With in-demand sneaker iterations being notoriously hard to get hold of and often coming with a high price tag, searching for more affordable alternatives is sometimes the way to go. Here, we’ve collated a selection of shoes which are lower in cost without compromising on all-important style.
adidas Gazelle Bold Pink Glow Womens + adidas Gazelle x Gucci Light Pink
Taking on a colourway comparable to the adidas Gazelle x Gucci Light Pink, the adidas Gazelle Bold Pink Glow Womens offers a more accessible take on the premium pair. Both featuring a gum rubber sole unit and classic branding, the two trainers both boast a soft pink base detailed with contrasting touches. With only slight elements setting them apart, the adidas Gazelle Bold Pink Glow Womens is a great pick if the adidas x Gucci collection is out of reach.
New Balance 327 Grey + Nike LDWaffle x Fragment Design x sacai Grey
A coveted collaboration which takes on a grey-hued design, the Nike LDWaffle x Fragment Design x sacai Grey sports similar aesthetics to the New Balance 327 Grey. Equally dressed in a muted colourway, this New Balance sneaker is made from a mixture of materials and provides a similar studded outsole. Both complete with clear branding, these two silhouettes are by no means identical but do offer the same minimalistic look.
adidas Ozweego Cloud White + Yeezy 500 Bone White
Crafted with the same streamlined shape, corresponding chunky midsoles and stylish versatility, the adidas Ozweego Cloud White is a great dupe for the sought-after Yeezy 500 Bone White model. Also offering a similar style of overlays, mesh bases and grippy rubber outsoles, these two silhouettes provide the same aesthetics at different price points.
Air Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe Womens + Air Jordan 1 High OG Chicago Lost And Found
Delivering two AJ1 designs alike in colourways, the Air Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe Womens presents a more affordable take on the iconic Air Jordan 1 High OG Chicago Lost And Found. The Air Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe Womens sports a more stripped-back look when compared to the ‘Lost And Found’ pair, but still offers the same bold aesthetics which makes it the perfect alternative when working with a lower budget.
New Balance 550 White Green + New Balance 500 x Aimé Leon Dore White Green
Both detailed with deep green hues, the New Balance 550 White Green and the New Balance 500 x Aimé Leon Dore White Green boast near identical designs. Forming part of the coveted collaboration that revised the 550 silhouette, the New Balance x ALD model takes on retro-inspired aesthetics. While the New Balance 550 White Green does offer a cleaner, more modern look, these two trainers are almost impossible to tell apart at first glance.
