It’s
official: we’ve reached peak Stan
Smith. Maybe you don’t care — they look great, they’re comfy, and if they’re good enough for Phoebe Philo and Kate
Moss, well, who are we to argue with that?

We’re
one of the first UK stockists of Rose Rankin sneakers. You probably haven’t heard of them, but that’s about to change —
they’re
already popping up in the fashion press, and the retro-inspired designs and
luxe fabrics have got where-did-you-get-those-shoes written all over them.
Irish-born Rose has been designing and
customising her own trainers for years, before making the decision to create
her own line of work-to-weekend trainers. Her bold designs are handmade in
Portugal from premium fabrics, mixing prints, colour pops and metallics, with a
comfy leather lining to put some spring in your step.

As well as looking amazing, Rose Rankin’s are great for autumn. They’re snazzy enough to brighten up cold, dark
mornings and the chunky sole is good when the weather’s bad. At £169, they’re a bit more spendy than Stan, but we
think they’re worth it — and once you’ve tried a pair, we reckon you will too.[CR]
