In a growing society of people choosing to stand out rather than fit in, sneakers—now more than ever—are the perfect combination of form and functionality for everyday life. For male consumers, sneakers can hold an entire outfit together. And that’s great when looking to the fall season, which is arguably one of the most stylish seasons of the year.
Included in this fall 2023 list are leading companies in luxury and design such as Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Tom Ford, Off-White, and Amiri. Other names that sparked our interest come from smaller brands that offer some of the best examples of subtlety, simplicity, and detail in footwear. While these choices are great for fall, they can easily carry over to the start of the next season.

Christian Louboutin Astroloubi Sneakers
The newest shoe from the luxury, French footwear icon is completely outside the box and incredibly unique. Characterized by a chunky profile and paneled construction, the Astroloubi takes inspiration from the iconic style that came with basketball in the 1990s. Made in Italy from leather and breathable mesh, these statement sneakers are embellished with signature spikes. The multicolored leather and mesh make them the ideal addition to a neutral look that lacks a pop of color.

These beautiful light blue sneakers from Tom Ford make an immediate and lasting impression with their profile and design. The shoe is designed to feel and look retro with the smooth panels made in Italy and complementary tones of leather, suede, and nylon. The bottoms stand out the most, as they are set on stacked ‘counterweight’ soles that extend beyond the heels.
Not only does this give the shoe added dimension, but it makes any wearer appear more striking. These are quintessential for fall as they complement jeans, jean jackets, and other outerwear for the cold, breezy weather ahead of us.
