If your style is ‘punk/hipster/tattoos/piercings/beard/I don’t care but I actually do’ and you want a black sneaker that’s more high end than a CONVERSE/Vans, the Diesel Black Exposure is for you.
Diesel makes a very similar silhouette to the CONVERSE All-Star but with a shorter toe cap and with better quality. The biggest difference is fit.
How do Diesel sneakers fit compared to Chuck Taylor All-Stars?
Diesel’s All-Star-like sneakers have more rubber on the inside than Chucks; the shoes fit more snug and going up a size wouldn’t hurt. These are available in a low-top and a hi-top; available here for $135 USD.
