This article discusses the rise of the luxury sports shoe. 

“It’s the reassurance of quality that sees many men turn to their favorite designers for off-duty footwear.”

“The high-top, basketball-style boot has been reworked repeatedly in high fashion circles over the past few years.”

Louboutin says, “A lot of men, myself included, buy trainers by instinct. They just can’t resist them and they don’t have to be in any way ‘useful’. I’m trying to inspire the same feeling with my men’s trainers that women have when they try on my skyscraper high heels. They should be thrilling.”
