When it comes to the sneakers fashion people are wearing this fall and winter, especially in the city, the best styles tend to balance form and function.
Enter Nike's Lahar Low ($140), a sneaker with a rugged silhouette inspired by the beloved 1989 Lahar Escape Boot. This modern take brings a utilitarian edge to everyday dressing. The all-black design pairs easily with everything from tailored trousers to relaxed denim, while rope laces and metal eyelets add a distinctly cool, sporty feel.
My favorite detail? The lug sole. Living in NYC, I encounter my fair share of puddles, so it's important to have a shoe that can handle whatever Mother Nature throws my way. If you're looking for a pair that feels current without being tied to a fleeting trend, take it from me: this is a sneaker worth knowing.
The ultimate daily digest for women of power, purpose, and style.
