When it comes to sneakers for the school yard, once youve adhered to the uniform requirements, you also want a pair thats durable and easy to clean. And, while mum and dad may not think so, they also have to be fly, helping you to stand out when dominating the playground. Here are a few all-black options that will assist you in getting through the school year.

Nike Air Huarache

A couple of years back, the kings and queens of the school rocked the all-black Nike Air Huarache. With its ultra-recognisable build, necks will break and eyes will dart as you walk through those front gates on the first day back.

adidas Samba

Sleek, sharp and, priced fairly, the adidas Samba never disappoints as an everyday beater. The black-on-black pair is easily integrated into any school-ready kit. And the contrasting Three Stripes, hell tab, and midsole will have your peers jealous of your classic sneaker game.

Nike Air Max 95

A murdered-out pair of Nike Air Max 95s will have you looking so fresh at school that even the teachers will appreciate the drip. Mostly readily available, the midsole Air unit will give you that extra support when freaking the four-square.


New Balance 992

Now here’s a school yard flex! A little on the pricier side of things, the ‘Triple Black’ New Balance 992 is the perfect addition to your recess regalia. Everyone from the students to the teachers will be double taking at your premium Made in USA pair. And you can guarantee that when the final bell goes for the day, all of the dads will be jealous of your understated swag.

Salomon XT-6

While Salomon are a hiking and trail brand, their sneakers have recently adorned the feet of the IYKYK cool crowd. They also happen to be the perfect all-black shoe for school! While its on-trend aesthetics are clear to all, the XT-6 also boasts high-quality construction, which means these are probably the most hard-wearing option on this list.
