Hot on the heels ( :( ) of yesterday’s footwear trend comes another big one for men’s fashion footwear this season. It seems that Retro Hi-Tops are back and looking as good as they ever have. I am not talking about the thin canvas Converse or Superga trainers right now, but the thick, full bodied, real men’s versions that were rocked back in the 90′s. More and more of the fashion conscious men I know are really into these right now, and I think it is a great look for any casual outfit.
I remember the days of me rolling round in my first pair of Reebok pumps, and later my Nike Air Force One’s. This is the type of trainer we are going to throwback to – something with a bit more substance and shape to them. The thicker versions are perfect for this season’s military or worker wear (check shirts etc.) looks and I think they add a lot of balance to outfits that incorporate skinny or slim fit jeans.
Remember you don’t necessarily have to go completely retro to get into the trend, you are just looking for something more substantial – a bit like a military or worker leather boot would be. Some people have understated style and so will be looking for classic colours as well. A mix would be great if you have the funds.
This time you will ideally look for retro styling – bold colour ways, old school classic trainer shapes, traditional brands like Nike/Adidas and even metallic materials. These will look great with any casual outfit and add some flair to it. You can wear them with worker/comfort jeans in order to keep width to the bottom half of your outfits or tuck your skinny jeans into them and leave them undone in order to balance out your bottom half.
In the end nearly everyone I know loves to buy a great pair of trainers, so get on board and add some retro styling to what is fast becoming this season’s must have casual shoe! Here are some of the best around right now.
Men’s Retro Hi-Tops
Urban Outfitters
Usually stock the more funky collection pieces from each brand so it’s a good place to start. Not many bright colour ways at the moment but some good examples of thicker hi-tops that would look great in your wardrobe this season.
Schuh
These have a ridiculous amount of styles and versions in at the moment. Some great styles from Nike, Adidas, Puma and Converse make the cut, but you really need to spend some time taking a look through because there are so so many and I tried to just do a good range of styles and colour ways below.
Oki-Ni High Fashion and Premium Designer Examples
High fashion has not left the trend behind either, check out some of the extraordinary versions below from Adidas, Clae, McQ, Veja and RAF Simons. These either feature extravagant cuts, premium suede/leather construction or just amazing colour combinations. These are for the real keen trainer investor.
Premium Versions
These premium designer versions are by Lavin, Goliath, Alexander McQueen, Creative Recreation and D&G. They are typically made with premium leather and the construction to the highest quality. True investment footwear that are top of the range – perfect for multiple seasons and years worth of use.

don’t like most of ‘em, i think the hip hop look with baggy jeans is clumpy and not stylish. The skinny jeans look is cooler.
some good choices there..i think you’ve missed the supra..vaiders and especially the tuf stuf black, as far as high tops go they are right up there
Yeah,
I work for Schuh and i msut say the Nike 6.0′s are sellign at a high rate – more so then the typical trainer brands. And to be fair its people wearing skinny jeans wearing the Nike’s then anyone else.
And they do pretty much look spot on, skinny jeans and some Nike 6.0′s are hot.
Zim – your right. Those purple (or patent grey) Supra’s are just awesome!
So truu… high tops definitely making a come back and they’re badder than ever. =) ii just found this website and so far – ii like!! ;-) Keep em coming.

Phew – it’s good to be back :-) Those Rick Owens are pure sex IMO…as are the ATO ones next to them…hmmmmmm, have been pondering getting a pair of those in black…actually, those Nikes above the Ricks Owens are nice too…hmmmmmm!
i dont like them very much. the chunky look makes your foot look extra large, when you really should make your foot look slim and small
does anyone have anymore information on the x hi converses from schuh…the link doesnt go to the actual product and i would like to know where to buy a pair…thankyoo
what are the hi tops on the main picture

thanks alot man :)
keep up the good work
Glad you asked about those hi tops! They’re nice aren’t they.
So offspring sell those exact ones – but only in a size 4 :-(
these high-tops are just awesome.. I just purchased a white one.. can you pls give us some colours and things to wear with them.. ?
I purchased a pair of Black leather/Grey Suede Air Jordan Hi tops a month ago from Size ? They are the comfiest traniers i have worn in a long time, much better than my New Balance or Addidas and look great both casual and formal.
A lot of these styles i found cut into you feet but the nikes i would thoroughly recommend to anyone investing in a pair for this winter.
Right if anyone dont know what these shoes are cus it dont really say above. They Are SUPRA SKYTOP WHITE thats what you have to type in ..:) Great post btw
Bit irrelevant, but what model are the white hi tops in the photo at the top? thanks
Zim is totally right the supra vaiders shouldve been there i think the pumas are not as chunky as the rest but they give variety to the whole bunch
Got a pair of Dsquared High-Tops recently, not featured here, but certainly worth a look..(*yes, a little pricey, but worth it)

I’m a big fan of these, but im not to keen on the chunky white sole. dilemma. im liking the classy higtops coming in this season though, zara are doing some nice ones.
I have a pair of the Supra Skytops in white, as in the picture, best pair of creps I ever bought, but have to be worn with skinnes of slim fit denim.
i’m really into trainers, and i must just say, you can’t buy anything worse than Nike 6.0. they just look fat and ugly IMO. for the look youre going for, skinny/slim jeans.. i’d go for Supras, you cant go wrong, and they come in all sorts of hieghts, but still keep the slimlined look you need if your rocking with skinny/slim jeans! but also, you cant go wrong with a quality nike dunk or something similar, as long as it’s not a 6.0 dunk, or a Nike SB dunk, as they can look quite fat, Mid cut especially!
what are the white shoes in the top picture , who makes them ? there probably the best ones on there , if someone could tell me please :)
what is the white shoe in the top picture on the red background?
oh nm
i found them ‘surpa skytops’
What are the white ones called?????? !!!!!!
I think the majority of the stuff is a little over the top, although guys like kanye west might dress themselves decently ankles up, the space boot thing seems retarded. Nike Air Royal or high Superga’s are the way to go.
