American sports shoe label Converse I have already introduced sneakers into my new collection Chuck Taylor 70 And Deck Star 67 with a round rubber toe and rubber sole with individual woven leather segments. In its turn Nike, has included at least 9 options in its line in different colors, with a leather design made with woven elements, ideal for jogging and casual walks on spring days.

2. Old school skate shoes
The wave of counterculture continues to capture the hearts of aesthetes who strive to look like skateboarders, but at the same time want to avoid the abrasions, broken bones and other injuries that accompany a professional skater.
Fortunately, the “chubby” sneakers Etnies and their other analogues are a thing of the past. In their place will be slightly less curvy, low-cut skate styles that are versatile enough to be wearable off the ramp, but are built to be tough enough to withstand abuse, making their appearance even more stylish. This spring, sneakers from Vans, Greats And Converse featuring a classic “old school” design.

3. Fashion sneakers and sneakers
It's no secret that fashion houses have shown considerable interest in sneakers and trainers over the past couple of years, in an attempt to take a piece of the pie in the sports footwear market. Every label tries to release at least a pair or two of expensive but undeniably stylish pairs that are justifiably overpriced. These shoes are ideal for a flexible lifestyle, effortlessly balancing between formal and sporty styles. Designers Raf Simons and Rick Owens have garnered rave reviews for their collaboration, but mainstays like Lanvin (arguably the progenitor of the current obsession with luxury sports shoes), the Italian manufacturer Koio Collective, Alexander McQueen and a respected London brand John Lobb contributed to the development of fashionable sports shoes for men.

Sneakers and sneakers became a real mainstream last year. They have changed not only in design, but also in purpose. Today, sneakers are not only light, comfortable and practical shoes in which you can go for a walk or play sports. But with the right combination with clothes, such shoes can even be worn to the office. This season, sneakers for men are also popular and particularly diverse. Designers from famous brands Adidas, Nike and Puma have developed models that you can wear not only to the gym, but also to parties and various presentations.
The world was literally blown up by a model of Adidas sneakers called “Yeezy Boost”. They were developed jointly with rapper Kanye West and are comfortable and soft. They are made not from ordinary leather or mesh, but from dense fabric similar to knitted. In addition, these sneakers have a very soft sole, so a person feels as if they are wearing socks. Today you can buy Yeezy Boost sneakers online. This model has been sold in stores for a long time and, by the way, is very popular. It is worth noting that such “knitted” sneakers can be worn both under sportswear and under a suit. You just need to choose the desired color (photo 1).
The woven shoe trend has seen a resurgence in 2016. Moreover, even sneakers are now produced with wicker inserts. For example, the new Converse collection includes the Deck Star 67 and Chuck Taylor 70 sneakers, which have a rubber sole, a round rubber toe and woven leather segments. The new line of sneakers from Nike also features woven elements. The company has released nine new versions of sneakers with different colors. They are ideal for walking and jogging (photo 2). 
Recently, even conservative shoe manufacturers for men have begun to produce sneakers. Of course, they are not very suitable for sports, but wearing such sneakers in the office is not a sin. For example, it is fashionable today to buy sneakers from New Balance and Grenson. They are made from high quality leather. When sewing, we use patterns and the brogue technique of our favorite “New Balance” (photo 3). 
Sneakers that resemble ordinary sneakers in appearance are also popular today. Such models are narrow and do not have unnecessary figure and relief. But they differ from classic sneakers in the sole, as well as in the absence of the characteristic rubber toe. In addition to men's sneakers, you can buy women's sneakers of the same type. Such models are suitable for lovers of hiking. You can even go to the mountains in them. Moreover, such shoes can be combined with any basic wardrobe (photo 4).
