The off-duty update: High-top sneakers

Indulge your inner sneakerhead this season with a pair of street-smart high tops. The technical style first arrived on the sports scene in the ’60s when it became the go-to shoe for the world’s top basketball players – the distinctive silhouette was designed for maximum ankle support – and became the defining trainer of the ’80s. Almost forty years later, they’ve become the coolest kicks on the block once again. Dial-up the retro overtones by opting for Fendi’s logo-embellished versions, or Chloé and Nike’s stacked-sole designs.
