ALL-BLACK SNEAKERS YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO TAKE OFF

The sneaker has enjoyed an upward trajectory from day one and is now considered more than just athletic performance wear—their journey off the courts and onto runways proves this much. Labels are now modifying the traditional athletic styles of yesteryear to diversify their reach, pairing them with casual attire, semi-formal looks, and more. The sleek, striking sophistication of all-black footwear, specifically, is hard to match, and designer brands are upping their game with this in mind.

All-black sneakers for women

For women, black designer sneakers offer an alternative to heels in the workplace and are a first choice for everyday wear. If celebrity stylists have proven anything, it’s that sneakers work well when matched with even the most extravagant dresses, showing that the classic style knows no bounds.

These luxury labels put their names on all-black sneakers, which, in turn, allows women to put their best foot forward.

Fendi

The all-black runners at Fendi are innovative and fierce.
