped the chunkiest, most treaded sole in the game. Standing at 2.5 inches, this platform sole sneaker glides over puddles and unfavorable terrain while exuding buckets of Balenciaga drama.

Kiko Kostadinov’s highly original take on footwear is what put the designer on the map. Whether it’s in the form of sought-after ASICS collaborations or, more recently, in-house designs like the unmistakable Tonkin Strap sneakers, there’s no mistaking a Kiko kick.

South Korean powerhouse Andersson Bell connects with ASICS to bring a refreshing set of colorways to the in-demand GEL-SONOMA silhouette. A cushioned sole unit rounded out with a grippy, treaded outsole eats up uneven terrain while the earthy color palette aligns effortlessly with fall landscapes.

With the brand hailing from the snowy Alps, it’s no major surprise that Moncler’s first major foray into fall and winter footwear comes in the form of a GORE-TEX sneaker. The waterproof uppers are built on a robust Vibram Megagrip sole unit for full weatherproofing.

After the success of its Trail sneaker in recent seasons, Acne Studios riffs on the silhouette with a streamlined version. The black Signature sneakers are a nicely unimposing finishing touch to fall outfits. Taking inspiration from chunky outdoor designs, the silhouette retains a level of functionality despite its minimal sole.

GANNI is beginning to crack the fall and winter sneaker code; the Performance sneakers represent the label’s most successful sneaker yet. Features like the neoprene sock liner, bungee fastening, and rubberized uppers offer a clean, punchy visual identity.

At the hands of Joe Freshgoods, the already perfect for fall and winter 610 gets an even more seasonal finish. Browns and oranges combine in full, fall-ready effect. This pair is a nod to hiking styles of the ’80s with an intricately layered upper and lacing all the way to the toe.

Achilles Ion Gabriel’s stint as CAMPERLAB’s creative director has breathed new life into the Spanish imprint. Designs like the Tormenta perfectly illustrate the organic shapes and futuristic color palettes that have come to define the sublabel.
