This is a Guest Post from Monsieur and Moi.
The sneaker game has kicked off in Australia over the past 2 years as many young males are moving from the more traditional skate shoe to sportier, and chunkier designs. In the fitness market, Nike are still dominating the scene with the Free run and Roche run. In the street style scene Asics, Nike, Reebox and New Balance sneakers are slowly integrating into everyday wear. Much of our street style is influenced by Britain, and this influence is usually funnelled into Melbourne, where new trends flourish and spread. At least there is where the sneaker trend has kicked off anyways. So when Man of Many asked us to make a pick of our favorite sneakers we happily obliged. Here are our top 10 sneakers. Enjoy.

#1The Ronnie Fieg and Clarks collaboration is a little out of the blue, but something special! Combining premium Nubuck with a pigskin toe and leather lining, going from gym to the street is easy.

New Balance – MRT580AD
#3This would have to be one of my favorite sneakers out there. I know it is a little boring. But I love the navy blue colour, and the typical New Balance design has an extremely retro aura about it.

#5After Nike’s first woven Roshe run was a bit of a disaster, this 2.0 model is something a little more acceptable. The open design will certainly keep you cool, particularly for summer, however don’t be surprised if they turn a few heads.
