What makes a sneaker everyday-worthy
Three things: a low profile that works with trousers as well as jeans, a sole with real cushioning for eight-hour days, and a clean upper in black, white or brown that hides wear. Loud colourways and chunky soles look great in photos and get worn twice; the pairs below are built to be the shoe you reach for every morning without thinking.
