Gentlemen, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. In 2026, are we seriously still debating whether men can wear pink? We thought that conversation had been put to rest ages ago \u2014 especially after the last FIFA World Cup treated us to an endless parade of neon-pink football boots. And yet, one glance at street-style photos tells a different story: out on the streets, men wearing pink shoes are still the exception rather than the rule.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news? Something tells me (or rather, the fresh arrivals at Courir do) that this collective hesitation is about to become a thing of the past. Here’s a closer look at five pairs, equally at home in men’s and women’s wardrobes, that prove pink might just be the hottest colour of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timberland<\/strong><\/a> : The legendary yellow boot gets a sweet pink makeover<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A monument of 1990s workwear<\/em> and hip-hop culture, this is one boot we thought would remain forever synonymous with camel-coloured leather. But Timberland’s<\/strong> famous 6-Inch Boot is breaking away from its original look with a bold pink makeover. Who decided that the arrival of autumn had to mean a depressing colour palette?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design retains all its signature DNA<\/strong>: a high-top silhouette, padded black collar, ultra-durable gold eyelets, signature leather tag and virtually indestructible lug sole. The only difference? A sweet pink upper that transforms this work boot into the centrepiece of any outfit. Timberland isn’t doing things by halves, offering the model up to size EU 46 in its men’s range. Following its highly coveted collaborations with Danish stylist Veneda Carter<\/strong> \u2014 who previously gave the boot a metallic silver makeover \u2014 the brand is confirming its fashion-forward direction. One existential question remains: would Notorious B.I.G<\/strong>., a devoted fan of the boots back in the day, have approved of this pink version? We’d like to think so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salomon XT-6<\/strong><\/a> : Technical performance takes a pastel turn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a permanent fixture on Courir’s shelves, the Annecy-based sportswear brand continues its conquest of the streets by expanding its colour palette. Gone are the days of colourways designed solely to blend into rocky terrain: Salomon<\/strong> is embracing decidedly softer shades, following on from its much-talked-about collaboration with Danish retailer Naked Copenhagen<\/strong> earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the streamlined silhouette of the ultimate gorpcore sneaker comes dressed in pale pink, cut through with sharply contrasting dark lines. The Gore-Tex branding on the forefoot is a reminder that this is still a waterproof performance powerhouse, while the black lug sole gives the whole design a strong foundation. Small pops of colour on the tongue complete a model rooted in the brand’s trail-running archives. It’s a foolproof way to embrace an ultra-technical aesthetic without looking like you’re heading out for a Sunday hike: the kind of sneaker that turns heads on the subway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saucony Progrid Omni 9<\/strong><\/a> : Y2K Style on overdrive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over at the American running specialists, the temptation of vibrant, candy-coloured shades is proving just as irresistible. Saucony<\/strong> takes the dad shoe trend and injects it with a serious burst of energy through its Progrid Omni 9<\/em>, straight out of the 2000s aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand reworks the mesh upper in a delicate pink, punctuated by neon accents and cleverly balanced with white, black and metallic-grey leather panels. It’s the ideal option for anyone looking to experiment with pink without committing to a head-to-toe look: the contrast with the silver detailing adds a technical edge that works every time with raw denim jeans or oversized cargo trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
