We can never have enough of them and would like to collect them all. The new sneakers – mostly in chunky style and very bold – are perfect to start the autumn season in great style. The oversized look of Balenciaga with vintage effect craftsmanship and the now-famous detail of the size written on the tip, and those of Gucci with elements that recall the trekking world and rubber patches with SEGA logo font.

Welcome back to the ’80s. White but with neon details are the Run Away Pulse Canvas Monogram sneakers from Louis Vuitton (also inspired by trekking boots, see hooks and eyelets) with a grooved rubber sole. The new colour block design of Prada, enriched with the iconic logo strap on the upper (in suede leather and technical fabric) and colorful eyelets, while the Valentino Garavani Bounce, with a springy sole and VLTN logo engraved on the side, surprise for the special effects created on the hand-sprayed leather. Light and soft are instead the shoes signed by Marni, in technical fabric with profiles and mesh inserts in contrasting colors. The new Acronym® x Nike Air Presto Mid, launched in 2006, with bold colors and high-tech-inspired graphic patterns, have a shoe collar equipped with a zipper for easy on and off, while the classic mesh structure of the upper and midfoot improve the support offered by the 2000 Presto model. Maximum performance and absolute comfort are also ensured by the latest model with P.O.D. system from Adidas. The silhouette features a classic knit textile structure, reinforced by structural applications, with branded rear tongue and integrated three stripes. The revolutionary Point of Deflection system then combines a solid EVA on the forefoot and a comfortable Boost™ shape on the heel.
