The Thursday Buy: These Bruno Magli Sneakers are the Best Men’s Sneakers to Buy This Spring

Bruno Magli sneakers

A sleek, versatile pair of finely crafted suede sneakers for spring, my friends.

You see those Bruno Magli sneakers at the top of the page? Yes, those ones? My friends, those could be your new favorite sneakers for spring. In fact, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that once you try them out, you might come to the conclusion that they’re some of the best sneakers for men, made with all the quality of a pair of refined Bruno Magli dress shoes. You might recognize Bruno Magli from Shop By The Style Guide page or my guide to the best loafers to wear at home, but if not, let’s dive into how exactly this premium Italian footwear brand can make some of the best men’s sneakers for a new season without missing a beat.

The Bruno Magli Bono Suede Lace-Up Sneakers check all the right boxes as far as spring sneakers are concerned, from the low profile to the premium materials — and suede is a nice shot in the arm as far as seasonal texture and color is concerned, too. And hey, who out there doesn’t appreciate a great deal? Although these stylish suede sneakers retail for $298 at Bruno Magli, you can get a free pair of socks (made from premium materials in neat patterns) with any purchase of more than $100. So, that’s your new favorite sneakers for spring, plus your new favorite socks.

You can also get these sporty suede sneakers in a cool colorway like this handsome light blue option.

But it begs the question, why invest nearly $300 in a pair of men’s sneakers? Again, it all comes down to how Bruno Magli makes them. They’re using Italian full-grain leather and suede for the upper, plus sport-inspired contrast stitching for a bit of retro throwback style. That sleek, dressy-yet-casual look means these are sneakers you can with everything from light grey chinos to light wash jeans to olive lounge pants without missing a beat. The Bruno Magli Bono Suede Lace-Up Sneakers are also built with flexibility in mind for ease of wearing all day long.

You’re getting an ideal blend of comfort and style via the Italian-made construction, and the end result is a pair of men’s sneakers you can wear to the office or to hang out a patio bar this spring. Heck, if you wanted to wear these premium men’s sneakers with, say, a light grey cotton suit and a white Oxford shirt for breezy, dressy spring style, you could certainly do that. When you want the best men’s sneakers for spring, this is the pair to buy.

With so many of us working from home still, there are options aplenty when it comes to stylish footwear to wear at home, and if you feel like upping your game a little bit (think slim blue jeans and a tailored Oxford shirt on certain days), it’s hard to go wrong with some of the best men’s leather loafers to really complete your look. At least, that’s just my take.
