If you’re looking to add a triple-black style to your lineup, FN has rounded up nine looks from brands including Nike, Adidas and Puma that are great pickups.

Tips and Notes

  • Subtle color pops often provide a welcome contrast that helps the sneaker stand out.

  • The upper material will help you decide if they’re appropriate to wear (e.g., you may not wear a knit upper to a formal function, but leather may work for the event).
