The current obsession with sneakers has turned models' feet into one of the biggest focal points on the catwalk , often overshadowing the rest of the collection.
The following are some of the best sneakers seen in the Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collections from London, Milan, and Paris.
- AMI
- Astrid Andersen
- FENDI
AMI and Fendi embrace the chunky sole trend, but with very different styles. AMI opts for a clean design with a three-Velcro closure, while Fendi offers a "grandpa sneaker" look. Meanwhile, at Astrid Andersen, all models featured the new Nike Air Max 270.
- Louis Vuitton
- Maison Margiela
- MSGM
Kim Jones's final collection for Louis Vuitton was marked by oversized, luxurious hiking boots, but the designer's farewell also included a small selection of these sporty sneakers with robust soles . The sneakers from Maison Margiela and MSGM—which combine Velcro and laces with alpine flair—were also among the best.
- Off-White
- Stella McCartney
- Valentino
In general, sneakers for fall/winter 2018-2019 feature anti-cool and retro designs. Likewise, brands show a strong preference for the color white . Off-White's Nike Air Jordan 1s and Stella McCartney's "grandpa sneakers"—who is beginning to apply the great talent for footwear design showcased in her women's collections to her menswear line—and Valentino add that always-pleasing white accent to casual and smart looks.
