With the end of September in sight and the weather beginning to change, transitional sneakers are fast becoming a staple of every wardrobe. Whether you’re looking to add comfort or embrace versatility, give your collection some extra mileage and opt for a shoe that can do both. From the Yeezy Boost 350 to the Air Jordan 1, here are the best transitional sneakers to see you from summer to autumn and beyond.
Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Slate
A pioneering silhouette from Ye’s long-standing partnership with adidas, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Slate is an everyday essential. Dressed in a neutral colour scheme, the flexible Primeknit upper and Boost-cushioned sole work together to deliver a comfortable fit. The black monofilament stripe, synonymous with the brand, sweeps across the side, keeping branding to a minimum for endless outfitting potential.
Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Black Canvas
A durable option for the changing seasons, the Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Black Canvas remasters the original basketball silhouette with a versatile black colourway. Built with canvas and suede overlays, the perforated side wall and breathable toe box maintain airflow to the foot, supported by Nike’s Air bubble for the ultimate comfort. Accented with Jordan’s Wings and Jumpman logo, this instantly recognisable sneaker is a non-negotiable must-have.
New Balance 550 White Nightwatch Green
The most in-demand silhouette of 2022, the New Balance 550 White Nightwatch Green is refreshed in an autumn-appropriate white, green and gold colour scheme. Arriving in a classic mesh and leather construction, this NB 550 is designed with a chunky frame and italicised branding for a vintage aesthetic. Comfy enough to wear all day, the textured tread underneath makes it a champion of fashion and function.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High Heirloom
For a classic sneaker with timeless appeal, opt for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Heirloom. Showcasing a classic high-top silhouette for extra coverage on cooler days, luxury meets legacy with an embossed Wings logo on the ankle collar and Vachetta Tan leather overlays. Underfoot, Jordan’s world-renowned cushioning delivers on comfort and support in equal measure, while a lace up fastening puts you in control of the fit.
Nike Dunk Low Grey Fog
Versatility is the name of the game with this pared-back addition to the Dunk collection: the Nike Dunk Low Grey Fog. Updating the ‘80s design with hits of grey and white, the premium leather fabric is easy to clean, making it a perfect option for the unpredictable weather. Fusing simplicity and high-quality craftsmanship, this Dunk iteration is a shoe you can wear anytime, anywhere.
