The Art of Athleisure
Posted by Jones Bootmaker on
Athleisure:
A hybrid style of casual, comfortable clothes typically found at the gym (i.e. sneakers) adopted into your everyday rotations.
Athleisure champions a laidback approach to dressing – but don’t be fooled, the key to achieving sports-luxe lies in the quality of the pieces in your ensemble.
Summer sneakers crafted in the finest leathers and other materials will help you channel the sleek appeal of this low-effort, high impact style of dress.
Your old faithful kicks just not cutting it where the style stakes are concerned? Discover the game-changing women’s summer sneakers and men’s summer sneakers for the bright days ahead.
Hit the Ground
Athleisure to their core, running-inspired sneakers are a must-have if you’re looking to jump on this sleek style trend.
FOR HIM
The Skipton lace-up sneakers are our definitive retro-runners for men, constructed in the heartland of Portugal by master craftsmen.
Offering first-class comfort with every stride, this lace-up consists of a sports outsole and footbed with plenty of bounce, signed off with a protective heel guard.
Not to mention the soft recycled Pigo lining and Dry alive insole that will see you outstepping the summer heat all season long.
FOR HER
When it comes to finding an athletic lace-up that’s comfort and style conscious, there’s no competition.
Our artfully crafted Ellisa lace-up sneakers serve both, courtesy of springy underfoot cushioning and a flexible outsole.
Meanwhile the hybrid synthetic and leather upper combines to form heat-beating breathable sneakers ready and able to keep up with the demands of your summer diary. Need we say more?
Box Fresh
If you ask us, there are few things more satisfying than unboxing a brand-new pair of kicks. Unboxing white trainers? Sublime. Foundational for the week-in-week-out rotation, make sure you’ve got a pair of squeaky-clean white sneakers in your summer line-up.
For Him
Tokyo epitomises the ultra-clean white leather sneaker, a must-have for every gent's collection.
A summer staple to say the least, this lace-up pair is constructed from precision cut leathers, with twin-stitched seams, overlays, and perforation across the vamp.
Fully leather lined for a sports luxe look and feel, Tokyo is situated on a lightweight chunky sole that packs a sartorial punch.
Team effortlessly with tailoring for confident athletic flair, style for the weekend with a sleek sports jacket.

For Her
The search is over for the best sneakers to wear with summer dresses.
White summer sneakers will counterbalance even your most ‘out-there’ ensembles; we’re talking tiered dresses, silks, satins, frills, and florals.
The Aliyah sneakers keep it simple with their low profile, lace-up silhouette elevated by a few key details.
Style notes include leather lace loops in the place of more traditional eyelets and subtle snakeskin panelling up the sides.
AliyahBoldly Go...
Colourful sneakers present an opportunity to supplement your summer outfits with a quick dose of joy-inducing dopamine. Set the tone for the season with a pair of Padova in a paint box shade to suit your mood.
Padova is crafted from ultra-saturated grained leather in a striking low profile, signed off with a side zip, contrasting sole, and soft leather internals. Play up to their brilliance by pairing with a bold colour block outfit or make Padova a statement feature by opting for a neutral palette elsewhere.
Rise Above
The platform sneaker trend shows no signs of slowing down for 2022, and for good reason. Hard to beat when it comes to statement style, platform trainers demand spectators.
Ideal for the everyday and for summer events that require an elevated style (that also considers comfort an essential), flatform sneakers combine elegant structure with a playful edge.
Take the Alani for example. Situated on a chunky outsole that’s impossible to overlook, the statement-making Alani sneakers feature smooth leather uppers and internals to match.
The high-rebounding midsole makes Alani the champion of comfort-led ensembles. For a sun-loving look, team with sharp tailoring or a slip skirt to offset Alani’s exaggerated charm.
