Nike Faux Shearling Lined Dunk Hi
Another classic and sought-after style from Nike is its Dunk Hi. The sneaker, which became popular in the 1980s, comes in an all-black colorway with a leather upper and faux Sherpa fabric.
Supra Skytop
When this silhouette was first released, it was innovative and popular among sneakerheads and skateboarders alike. That has not changed. The high-top with a vulcanized sole is still a shoe of choice for tastemakers, with a retail price tag of $120.
Supra Skytop IV
Even classics often get updated. The Skytop IV is a more futuristic version of its predecessor, with an extra-tall tongue and hexagonal eyelets, and the brand’s SupraFoam midsole. The shoe retails for $140.
Creative Recreation Kaplan
The Kaplan is a low-top court style with a clean, sophisticated look. The quilted pattern on the shoe’s upper gives the silhouette an extra touch of class — for only $70.
