Brandblack Aura

Although Brandblack doesn’t have the history of a Nike, New Balance or Fila, it does have a sneaker that can compete with the OGs. The Aura is the label’s answer to the dad shoe trend, and is completed with a Vibram outsole.

Zara Sneakers With Thick Soles

Zara got straight to the point in naming these sneakers. The shoes boast contrasting materials on the upper, and, of course, thick soles.

The fashion brand’s response to the trend is arguably the most popular of the moment. The Triple S, with a higher price point than its less expensive athletic label counterparts, is out now. But act fast if you want a pair, as they don’t sit long on retail shelves.
