We’ve finally made peace with the fact that Summer is over, and the need for autumn sneakers is here. If you’re an autumn/winter lover, then you’re most likely buzzing with this realisation, and to be honest, we can see where you’re coming from. There’s a lot of things to like about the colder seasons. There’s cosy evenings to look forward to, and pumpkin spice lattes… not to mention the excuse to buy new shoes. Big emphasis on the latter. If you’re ready to make the transition, keep reading for our coldest picks.

1. New Balance 2002R Ripstop Protection pack

1. New Balance 2002R Ripstop Protection pack Autumn Sneakers

Let’s kick it off with the New Balance Ripstop Protection Pack, dropping this Saturday (30th Sept). After the undeniable success of the New Balance 2002R silhouette, it makes total sense that the Boston-based brand is releasing three brand new colourways. Opting for neutral palettes, iterations ‘Navy’, ‘Black’ and ‘Cream’ follow a utilitarian aesthetic. There’s a few key differences between the classic 2002R and the Riptop Protection Pack that are worth noting. What once was a breathable mesh base is replaced with nylon, and overlays endure a rugged reimagining. A bungee lacing system completes the rustic trio, arriving in perfect time for autumn/winter.

2. Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 WB

2. Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 WB Autumn Sneakers

It’s the Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 WB – AKA, the Timberland boot and Nike Air Force 1’s long lost child. This rustic AF1 is the epitome of autumnal steeze. I mean, what’s not to love about a monochrome crisp nubuck upper and trail style laces? These kicks couldn’t possibly be more winter coded if they tried. As per the court-side heritage of the model, this Gum Light Brown iteration is equipped with full-length Nike Air unit offerings. In other words, the impact absorption is second-to-none. It goes without saying that these fall-coded kicks are a direct result of comfort and style.

Boasting a sleek all-black exterior, this collaborative endeavour takes the traditional workwear boot that we all know and love, and gives it a sophisticated reimagining.
