“Alien Sneakers” Are The Raddest Shoes Right Now

by IMRAN JALAL  /   October 16, 2017

Here’s how you could describe the hottest sneakers aesthetic of the moment: Imagine your pair of sporty trainers mutated with some alien gene. The look is bulky and clunky with thick rubber soles and haphazard shoe uppers, while the colour combinations are a little off-kilter. Yet, these oddball proportions and design are what make the shoes such a hot commodity in fashion now. Because looking perfect is passe. Here, our picks of the most stylish pieces to own.

"Alien Sneakers" Are The Raddest Shoes Right Now
#1: Nubuck and mesh, price unavailable, Balenciaga

Meet the trainers that started the trend. Called the Triple S, Balenciaga’s star sneakers take their name from the triple-layered design of the soles which are made of moulds of basketball court shoes, running shoes, and track shoes.

 

#2: Polyester and calfskin, price unavailable, Sandro

Mustard + Aubergine = A deliciously weird but striking colour combination.

#3: Rubber and mesh, $1,240, Prada

Prada unveils a sleek futuristic take on the “alien” sneaker trend with this pair.

#4: Leather and mesh, $99.90, Mango

Not all “alien” sneakers have to fall under the ugly shoe category. This high street option is a more palatable take on the trend.

#5: Ponyhair and rubber, $299, Limited Edt
image

This Singapore special — a collaboration between sneaker specialist Limited Edt and designer SBTG —  is a kooky interpretation of the lion as a pair of sneakers.

#6: Rubber and fabric, $930, Stella McCartney

The soles of these trainers take their cues from the textures and look of rocks and stones.

#7: Emilio Pucci leather and rayon, US$525 (S$711), www.modaoperandi.com
image

This pretty hybrid style mashes up the design of ballet flats with sneakers.

#8: Vetements X Reebok leather and mesh, $1,210, www.matchesfashion.com
image

Could this trendy remake of Reebok’s classic InstaPump Fury trainers be the Darth Vader of sneakers?

#9: Acne Studios leather, suede and mesh, US$374.84 (US$508), www.net-a-porter.com

Give your all-white sneakers a sci-fi edge with this pair.
