High-top trainers: more support, more style
High-top trainers are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to combine functionality and fashion. Their high shaft, which extends over the ankle, provides more stability and protects the foot at the same time - a real advantage for active everyday looks or sporting activities such as basketball or skating.
In the fashion sector, luxurious high-top models have become particularly popular. Labels such as Balenciaga, Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent and Rick Owens are reinterpreting the classic design - with voluminous soles, eye-catching material mixes and sculptural silhouettes. Dolce & Gabbana and Giuseppe Zanotti also rely on glamorous details such as metallic finishes, embossing and logo applications.
Typical features of high-quality high-top trainers:
- Structured uppers made of leather, suede or tech materials
- Padded ankle areas
- Lacing systems with additional Velcro fastening or zip
In everyday life, high-tops are ideal for combining with baggy jeans, cargo trousers or jogging bottoms. For an exciting contrast, style-conscious combinations with tight-fitting trousers, blazers or feminine midi dresses are also recommended.
Different high-top trainers styles at a glance
High-top trainers come in many variations - depending on the material, design and purpose. You will find:
Classic high-tops: With plain canvas or leather and a minimalist silhouette. Ideal for everyday looks.
Sporty high-top trainers: With performance soles and high-tech details, perfect for the gym or streetball.
Designer high-top trainers: From brands such as Balenciaga, Rick Owens and Off-White - with avant-garde cuts and high-quality fabrics.
Premium brands rely on exclusive materials such as Italian calfskin, water-repellent high-tech fibres or vegetable-tanned leather. Recycled fabrics are also becoming increasingly important - especially in the luxury segment with sustainability requirements.
A plus point: many styles can also be styled with warm socks or high socks on colder days. So you're weatherproof on the go and still remain fashion-conscious.
How to combine high-top trainers in style
High-top trainers are surprisingly versatile and always add a touch of casualness to your look. The decisive factor is the model - depending on the material, colour and design, you can style them in a sporty, casual or even edgy way.
For an urban street style:
Wear leather or canvas high-top trainers with an oversized hoodie, wide cargo or baggy jeans. A layer with a trench coat or bomber jacket adds structure to the look.
For a clean, minimal look:
Go for monochrome styles in white, black or taupe. Combine them with slim-fit jeans, fine knitwear and structured coats.
For fashion-conscious contrasts:
Choose designer high-top trainers with chunky soles or futuristic designs. Style them with dresses, midi skirts or tailoring - such as suit trousers plus a cropped blazer.
In the colder months, you can also combine high-top trainers with thick socks or knitted socks. Layering looks with long coats, shorts or knitwear sets are particularly popular. With light-coloured models, make sure the look is colour-coordinated to create a harmonious style.
Another advantage: many designer styles are made to such a high standard that they are not only visually appealing, but also functional - breathable, robust and often weatherproof. This makes them year-round companions that fulfil both your fashion requirements and your comfort needs.
