Retro runner, terrace, or tech: Which style suits you?
Retro runners such as the New Balance 574 or the ASICS GEL-1130 are among the most comfortable everyday options. Their cushioned running-shoe silhouettes from the 1980s and 1990s work just as well with jeans as they do with joggers. Terrace models such as the Samba, Gazelle, and Spezial are flat, slim, and currently among the most popular sneakers around. Tech and trail models such as the Salomon XT-6 bring outdoor performance into everyday life. For a timeless option, classics such as the Air Force 1 or the Autry Medalist are always a solid choice.

Frequently asked questions about sneakers
Which sneakers are trending in 2026?
The most frequently purchased models at 43einhalb currently include terrace classics such as the adidas Samba and Gazelle, retro runners such as the New Balance 574 and ASICS GEL-1130, and tech-inspired models such as the Salomon XT-6 and New Balance 1906. Retro tennis silhouettes such as the Autry Medalist are also becoming increasingly popular.
How do sneakers fit, and which size should I order?
This depends on the brand and model. adidas terrace styles such as the Gazelle tend to fit relatively narrow, while New Balance and ASICS models are usually true to size. Autry sneakers generally run slightly large. You will find model-specific sizing advice on each product page. When in doubt, we recommend ordering your usual everyday size and going up half a size for narrower models.
How should I clean and care for my sneakers?
Clean smooth leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Suede and nubuck should only be cleaned dry using a suede brush. Mesh and textile uppers can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent, but should never be put in the washing machine. Apply a protective spray to new pairs before wearing them for the first time to help guard against moisture and stains. Suitable cleaning products, brushes, and protective sprays can be found under Cleaning & accessories.
Are the sneakers sold by 43einhalb authentic?
Yes, without exception. 43einhalb is an authorised retailer for every brand in our selection and sources each pair directly from the manufacturer or its official distributor – no resale stock and no replicas.
