Black sneakers are an essential addition to the sneaker lineup, and the top player in the sneaker industry, Nike, does not lose opportunities to meet the consumer's demand.

Just like their counterpart, Triple White, black sneakers offer maximum versatility, and they make a statement with every outfit. Due to their vast styling options, they can be worn by men and women in different styles all year round.

What's more, Black sneakers are much easier to maintain than bright and fresh colorways, making them more convenient to wear. However, with multiple options, the quest to find all-black sneakers is no easy task. So, we have listed the best all-black shoes from the Swoosh label that you can buy in 2022.


Top 5 all-black sneakers from Nike to add in your wardrobe collection

1) Air Force 1 ’07 Triple Black

The first on the list is the most obvious, Nike Air Force 1 '07 in triple black. The triple black AF1 is just as important as Triple White, which has received a lot of love from the sneaker community. Bruce Kilgore designed the class triple-black low-top silhouette in 1982, and the shoe has received multiple colorways.

After the highly successful release of triple white, the swoosh label released triple black for those wanting an effortless and chic pair. The Swoosh label has put the option of triple-black sneakers in their customized "unlocked by you" program, where one can build a pair.

The shoe is available on the official e-commerce site of Nike SNKRS for a retail price of $110 all year long. In addition to the customized option, the label regularly keeps the triple black shoes in their rotation.
