Sneakers are becoming more than the summer footwear of choice for men. Athletic shoe manufacturers like Puma and Reebok now offer fashion-forward designs and trendy styles. Top designer brands Dolce & Gabanna, Christian Dior and Gucci expanded and developed their sneaker designs in response to the increasing preference and popularity of sneakers amongst their male clientele.
This fall, metallic sneakers are the hot! Expect to see a lot of guys sporting edgy and stylish pairs in the gym, at parties and specially in the clubs. But a word of caution for the guys, don't wear them everyday or every time you're out dancing with your posse. I say this because, you'll definitely get noticed and complimented wearing your new Gucci Metallic Gold sneaker, but don't expect the same response on the third consecutive Saturday night you've worn them. Try on different style pairings and looks that coordinates well with metallic sneakers. And you don't have to wear sneakers that are solid metallic. Sneakers with metallic details would work as well.

I like the Puma Biker Metal 5000 Sneaker.The influence can be seen in the use of pyramid studs on the upper and the same influence for the sole tread pattern. The 5000m profile is echoed in the sole profile and toe down view. All of these elements are combined with the quilted interior and oversized metal hardware on the upper gives this style an edgy and iconic look.
