Nike Dunks are probably the most visible sneakers on today's city streets. They come in all materials, colors, and themes. Whatever you are looking for, click on the link below and scan for the best prices. You can't go wrong with Nike Dunk SBs!
2. Converse Chuck Taylors
Whether you like them high or low, Converse Chucks are one of the most visible sneakers around and an all-time favorite worldwide. These classic kicks are timeless and super versatile. If you do not feel like dropping a couple hundred on sneakers, a pair of Chucks is your safest bet. These will always be in style and you never really have to wait for new releases because every color imaginable is already out there if you look hard enough.
3. Vans Era Unisex
Steadily becoming one of the most prominent sneakers in the world are Vans. Yes, Vans are becoming more visible than Chuck Taylors, and in some countries, even Nike. The Vans Era or Core Classic is the most popular style on the global streets, followed by their basic slip-ons. No matter what model you dig, Vans sneakers are the most versatile and flexible kicks. Solid black Eras or checkered slip-ons are the most common. Find one to match your personality.
4. Air Jordans
Air Jordans are still the most popular signature sneaker, particularly amongst men. There are so many editions of this sneaker and they are all considered equally hot. The Nike Jordan is what put Nike on the map in the urban arena and crossed the line between athletic and casual sneakers.
5. Adidas Shelltoes
The original Adidas Superstar basketball shoes, also known as shell toes, were the first low tops with an all-leather upper. Shell toes were first made popular by hip-hop legends Run-DMC and have been a constant hit ever since. Pick up a pair for a fresh clean look.
6. Supra Skytop
Supras were one of the hottest sneakers of 2008. In one year's time, the supra reached across Europe and into Asia faster than the speed of a major competitor's private jet. Chad Muska was one of the first sneakerheads to offer a slim sneaker with a narrow toebox in a market dominated by chunkier styles and heavier models. The Skytop's extra heel and toe padding add comfort and protection, a gum rubber outsole gives more stick than an 80s glam band's hairspray, and wax laces allow you to form them into the shape of the Van Halen super-mullet. Don't like the Skytop, try the Supra Vaider.
7. Adidas Campus
The Campus was originally a basketball shoe that became a hip-hop phenomenon. Now this 80s classic is required footwear for any student of sneakerology. The Campus has supreme command of the streets in even countries like Israel, Switzerland, and France where urban culture scenes have been exploding. Adidas Gazelles are equally as good and visible in the same frequency.
8. Puma Suede Clydes
Timelessly cool, this low-cut sneaker features a soft, suede upper with perforated side and contrast line detail. I think it is safe to say that many sneaker fanatics first started collecting Puma Suedes in various colors before moving on to other brands.
9. DC Shoes Radar
What a perfect name for this shoe! I stood at the Los Angeles County Fair once and counted over 300 pairs of DC Shoes within half an hour! I'm not kidding. In Spain, DC Shoes is more prominent than any other American brand sneaker, next to Vans. There is no specific model that stands apart from the rest for it is the brand that dominates style, and no other brand has that ability like this one for some reason. People buy DC Shoes for the brand not what the sneaker looks like. Like ants, the shoes are EVERYWHERE. DC Shoes is the modern day Vision Streetwear, but with a larger and more durable empire.
