Neil Barrett Navy High Top Sneaker

Nowadays there’s a LOT of choice on the sneaker/trainer front. Those of you who are looking for something a little different and want to express their personal style through a unique brand, have a lot of options at your disposal. We covered this a while back with our Underrated Sneaker Brands post, so if you don’t know, get to know.

Remember, for every one good style that comes along, there are about 10 other not-so-great ones. But every once in a while, just when you thought you’d seen it all, a random designer comes along, slaps you in your face and screams: “Wake up! Take notice bitch!”

Neil Barrett slapped us so hard in the face that we had to go for counselling. The fusion of blue on black with a mix of materials makes this sneaker gritty enough for the road, yet regal enough for a King. Damn.

Head straight to Foward Forward with your debit card ready. If you’re overdrawn, don’t worry about it. Take a deep breath and do what you know is necessary.

As Always,

Stay Stylish

Top 15 Underrated Sneaker Brands Part 3

Welcome back to the final post of this three-part special. This week we’ve got some real gems for you…

11. Supra

At the time of writing, I can safely say that Supra is no longer ‘underrated’, so this is a little bit of a cheat. But having said that, despite their global success, they still haven’t become a household name over these shores.

Their most iconic style is the Supra Vader (above left) a high top shoe with a large panel. The simple design enabled Supra to create many colourways and styles which have proven extremely popular over the last year.

Their new high top is fast becoming a much sought-after piece of footwear.

12. ALIFE

Alife is another brand based out of NYC. We rarely see them here in the UK but they really know how to create a great high top.

13. The Hundreds

Not notoriously known for producing footwear, ‘The Hundreds’ still came out strong with their Spring/Summer 09 collection.

A great change from Vans, their styles are awash with vibrant colours, helping bring a little LA to the UK. Perfect for our small bursts of summer sun.

14. Gourmet

Gourmet is a brand that takes is influences from Italian-American culture and mixing luxurious fabrics with sneakers is a risky business but these guys seem to effortlessly pull it off.

These are a mix between shoes/trainers with a fashionable twist, though however you want to label them, there’s no denying that these kicks will turn heads. Great for guys who want people to comment on their footwear and are looking for something a little different.

Website

15. FEIT

It’s funny that no-one else thought of a name like this for a footwear brand. Fiet are one of those labels that I stumbled upon whilst browsing the internet and took to immediately.

They say ‘all products are made using Specialized FEIT Komponentry to ensure highest possible standards‘. Exactly. And that can only mean a good thing…right?

Supra SKYTOP – Gold/Snake

We’ll admit it. We did initially want to showcase a product that ties in with Valentine’s Day, but after searching around we couldn’t find anything that deserved your valuable attention. So instead, this week’s Product of the Week comes from one of the hottest brands in the sneaker/trainer community.

Supra have been creating quite a fuss among footwear enthusiasts for a while now and it’s all because of their signature design, the ‘Supra Skytop’.

But that has been mainly occurring over in the States. Not any longer baby!

For the first time, you can safely pick up a pair of Supras over on these shores without having to buy them on a dodgy website, fearing your money will actually be going to this guy.

‘Offspring’, the trusted UK Footwear retailer, will be stocking their first designs, beginning with what you see above.

Trust us when we say these are going to BLOW. We’ve been waiting patiently for these and they have finally arrived. Just be aware that if we find ourselves in contention with anybody to grab the last pair, we don’t mind taking a life or two (possibly three), anyway, we’ve asked for forgiveness prior.

To avoid the confrontation pick up yours online here. Or to check out how to change the look of your trainers through laces (like in the pictures) click here.
