The Comeback Kicks Giving Us All the Feels

Now a cult collectable available in both men’s and women’s sizing, the original was track and field coach, and Nike co-founder, Bill Bowerman’s first masterpiece and became the most popular running shoe in the U.S.

The hero in Puma’s hall of fame, the timeless Suede Classic seems to never date. This understated yet iconic design has stood the test of time, from its ‘60s basketball roots to the ‘90s hip-hop scene . A favourite with breakdancers, it’s credited as the first shoe of “B-Boyism”. The ‘peacoat’ blue and white version is one you’ll wear with everything.

When looking for vintage heroes, you can’t go past adidas’ Campus. Featuring Originals’ signature 3-stripes design, the gritty unisex Campus range takes inspiration from its iconic 1970s styles. From the court to the street, the Campus sneaker is a heritage design that’s ingrained in urban culture.

Resurrected from the Puma archives, this silhouette dates back half a century. It’s easy to see why the laid-back ‘Basket’ pair was picked up by hip-hop icons – sealed with only a gold stamp, the all-black, all-leather version ticks all our boxes and is the upgrade our sweatpants need.

In 1974 the One Star was born, featuring the instantly identifiable solitary stellar emblem. Reissued in the early ‘90s, this Converse design was quickly adopted by street and skate culture. Today, it just keeps getting better, crafted with a cushioned insole and improved fit.

Named after the presidential aircraft, Air Force 1s were the sneaker to own in the ‘80s and ‘90s and today we love them all over again, from their chunky, walking-on-air soles to their high profile and signature Velcro fastening. Not just sweet aesthetics, the Nike Air technology revolutionised basketball for the game’s top players.

“An athletic take on a classic”, the 547 has been a winner on the streets since 1988, and features a sleek and recognisable profile, enhanced in comfort by performance cushioning. Contrasting, overlaid textures plus an all-navy upper makes a satisfying combination.

Wimbledon champ, Fred Perry knew a thing or two about sports footwear, and decades on, his designs are enduring. We can’t get enough of the Spencer’s Velcro-fastening triple straps for their throwback appeal and sheer ease, plus the pairing of a white leather upper with an off-white sole – retro perfection.
