Without a doubt, over the past couple of years we have seen an aesthetic aesthetic trend which, although it has always been timeless, was not so closely linked to the world of sneakers. The color block, the aesthetic old money and the most "comfy" style have helped minimalism grow within streetwear… and also in the world of sneakers.
That’s why today we’re bringing you minimalist sneaker fans a selection of you can find at Newcop.
The best minimalist sneakers
If minimalism is known for anything, it is for its motto of “less is more”: simplicity, neutral tones, functionality and a minimal use of ornamentation. We can see this approach in the collections of luxury brands such as The Row, Loro Piana or Brunello Cucinelli. But we also—fortunately for us—find these characteristics in sneakers from Adidas, Nike or Puma
How to choose the perfect minimalist sneakers
What you’re looking for is quality materials, such as quality leather or soft suede, so that when you touch them you say, “okay, there’s quality here.” In terms of silhouette, nothing extra not too futuristic: classic is better, low-profile, pairing just as well with jeans or cargo pants that with tailored trousers.
The idea is for them to be comfortable and that have subtle details, such as fine stitching or nearly invisible logos.
Why choose basic sneakers
Betting on basic sneakers is, literally, always play to win . First, because they go with everything: you can wear them with jeans, a casual suit, tailored trousers... and you always look good.
What’s more, a good pair of minimalist sneakers are an investment: the years go by and they still look amazing; they are not slaves to passing trends.
And I’m not going to lie, there’s also a touch of quiet satisfaction watching everyone scramble to wear the latest hype while you stay calm and impeccable, without breaking a sweat. In the end, the basics done well are what never fails.
