Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! Here’s the best thing – you can get them all on Shopee!
Our Recommendations
1. FILA DISRUPTOR II Leather Shoes ($208)
If you’re sick of basic white sneakers, you’ll want to give FILA’s update on the chunky ‘90s design of the original DISRUPTOR a go. Despite its chunky design, many users have commented that it gives a fun twist to any outfit, making your entire look more trendy and good. The thick soles of the DISRUPTOR II supposedly also adds approximately at least two inches to anybody’s height as well *Yay*. Besides design, the FILA DISRUPTOR II is apparently very comfortable, light on the feet and durable. Some consumers have commented that they’ve been wearing them for months and the sneakers still hold up pretty well.
FILA DISRUPTOR II Leather Shoes also come in Grey (for males) and Pink (for females).
2. FILA Heritage Ray Prism ($89.00)
Here’s another ugly dad shoe that’s making waves in the sneaker community. Although it looks similar to the former FILA DISRUPTOR II, there are distinct differences between the two sneakers – the holographic pink streak that runs along the shoe and the smooth midsole that’s both present in the Heritage Ray Prism. This sneaker is also said to have a much more fashion-forward design with a raised midsole and less chunky sole, and like the DISRUPTOR II, many users have also commented that the Heritage Ray Prism is comfortable and light, making it easy on the feet.
If you’re not a fan of the holographic streak, you can opt for the plain-looking FILA RAY sneakers ($188).
3. Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 “Inertia” ($500 – $560)
The Yeezy line needs no introduction but for our readers who are not sneakerheads, Adidas Yeezy is actually a collaboration between Adidas and American rapper, Kanye West. The very first sneaker was released way back in 2015 and it has made waves in the sneaker community ever since. “Inertia” is part of the Yeezy Season 8 lineup that was launched back in March 2019, and this particular colorway includes the original 700 upper and is primarily in a cool grey tone, but with subtle orange for contrast. The familiar chunky midsole that is synonymous with most of the Yeezy Boost 700 line is also designed with a full-length Boost cushioning for extreme comfort.
4. New Balance 990v5 Black Gray ($334.37)
New Balance’s 990 series is surely one of the most celebrated sneaker franchises of all time. It is said that this pair of kicks has a comfy insert that will get wearers through AM power walking.

5. Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 “Static”($890)
The Yeezy Boost 700 V2 “Static” is an upgrade of the original Wave Runner. This new edition showcases an understated colorway made up of soft, neutral shades.

The silhouette’s signature bulky midsole, finished in matching white, is supported underfoot by a black rubber outsole.

The Adidas UltraBOOST 4.0 was released back in December 2018 and this pair of sneakers can be used not just as a fashion statement but also exercise.

The casual look makes it difficult for any wearer to dress up with this.
7. Off-White x Nike Air Max 90 ($810- $1,185)
One of the most sought after sneakers in the market right now, the Off-White x Nike Air Max 90 is essentially the birth child of one of the hottest design labels now and Nike’s most iconic silhouettes. Designed with Virgil Abloh’s signature Off-White hang-tag around the laces, this pair of sneakers is not to be trifled with. Originally launched as part of “THE TEN” collection, the “Desert Ore” and “Black/White” colour schemes are said to be one of the last from Abloh and Nike for a while, and is available in both adults and kids sizes.
