Sneaker shopping can be a seriously challenging task. We all want to make sure our kicks are stylish and make a statement — but we don't want to compromise on comfort or suffer from wet socks and crushed sneaker dreams when the rain starts pouring.

Well then, it's good news that everyone's favourite waterproof shoemaker Vessi has launched a brand-new product that ticks off all those boxes and more.

The Vessi Courtside Classic is your new go-to shoe that fuses next-level features into a vintage-inspired design.

Sounding too good to be true? Here are just a few reasons why the Courtside Classic is everything an everyday shoe should be — and why you'll want to upgrade your old sneakers ASAP.

Waterproof design

No matter where you take your Courtside Classic shoes, rest assured your toes will stay nice and dry. Rain, puddles, or an accidental spill of your water bottle are no match for Vessi's breathable knit Dyma-tex and 100 per cent waterproof technology. 

And because the Courtside Classic features a rubber midsole and outsole for excellent traction, you won't have to worry about slipping either.

Easy maintenance and care

Luckily, the Courtside Classic's clean and minimalist design is easy to care for.

Vegan leather highlights protect your Vessis from dust and are super easy to clean — simply wipe the dirt away and keep it moving. Non-marking soles mean you won't be leaving any mess behind either.

Inspired by the '90s

It's not just durable design features to talk about here. Vessi specifically crafted the Courtside Classic as a fresh take on '90s sneakers, meshing vintage-inspired styles for a sleek and effortless look.

Pops of subtle accent colours (in Black, Tidal, or Mahogany) add a bit of splash to your shoes while the classic off-white upper goes with every outfit in your closet. It's a classic for a reason!

All-day comfort

Need a shoe that goes the distance with you all day? You'll be able to stay on your feet with Courtside's ultra-comfy features. The padded collar and tongue provide an extra layer of cushion, and the tongue is also gusseted, which allows for flexibility and a better-fitting shoe.

With the launch of the Courtside Classic, Vessi is once again proving that high-tech shoes can be cute and stylish, adding a pop of personality to your wardrobe. And with fall just around the corner, it couldn't be a better time to upgrade your shoe game.
