This type of outfit is a whole declaration of rebellion associated with movements like the goth, the teachwear or the underground and it requires good doses of minimalism and elegance. Therefore, choosing black sneakers for a total blacktop level is a task not without difficulty.
To make it easier for you to get it right, today at Newcop we’re going to introduce you to some of the models that are killing it and certain tips so you can get the most out of them.
What makes black sneakers perfect
Monochromatic designs are much more complex than they seem and it’s not enough to simply buy single-color sneakers, you have to consider aspects such as:
The structure: when the tone is always the same, the structure will carry all the weight in making a model more formal or disruptive.
The textures: The way brands use different materials usually makes the difference between an ordinary sneaker and a truly elite one.
The details: It is the small touches that give the sneakers their own personality, and if we want to guide our choice towards individual identity, it is very interesting to pay attention to the nods that each model makes.
Next, we present five models that meet these premises.
Air Jordan 3 Retro Black Cat
We love this Jordan model because it has many secrets, starting with its name. And it is that Black Cat is the nickname of legendary Michael Jordan. It has details like animal print patterns on the laces or the brand's logo printed on the tongue. Also, the combination of nubuck and patent leather gives it a special air.
Nike Hot Step 2 Drake NOCTA Black
If you are looking for black sneakers for a futuristic total black look, the Hot Step 2 Drake Nocta Black by Nike are a complete success. They fit perfectly in a dark look inspired by techwear thanks to its robust structure and metallic finishes, enhancing the impact of any garment that accompanies them.
UGG Lowmel Black
UGG is a brand with so much personality that at first glance we know we are looking at one of their designs. And among all their variety, there is also room for completely black models.
It is the case of the Lowmel Black that retain their comfort and aesthetic bases, but in dark tones, only broken by a slight gradient and some details on the laces.
We wanted to include them in this list because they put a twist on the traditional sneaker aesthetic.
Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black
And if we talk about designs that break the industry standards, those are the Yeezy ones, which are aimed at those who want to define themselves strongly. Their total black proposal are the Boost 350 Pirate Black, which only have a slight touch of color on the heel and the rest is made by their peculiar structure and the sole with Boost technology.
Adidas Forum Low Bad Bunny Back to School
And our last proposal is this collaboration between Bad Bunny and Adidas, that reinvents the Forum Low with a completely black aesthetic full of nuances.
If you notice, it keeps the three characteristic stripes of the brand, and the same style as the rest of the models in this line, but perfectly blended with the black color.
How to wear black sneakers with a total black look
And once you have chosen the black sneakers that you like the most, the next step is to choose which clothes you would pair them with. For this, we leave you this small guide that if you follow it, you will always get it right:

Adding layers, like an overshirt, vest, or technical jacket can make a difference.
