But actually, the true queen of black sneakers still remain Vans, and it’s all thanks to the iconic Old Skool style. This sleek pair taps a black upper, which flaunts white leather details and plain lines, further highlighted by white stitchings. More generally, every brand features at least one all-black iteration for every top-selling model on its catalogue; this happens for the Jordan 1 and for the Air Max - yep, all styles included. Because nothing beats the restraint of total-black.
