7 Stylish Men’s Running Shoes That Look as Good as They Feel

By their nature, a pair of running shoes is a utilitarian item. They’re designed to be light, supportive, and comfortable.

For the style-conscious, running shoes aren’t the trendiest shoes under the sun. They tend to be gaudy and just not very pleasant to look at.

Thankfully, there are exceptions if you’re willing to look. Today, we’re going to dig into the world of running shoes to find a few pairs that are comfortable and stylish.

1. Nike Roshe One

Rather than go with complex graphics or crazy designs, Nike opted for a very low profile look with these sneakers. They’re available in four different colors, and all of them are simple. The Nike Roshe One sneakers are also reasonably priced at around $75, which is good for a running shoe from a high-quality brand like Nike.

2. Adidas Zx Flux

The Adidas Zx Flux is a gorgeous sneaker. They come in three simple color schemes, and personally, I’m a huge fan of the black on black. The subtlety makes them extremely stylish, and they’ll go with just about anything. Of course, they’re also a nice running shoe, so you can easily flip from style mode to active mode without changing your shoes.

3. Asics Dynaflyte 3

Generally, Asics isn’t a brand that’s associated with style, but the Dynaflyte 3 is a notable exception to that trend. Rather than an in-your-face logo that runs the length of the shoe, which is typical for the brand, these feature a low-key logo that actually blends into the rest of the sneaker. They’re available in a bunch of different colors, but if you’re worried about the style, you might want to stick with the red and black or the white and black models.

4. Altra Footwear Escalante 2

The Altra Footwear Escalante 2 is an extremely sexy sneaker for running while looking great. They’re a premium running shoe, so they come with a premium price tag. Of course, the tradeoff is that you’re getting a super-light sneaker that’s incredibly comfortable. Some of the colors are pretty ugly, but the low-key colors like the black and white will both look good with any outfit.

5. Adidas Ultra Boost

Who doesn’t love a pair of Adidas Ultra Boost sneakers? They’re extremely light, promising a sock-like fit that will let you stay light on your feet for long runs. And as soon as you stop running, you can rock this with just about any outfit and still look great. Just make sure to avoid the brighter color, as you might have a hard time matching them with your nonathletic outfits.

6. New Balance 860v10

Gone are the days of New Balance being considered dad’s shoes. The 247s are incredibly stylish lifestyle sneakers, and the company has made some fantastically stylish running shoes as well. The 860v10 is among the leaders in that category, as they’re not bulky, they don’t feature an overpowering New Balance logo, and they come in simple colors that will look good with regular clothes. The black and white ones are definitely the way to go if you want to look your best.

7. AllBirds Men’s Wool Runners

If you’re concerned about the environment and you want a good-looking running shoe that’ll perform for intense workouts, the AllBirds Wool Runners are exactly what you need. The sneakers are available in plenty of neutral colors, so you can pair them with jeans, chinos, or just about anything else you can imagine. AllBirds is all about having a low carbon footprint, so you don’t need to worry about the negative impact of these shoes on the world as a whole.

Run With Style

Just because you have a shoe that’s meant to be light and comfortable doesn’t mean you can’t have a shoe that looks good. These running shoes prove that you can run for hours and hours while still looking stylish. Grab yourself a pair and run towards looking your best.
