Featuring autumnal colourways to suit every style.

As we enter the second half of summer, it's time to look ahead to some of the best sneakers for fall so you can update your rotation in time for the start of the new season.

With such a varied lineup of sneaker brands to choose from, including the likes of Nike, adidas, and Converse, narrowing things down to just a handful of great autumn shoes isn't necessarily a simple task.

As we did with our list of the best sneakers for summer though, we've decided to focus our attention on some of the more recently released options available now which we feel are best suited to the cooler climate and seasonal colour palette.

So from some of the best Air Jordans around in these "Rush Orange" KOs , to some standout collaborations, like these END. x adidas Forum Lows, we've rounded up our top picks right here to help inspire your next sneaker purchase.

With that being said, here's our list of the best sneakers for this fall...

We feel these off-noir and pecan Air Force 1 Mids, often referred to as the "Certified Fresh" colourway, perfectly encapsulate what makes a good pair of sneakers for fall.

Firstly, the autumnal colour palette reflects the changing of summer as the sea of green plants and trees transitions into much darker shades of reds, yellows, and browns.

The sneakers also arrive with mid-cut collars that make them more closely linked to a pair of boots, which are typically the footwear of choice for many during the colder months of fall.

Ultimately, these "Certified Fresh" Mids look to be an excellent addition to almost any autumnal wardrobe from some of Nike's best Air Force 1s around.

adidas’ Forum model has gone through several colour schemes since its debut in 1984; however, we feel it's actually these “Varisty” Forums in collaboration with END. that best represent fall from the brand's most recent releases.

Like the Nike shoes above, these sneakers come dressed in a warm, autumnal colour scheme, combining off-white leather with red and mustard yellow stripes along the sidewalls to match the interior lining and outsoles.

On the topic of leather, their uppers should be rugged and resistant enough to withstand any potential rain which may arrive as the weather starts to cool down.

We’re also a big fan of the iconic X-ankle strap, which just adds another detail to the already fantastically designed END. x adidas Forum Lows.

When it comes to some of the best Jordan 1s available right now, these "Rush Orange" KO 1s stand out to us as some of the best for this year’s fall.

The design is often compared to the “Syracuse” Dunk Highs as they feature similar two-tone white and orange colour schemes. However, the difference with these Jordan 1s is they feature a combination of leather and canvas that should help them stand out on your feet.

To continue their slightly more unique aesthetic, Nike adapts the usual Wings insignia on the collars with “AJKO” branding to cement their special edition status.

With higher-cut collars as well, these sneakers should be ideal for the colder, darker evenings that come with the change of summer into fall.

If it’s a pair of top Converse sneakers you’re after this year, then these Barriers Pro Leather high-tops could be the shoes for you.

Made from brown suede, the colour scheme gives connotations of what were once green leaves falling to the ground and decaying, especially when combined with their unique yellow rope laces.

These sneakers don’t just feature a great colour scheme though, as the design has been inspired by The North Star, a 19th-century anti-slavery newspaper, which reflects Barriers’ efforts to educate with its statement-making fashion pieces.

On the whole, we feel there’s a lot to like about these Barriers Pro Leather high-tops that make them an ideal pick for your fall rotation.

The debut of these "Borealis" Spunge x Vans Authentics brought with it a great option for you to consider adding to your autumnal wardrobe.

Made from lightweight canvas cotton, the uppers arrive in a green, almost yellow-looking tone, contrasted by a blue hue.

However, it's the pattern which we feel makes these shoes feel particularly autumnal. The design is not unlike the lines you'd see in the centre of a tree stump, giving us connotations of nature that reflect the earth going into hibernation for the winter.

All in all, the "Borealis" Authentics from Salehe Bembury's Spunge label look to be some of the best Vans around right now to wear this fall.

With so many options to choose from, you may have a number of questions about what makes a good pair of sneakers for fall. Don't worry though, because we've answered some of the most common queries right here.

There’s not really a definitive answer to this question as it will vary depending on personal taste and style. That said, there are a few things which we believe make sneakers slightly better equipped for the change of season.

For example, you may be more inclined to opt for something that’s a little more resistant to rain, like a pair of leather sneakers, as the weather starts to cool down, especially as December starts to approach.

You may also find mid and high-tops to be slightly warmer to wear once temperatures start to drop as they cover more of your ankle, thus giving you an extra layer of protection against the elements.

We’re also a fan of sneakers dressed in warm tones like yellow, orange, and red during fall as they reflect the general colour palette of the surrounding environment; however, you don't necessarily have to stick to this colour scheme.

As touched on above, you may want to wear something a little more water-resistant than mesh sneakers in fall to help keep your feet dry once the rain starts to arrive.

However, fall isn't always the coldest of seasons, so there may be times when you need a pair of lightweight mesh or canvas sneakers for instance to keep your feet cool during warmer autumnal days.

Ultimately, it's your call as to whether you want to wear mesh sneakers during fall. Our only recommendation is to perhaps avoid wearing them during heavy downpours.

Generally speaking, you can pick up most sneakers directly through the website or in-person stores of the brands that make them.

However, if you arrive at the store and find out that the sneakers you're looking for are sold out, then we'd recommend checking out resale marketplaces like StockX or GOAT, both of which authenticate every purchase to ensure your second-hand pick-ups are legit.
