    Our Legacy’s ability to evolve in line with its customer is not to be underestimated. Grungy with a hint of sportswear, the Gabe sneaker has proven to be one of the Swedish brand’s boldest footwear creations to date, but as always, it remains highly wearable, with features like a Vibram sole for all-terrain comfort and technical support.

    While hoards still flock to Salomon’s XT-6 and XT-4 silhouettes, delving a little deeper into the brand’s catalog can garner some serious gems. Take the XT-Quest 2, for example, which Drake was spotted wearing courtside at a Raptors game a few months back.

    When Lanvin released the Curb sneaker at the beginning of 2021, it set the precedent for the return of the bulky skate shoe. With names like ERL walking similar styles down the FW23 runway, it’s clear that the appetite for such styles continues to grow.

    Reintroduced by Teddy Santis in 2020, the New Balance 550 and its high-top sibling, the 650, have gone on to become some of New Balance’s most popular designs. It’s yet more proof—if anyone even needed it—of the reigning supremacy of retro styles in the 2023 sneaker world.

    The ability of Marni creative director Francesco Risso to bring unexpected flavors to products knows no bounds. Somewhere between a plimsoll, sneaker, and formal shoe is the Pablo sneaker; the ideal choice for the indecisive.

    Few luxury houses have succeeded in asserting themselves in the sneaker world like Maison Margiela. This pair of MM6 Replicas offers up vintage sportswear aesthetics with twists like a crepe sole unit and raw edges throughout.

    No matter what the season, your rotation will benefit from a pair of Converse Chuck 70s. This rings particularly true when the colorway is a neutral brown that slots effortlessly into any color palette.
