Investing in designer goods is no small feat, which is one of the reasons why accessories have a strong claim on the luxury sector. With the trend leaning towards comfort, investing in a pair of designer sneakers has never been more of a no-brainer. Some iconic iterations have come to define this particular style of footwear, from MiuMiu's collaborations with New Balance, to Comme Des Garçons Play's continuous collaboration with Converse.

What designer sneakers should you invest in?

To find the right pair of designer sneakers, you need to identify your own priorities. Are you looking for a classic style with minimal detailing from one of the heritage houses, such as Prada's sleek 'Downtown' style, or a more casual take like Eytys' 'Santos' design? Or if you want a one-of-kind, look to the collaboration between designer labels and athletic brands, look to Miu Miu x New Balance or Jacquemus x Nike.

Below, we've gathered the 28 best designer sneakers to invest in now.
