Extravagance, with someone in mind.

Six statement sneakers for people with expensive taste.

You’ve passed over twelve perfectly nice things. Then you see it. A little extravagant. Beautifully strange. Entirely them.

You know someone with expensive taste. Perhaps it has very little to do with money. They’ll pass an entire shop window without slowing down, then spend twenty minutes examining a small, peculiar thing on the bottom shelf. They know what they like. Finding their Christmas present requires paying attention.

So we’ve gathered six pairs of sneakers for the magnificent entrance, the discerning eye, and the collector of beautiful oddities. Deep red flowers, curling snakes, elaborate feathers. Something to recognize them in.

The magnificent entrance

For the person who dresses for the evening they intend to have.

The invitation said drinks. They’ve interpreted it generously. A beautiful coat, something unexpected at their feet, and suddenly you’re glad you lit the candles.

At Christmas, theirs is the present you save until everyone is watching. You want to see what happens when someone finally surprises them.

Cherry Ornament Low Tops

Deep red flowers and curling ornament on cream, finished with white laces and soles. A pair for evenings that deserve a little ceremony.

They’ve booked the tickets. Dinner afterward is still being discussed. Give them these, and one part of the evening is already decided.

Snake Court Sneakers

Black panels meet intricate gold-toned snake artwork on white-soled court sneakers. A little intrigue goes with everything.

For someone who wears one remarkable thing and lets the room discover it. Halfway through dinner, somebody will lean across the table and ask where they found these.

The discerning eye

For the person who spots the exceptional thing before anyone finds the label.

At the auction preview, they’ve stopped in front of something you nearly walked past. They point out a detail. Then another. You came for a look. Now you have opinions about eighteenth-century ornament.

Their Christmas present is the one you start looking for first—and buy last.

Royal Crown Court Sneakers

Deep blue and ornate gold-toned artwork give these court sneakers a suitably grand disposition. They’ll notice the details. They always do.

For someone who turns a beautiful object over in their hands before saying anything. You’re looking forward to that small, approving nod.

Peacock Low Tops

Rich greens and gold-toned feather motifs spread across these low tops. For the person who pauses beneath a painted ceiling while everyone else follows the guide.

You remembered what made them stop and look. That’s where the gift began.

The collector of beautiful oddities

For the person whose most treasured things require a little explanation.

The owl came from a shop that was never open again. The painting was bought for the frame, though they’ve grown attached to the unsettling woman in it.

Every beautiful thing has a story. This Christmas, you’d like to be responsible for the next one.

Owl Court Sneakers

An owl sits among elaborate blue and gold-toned ornament on a white-soled court sneaker. A fitting addition to a life already populated by curious objects.

Expect them to examine the artwork closely, then disappear briefly to find the coat these belong with.

Renaissance Court Sneakers

Soft blue, cream, and ornate illustrated details give these court sneakers the air of something discovered in a quiet gallery.

For the person who remembers a painting years later but cannot quite recall the hotel. Give them something else worth remembering.
