The cold-weather months are finally upon us Northern Hemisphere-ers, and with that our entire wardrobe transitions to fall/winter-appropriate garb: hoodies, jackets, denim, scarves and the like. Being the hypebeasts that we are, however, it's footwear that takes precedence and sets the tone for any and every outfit.
Over the next five to six months, it's important for sneakerheads in colder climates to step out in a pair that can handle the unpredictability of the inclement weather that lies ahead. That includes water-resistant uppers, abrasion-resilient fabrics, rugged rubber outsoles, insulated liners and reflective detailing, all while being comfortable and stylish.
Following our recent look at the best vis-tech sneakers, we decided to round up our favorite cold-weather kicks that are currently available, or soon to be, and at retail pricing. Our list includes everything from New Balance 997s with CORDURA tech for a very reasonable $89 USD, to a $815 USD Off-White™ sneaker that flips the traditional trail runner on its toebox; from low-tops with low prices, to high-tops with higher prices, we've got you covered. Check out our choices below, then sound off in our comments with your seasonal go-to.
