As more and more of us start to trickle back into the office post-pandemic, we thought it would be a great time to present some of our favorite office-ready sneakers.
Whether you're sitting at your cubicle from 9 to 5 or busy running from meeting to meeting, these sneakers not only offer the perfect aesthetic but are built with comfort in mind. Fit for a suit, slacks, a skirt or dress, or whatever else you wear to the office, these sneakers will not only complement, but elevate every outfit you wear from day to day.
We've searched high and low within the Stadium Goods shelves to bring you our best of the best when it comes to clean and versatile sneakers that no boss could say no to. Any of these 10 models are guaranteed to keep you looking and feeling good while you work.
The Nike Blazer Mid 77 starts our list of the best office sneakers. It’s a classic basketball silhouette, but also a perfect shoe for business casual wear. Debuting in the 1970s, this shoe has undergone many design improvements and remodels over the years, but the overall vibe of the sneaker remains the same. The leather or suede upper along with the fat-belly Swooshes and simple rubber soles continue to keep sneaker lovers coming back. The retro fit and durable build will make days at the office feel like a breeze, and the stylish silhouette will ensure you look good at your desk or office party.
Being one of the most iconic sneakers in the Nike arsenal with many different redesigns, collaborations and colorways through the years, this shoe originally made for running has evolved into being the perfect sneaker for casual and office wear. They feature an encapsulated Air unit in the heel that ensures comfort and the timeless design has made the Air Max 1 a go-to for many, whether at the office or on the streets.
This classic skate and lifestyle sneaker looks great with anything for a business-casual day at the office. The unisex design is perfect whether you’d like to dress it up with chinos, dress pants or a skirt, or keep it even more casual with jeans or shorts. The vast range of colorways ensures that there’s a style for everyone.
One of the most iconic and classic sneakers ever, the Converse Chuck Taylor is another go-to for office wear. The timeless style comes in an extensive amount of colors and patterns, making it easy to pair well with any type of outfit. A pair of Chucks is a no-brainer for almost any situation or outfit, and the office is no exception. Don’t like the high-top? Just go for the Chuck 70 Low instead.
Much like the Converse Chuck Taylor, the Stan Smith is a timeless and simple sneaker that can be worn in almost any situation. This is a classic staple for any sneaker collection, and a perfect option for the office.
The Nike Killshot 2 is extremely popular in menswear circles. Its classic silhouette pairs extraordinarily well with a multitude of styles from casual to dressed up. The large Nike Swoosh on each side makes the clean silhouette really stand out, while the simple panels of the leather upper keep it minimalistic and modern.
The Air Jordan 1 Mid is the perfect sneaker to go from running out of the office on a Friday to hanging out with friends. This versatile sneaker comes in endless colorways and pairs with any bottoms effortlessly.
This simplistic, contemporary sneaker is designed as a performance running shoe, but is loved by many for casual wear, as well. This includes a day on your feet at the office. The Ultra Boost will look good with any outfit you pair with it, and your feet will thank you for wearing a pair. Thanks to the cloud-like Boost foam cushioning and stretchy, sock-like Primeknit upper, they are extremely comfortable and breathable, as well as easy to slip on and off.
This stylish sneaker is a great staple piece for any office sneaker rotation. Its special design by fashion house Sacai presents a silhouette that combines the Nike LDV and Waffle Racer and features double tongues, shoelaces and Swooshes with a co-branded Nike x sacai logo on the heel tab. For those willing to go a little more bold at the office.
The New Balance 550 is not only aesthetically pleasing but comfortable, as well. This simple and clean sneaker is one of the most on-trend sneakers within the culture right now. Having a pair for the office will show your co-workers you know what’s up in the sneaker game, and ensure you're one of the most stylish people there.
