Sneaker Style Report | Paris Men's AW20

The indisputable hub of contemporary luxury, year after year, Paris ensures that it retains its status and rich cultural heritage of cutting edge fashion. The plateau of the menswear calendar, Paris Fashion Week delivers a truly eclectic blend of distinguished luxury brands and newcomers alike. The battleground of legendary design houses, Paris' streets fill each season with the best dressed patrons from around the world. Ensuring that their ensembles are complete with a flourish, sneaker style continues to reign supreme this season.

Presenting a streetwear flavoured selection, collaborations remained as popular as ever on the streets of the City of Love. Nike and Off-White's Dunk Low sneaker added a chunky slice of '00s style to the equation, while the two labels' Vapor Street sneaker opted to offer a twist of athletic prowess to the proceedings. Luxury houses were represented by Balenciaga and Rick Owens, with the Spanish label's now-iconic Track Sneaker appearing in a tactical all-black colourway. Owens' neo-Gothic twist on a sandal saw a platform outsole deliver a boost of his distinctive aesthetic sensibility, presenting his distinguished and instantly recognisable design codes.

Rounded off with technical models such as the Salomon Snowcross ADV LTD and ASICS x Affix Gel Kinsei Gore-Tex sneaker, Paris continues to sit at the forefront of progressive style, boasting a unrivalled combination of the cutting-edge and the luxurious.
