Although the year 2022 has only just begun, sneaker brands already had set to release or announced styles that will undoubtedly spruce up a shoe rack and hopefully, your mood as well in the coming months.
Not even a full-fledged sneakerhead can deny the appeal of high-quality design and the good-feeling sensation that a new pair of kicks can provide. In part because the best sneakers have a natural ability to radiate joy, something that we could all use a lot more of in these uncertain times.
Wearing the most stylish sneakers of the season is the most effective method to elevate your style for 2022. One of the best things about sneakers these days is that they may be worn with a suit during business hours to provide a pop of colour, and they are especially appropriate for wearing in informal outdoor settings. Walk on the opritten with confidence and style.
Briefly said, sneakers are the perfect combination of comfort, style, and functionality. They meet all of the requirements, including office attire. Despite the fact that sneakers were originally designed as athletic shoes for guys, they have evolved into a prominent fashionable style item for men. Multiple excellent alternatives available this season, include a variety of styles, from gym-ready trainers to product offers for the workplace and everything in between.
Air Force 1 Sneaker Created by Virgil Abloh (LOUIS VUITTON X NIKE)
Forever and always, Virgil Abloh will be remembered as a towering figure in the world of fashion. The designer and artistic director of Louis Vuitton men’s, who passed away in late 2021, introduced a sense of edge to premium clothes and elevated streetwear to a higher level of sophistication.
LV also released a Nike Air Force 1 made of calf leather that contains the brand’s Monogram and Damier patterns, as a way of paying tribute to him and his legacy. Two hundred pairs of the shoes were sold exclusively at a Sotheby’s auction, with a portion of the revenues going to the Virgil Abloh “Post-Modern” Scholarship Fund, which helps students of African, African American, and African origin further their studies.

Nike Air Jordan 1 “Rebellionaire” (AIR JORDAN)
If you believe it or not, there was a period in 1984 when Michael Jordan was actually prohibited from wearing his “Bred” Air Jordan 1s on the court due to the NBA’s dress code regulations. This year’s Air Jordan 1 “Rebellionaire” colourway, which is dressed in “Shadow” tones and embellished with the slogan “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” printed all over the shoe in reference to Michael Jordan’s famed 1985 sneaker ad, is a nod to that moment once again from Jordan Brand.
