10 Must-Buy Streetwear Sneakers

Sneakers aren't just for the gym anymore; they're serious fashion statements. Nowhere is this truer than in the world of streetwear—a fashion world where sneakers are king.

Of course, streetwear is difficult to pin down. There are dozens of different streetwear styles ranging from rave culture-inspired offerings to sporty styles, to elegant urban aesthetics. There are also some indie designers out there redefining streetwear, so it is a constantly evolving fashion.

Regardless of the street style you rock, the right pair of sneakers can pull a look together. During the winter, sneakers are a must-have that will keep your feet warm and your outfit incredibly stylish.

If you're looking for this season's hottest streetwear sneakers, get ready to be thrilled. We found some of the most stylish lifestyle sneakers money can buy and put them all below for you to enjoy.

Love it or hate it, Gucci's brand has become one of the most coveted labels for upscale streetwear sneakers. This low-key low-top pair of sneakers are elegant, subtle, and work well with just about every type of outfit.

Another big name among streetwear sneakers is Nike—more specifically, their legendary Air Jordans line. This pair of Air Jordans 1's will have people turning their heads, admiring your taste in sneakers, and also wondering how you were able to score such a sweet pair.

Another famous line from Nike is the Air Force 1 series. Though the series is most popular among men who want to show their love for some upscale sneakers, ladies can still get in on the AF1 action if they so choose.

This particular sneaker style takes a low-top twist on classic Air Force 1 shoes. The end result is something that looks appropriate in a wide range of different settings—and remains fashionable enough to look perfectly at home in a casual fashion shoot.

Chuck Taylors are pretty much a staple in any alternative culture, and to a point, that also means that this is a sneaker brand that classifies as streetwear too. It'd be a crime not to include at least one pair of Converses.

The classic All Star Chuck Taylor design has managed to persist through decades for good reason. It works well in that "too cool for school" type of way, and remains a great choice for women and men alike.

If you tend to go towards the more avant-garde side of streetwear sneakers, you're probably already acquainted with YRU. This is one of the only sneaker brands to focus on rave culture and street culture.

Wearing platform sneakers is a fashion statement all its own, and platform wedge sneakers are a great way to turn standard streetwear sneakers into something way more elegant.
