Chunky 90s-Inspired Sneakers

These New Buffalo Sneakers Boast Bold Monochrome Looks

Consumers who are looking to add a little nostalgic flair to their wardrobes are likely to find the new Buffalo sneakers appealing, which are exclusively available at Browns locations within the UK.

Despite the fact that they aren't set to release until November 24th, the Buffalo sneakers already have a long waiting list, meaning that it's not likely that consumers will easily find them on store shelves until a few weeks after the initial launch.

The sneakers can be purchased in either all-white or black iterations, and can be found in both regular and high-top versions as well. Quality leather is primarily used for the construction of the uppers, which sit atop textured platform soles.
