If you fancy yourself a sneakerhead, we completely understand. The convenient footwear is great not only for sessions at the gym or your regular sweat-inducing exercises, they’re also ideal for off-duty days. Even in the office, if you’re among the lucky ones who are employed by businesses that do not have a rigid dress code. In the golden age of sneakers, which we are fortunate to witness, there are plenty of options that mix function with design. The most coveted designer brands have also dipped their toes into the game, making the sneakers scene more exciting.
Among these labels is the United Kingdom’s pride, Burberry. The quintessentially British brand boasts of a long legacy yet has remained relevant through the times, due in part to the classiness of its designs and the practicality of its items. With its sneakers, we see the brand moving forward but still injecting some of its timeless designs, striking a balance between the old and the new, if you will. To prove this, we’ve compiled some of their most striking sneakers. Fair warning, though: there’s going to be plenty of checks.
