Keep your feet dry...
5. Jordan 1 University Blue
Nothing beats the beautiful snow-white landscape with a crispy blue sky. What better choice of sneaker than the incredible University Blue rendering of Nike’s beloved Air Jordan 1 High. Complementing the blue and white atmosphere, the sneaker is absolutely snow ready.
The high-top silhouette ensures that your feet remain warm, cozy, and protected from the icy cold. While Nike is typically not renowned for providing the best quality, this specific Jordan 1 has an insanely luxurious finish. Nubuck leather is waterproof, sturdy, and robust against temperature and snowflakes.
Many hyped silhouettes come and go, but the Jordan 1 High will always remain the ultimate classic sneaker, so the investment stretches further than just this winter season. Plus, it is a clean and objectively aesthetic colorway, being able to survive any wave of trends.
When university makes you feel blue, the University Blue will enhance even the darkest of winter days.

4. Balenciaga Triple S
While some may argue that the Triple S has seen its peaks in terms of hype, the shoe will always remain in the history books for changing the sneaker game for good. Blurring the lines between luxury and streetwear, introducing chunky dad-shoes for sneakerheads, protesting against the conventional bland luxury clothing – the Triple S did it all.
However, the sneaker is more than just crazy aesthetics. High-end calf leather and luxurious finished provide one of the sturdiest wearing experiences one can imagine. The thick, triple-stacked midsole (hence the name) protects you from the snow on your porch, while the robust upper maintains dry feet.
So while everybody sinks deep into the layers of snow, you will stay above it all, looking down on wet-feeted individuals who did not capture this opportunity.

Jordan 1 Mid Grey Camo
High-tops too high? Low-tops too low? Can’t go wrong with opting for the golden middle. This Jordan 1 Mid screams winter, and it will set you apart from the standard Timberlands and Nike Utility Boots.
The Jordan 1 Mid Grey Camo flawlessly exploits the monochromatic colour-palette, keeping it clean but adding exquisite touches of detail. The mid-top silhouette keeps you protected from the snow without being a bulky boot. Further, the tumbled leather upper provides a waterproof alternative to standard canvas sneakers, so you’re prepped for the coldest snow.
With the sneaker already blending in with the snow, the camouflage-swoosh adds that extra touch to keep you concealed from the Timberland-wearers you don’t want to talk to.
The Jordan 1 Mid Grey Camo is an absolutely underrated silhouette and a beautiful choice for your perfect winter sneaker.

Adidas Yeezy QNTM Basketball Frozen Blue
The name says it all. Freezing temperatures scream for frozen-ready shoes. This highly nonconformist, but crazily innovative sneaker from Kanye West’s Yeezy lineup might be the best sneaker for winter.
Even better if you’re into hooping, since this version of the QNTM is specifically engineered for basketball. The adjusted TPU cage combined with extra padding on the ankle collar will support your dunk-attempts and snow-walks alike.
The thick Boost midsole makes sure you remain above the snow-layers and – if necessary – can jump over puddles of melted ice. Further, the thick Primeknit upper synergizes with suede elements to keep you warm and comfortable throughout the cold days.
The design is futuristic and groundbreaking, a contrast from any winter boot you have ever seen. It might have taken some time to get used to the unconventional design, but combining it with a clean winter outfit will result in a perfect opportunity to flex in the snow!
