If white sneakers are now well established in our wardrobes, they sometimes lack originality. After all, nothing looks more like a pair of white shoes than another pair of white shoes…
Regardless, some brands feature much bolder propositions in their collections throughout the year. So, if you want to add a touch of cheerfulness to your look, here is our selection of the most beautiful colorful sneakers of the season.
Mr. Moustache: an offbeat style, but not only that!
Watch out! At M. Moustache, some pairs are really very colorful. Perhaps too much… We nonetheless really like this brand, which we have already mentioned several times on Masculin.com.
Since 2012, Antoine Vigneron, Guillaume Alcan and Thibault Repelin have been having a great time offering quirky shoes… but not only that! Because alongside models like the low top Arthur shoes (our current favorite) and Maxence or the Gabriel running shoes, or even André, the Eugène ankle boots, the Alphonse derbies or even the Alexandre sneakers will appeal to men looking for more classic styles!
Faguo: the colorful sneakers
Is this a sign of maturity? Be that as it may, Faguo collections seem to have been mellowing in recent seasons, particularly in the sneakers department. But even if the color palette is less vibrant, the products are still just as interesting.
In this spring of 2024, Faguo unveils for example its Carbon Capture, presented as “the first sneakers designed from recycled CO2”. Always a pioneer in terms of fair fashion, the French brand continues to captivate us with its iconic Elm, available in a multitude of colours these past seasons. We particularly love the combination of khaki and terracotta on this pair made of recycled polyester, which stands out of course with its coconut button.
Hoff: the rising Spanish brand
Established in 2016, Hoff is a Spanish brand that is enjoying growing success in France. Its key word is simple: creativity. “We have become more than just a fashion brand – we are a canvas for creative souls to express themselves.”
From the stem to the sole, every pair of Hoff sneakers has the knack for drawing attention. Colorful, but without turning you into a clown, these shoes also invite you to travel with names such as Rimini, Cascais, Monte-Carlo, Texas, Wisconsin… Among all these models, the stopover in Portofino certainly does not lack charm, with its subtle blend of yellow, beige, orange, and green.
Panafrica: African inspiration and ethical fashion
Since its creation in 2015, Panafrica has remained true to its principles, its DNA. Its creators Hugues Didier and Vulfran de Richoufftz sought to combine a strong stylistic identity with a true ethical approach. This is how they design sneakers made from traditional African fabrics (printed wax).
Of course, the idea is not just to draw inspiration from African culture, but indeed to highlight local skills. The shoes are therefore made on the African continent, “in the workshop of Hicham and his father in Casablanca, Morocco”. As for the raw materials, they come particularly from Burkina Faso, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Even the names of the different models refer to a city, a region, a park or even a mountain in Africa. This is the case with this Arusha pair, which evokes a city in northern Tanzania.
Caval: the asymmetrical, it’s fantastic
Low or high, in summer as in winter, Caval sneakers have been among our favorites for some time now. And for those who read us regularly, you therefore know that what sets these French shoes apart is their asymmetric design. More concretely, the left shoe is not quite the same as its right counterpart…
This may surprise on paper, but the result is visually very successful, harmonious, complementary. This is particularly true with this pair of Lava Sunrise, “as light as foam and as comfortable as warm sand”. Made in Portugal with Lombardy leather, they are as pleasant to look at as they are to wear. And they are ideal to help you stand out from the crowd!
Of course, we could have just as easily included in this selection multiple versions of Nike or Jordan sneakers, or even the psychedelic Puma sneakers. But this time, we decided to focus on less popular brands, which really deserve to be known.
