Snobette Sneaker Awards 2015: Editor Selections

AdidasOriginalsSuperstarWhiteBlack

January 1, 2016.

We close out the Snobette Sneaker Awards 2015 with the combined picks of Snobette editors Lois Sakany and Samia Grand Pierre.

We had a tough time choosing and ended up with a three way tie for the No. 1 shoe. For sure, it was a break out year for Adidas. Another great thing about 2015 is that three of our top three shoes were designed by women: Rihanna, Melody Ehsani and Tory Burch. We can only hope that trend continues in 2016, as sneaker brands recognize the unique/fresh perspective women can bring to the design table.

Top 5 Sneakers 2015:
1. Adidas Originals Superstar: White/Black (tie)
1. Adidas Originals Yeezy Boost 350: Oxford Tan (tie)
1. Puma x Rihanna Creeper: Oatmeal (tie)
2. Reebok Freestyle Hi x Melody Ehsani: Python
3. Tory Sport Pearl Slip On: Snow White

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
