Triple Black sneakers are an essential part of any wardrobe and to celebrate the release of our black on black tall hoodie we thought we would take a look at some of the best releases. Most people understand the importance of a simple monotone, black sneaker existing in their wardrobe. The shoe that goes with everything in all seasons (especially in Australia) provides us with an option that we can reach for without thought. The right triple black sneaker can elevate your look from ordinary to extraordinary and the sneakers below are the cream of the crop.
10) Nike Kaishi Triple Black
Affordability is an important part of streetwear. Not everyone prioritises the need for expensive sneakers. If being fly and staying with Nike whilst on a budget is important, the Nike Kaishi in triple black is the ultimate statement of affordable swag. Priced at $129.95, the Kaishi in triple black provides a unique sneaker with a solid all-round look that suits any casual occasion.
Pros: Cheap and relatively minimal.
Cons: Durability isn’t the best (older batch had a better, sleeker upper, but durability was even worse).
9) Y3 Qasa
From one end of the affordability spectrum to the other, the stylish aesthetic of the Y3 Qasa allows the baller in us to break necks everywhere. The high-fashion looks popular in modern sneakers are displayed to the max with a full neoprene upper and a tubular sole that symbolises the high end in more ways than one.
Pros: Really baller, in vogue look at the moment and well-built.
Cons: Expensive and not style neutral.
8) Air Max 1 Premium Tape Reflective Tiger
Slightly slept on, slightly edgy due to its Tiger Print 3M (which might even disqualify it). The reflective gives it a sleek look that would flow well with any outfit, enabling the men who desire an ode to the past to rock a sneaker that remains clean enough without worrying about chunkiness.
Pros: The Air Max 1 without distractions on the upper. Great blend of old and new.
Cons: Tiger 3M might be over the top for some. Still an Air Max sneaker, may lead to lad connotations.
7) Huaraches
Sure, they may have restocked a million times. Sure, they may be perceived to be played out. But there’s something about them, an intangible factor that makes them desirable in any fit. The shape is sharp and is the ultimate juxtaposition, providing more eye candy for the look and the man who prefers to let his clothes be in the background.
Pros: The one chunky sneaker that works with most outfits. Easy to cop and comfy af.
Cons: Relatively played out. Divisive sneaker and poor cage quality.
6) ZX Flux Triple Black
Adidas Fans who don’t want to dabble in Y3, we haven’t ignored you. The ZX Flux launched in 2013 with a bang. The elements pack, with 3 sneakers based in black launched the sneaker with a high level of hype. To the people who missed out, the standard triple black ZX Flux, available for under $100 provides a dynamic, modern sneaker that goes with just about any look.
Pros: A fresh blend of old and new. Works with everything.
Cons: Not necessarily the cleanest triple black sneaker. Upper could be slightly sleeker.
5) Ultra Boost Triple Black
For the people who prefer to elevate their sneaker game along with the cozy boys, the new triple black Ultra Boost is the best of both worlds. For the people who prioritise comfort along with looks, the Ultra Boost is the purest sneaker that looks great as an all-round triple black sneaker along with a decent price of $220 that is repaid by the comfort provided.
Pros: Most comfortable sneaker out there. Amazing silhouette.
Cons: Black boost isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as white boost. The mesh needs some contrast as primeknit weave doesn’t suit a murdered-out look
4) Common Projects Achilles Low Black
Sure, it might be too high fashion for some people, but the classic triple black minimal sneaker is legit the definition of elevating your sneaker game. Seeing the trend of celebs such as Justin Bieber and Tyga embrace high fashion in their streetwear fits has led to the rise in leather sneakers being considered streetwear. The absolute minimalism of CP’s lets the outfit do the talking and is a subtle flex too.
Pros: The most luxurious sneaker on the list. Timeless look.
Cons: Really expensive. May be not be ‘sneaker’ enough for some tastes.
3) Yeezy Boost 350 ‘Pirate Black’
The most divisive sneaker on the list. You either love it or hate it. However, the sneaker, worn by just about every single influencer, works really well with the whole longline / oversized aesthetic as you’ve no doubt seen on Kanye and co. Not just that, the technical side of the sneaker is amazing and primeknit + boost is a combination for success. Pair them with a black tall tee and bomber for a great look, that is if you can afford the ridiculous resale prices that legit ones fetch!
Pros: Definitely breaks the most necks. Technically great sneaker with high end looks and covered boost.
Cons: Divisive looks. Can be interpreted as too Roshe like.
2) Triple Black Presto
The sneaker that’s like a gateway drug for private school boys. The low stack height and the mean cage creates one of the finest triple black sneakers on the market. Finally, the neoprene ensures a shoe that can be beaten without worrying about if it can be cleaned. The look is legit perfection for the streetwear aesthetic and it won’t let you down.
Pros: Water resistant and really staunch, yet classic. Flows well with anything.
Cons: If worn with shorts, you need small calves. Unorthodox Sizing.
1) Triple Black NMD Pk R1
Don’t let the photo flash on the 3M trim fool you in to thinking these belong anywhere else on our triple black sneaker list. They’re the ultimate sneaker, sleek and modern enough to rock with just about anything. Yet also futuristic enough to create a statement on its own. The style of the NMD is edgy and unique. We recommend finishing off with a dynamic look such as layering or contrasting with one of our longline tees.
Pros: Again, primeknit + boost = comfort to the 10’s. Less polarising than the Yeezy, more casual than ultra boosts.
Cons: Lego bricks in boost.
