Add Height! Let These Platform Shoes Give You a Boost During Concerts

When it comes to watching concerts and live performances, it’s not just a battle of securing tickets, it’s also a battle of making sure you’ll see your favourites clearly from your spot. If you’re the type who gets VIP tickets just to be as close to the stage as possible, you’ll be at a disadvantage if you’re lacking in height. But no worries! You can get yourself a pair of these platform shoes to give you an added boost without sacrificing comfort. Check them out.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Elevate High

Nike has taken their classic Air Jordans to the next level by introducing a taller cousin. The design looks like your typical high-cut shoes with the iconic brand logo, but the midsole is thicker for added height. To level up your casual fit, it’s available in three colour styles: Titanium/Sail/Dark Smoke Grey, Celestial Gold/White/Sail/Muslin, and Sail/Coconut Milk/Titanium.

adidas Bravada 2.0 Platform Shoes

Make the most of the classic feel of canvas with these platform shoes by Adidas. While thicker soles are known to give additional height, not all promise comfort. But this is what sets the brand apart because it features a Cloudfoam midsole that offers step-in comfort and superior cushioning, plus a rubber outsole that provides grip and a low-profile look. This style and design, however, only comes in two colours: Cloud White/Chalk White and Core Black/Cloud White.

Converse Run Star Hike

Think you have enough Chucks in your collection? Think again, as this Converse Run Star Hike can literally level up your casual look. It features the usual high-cut canvas that we love but with a thicker midsole and a sawtooth outsole for added style and traction. What’s more, the outer sole extends to the back to offer a unique design. Apart from black, you can also get this in brown, green, orange, and other colours.

Vans Old Skool Stackform Shoe

The Classic Slip-On Stackform is like the younger sibling of the original Vans slip-on silhouette but chunkier. It’s upgraded with a 34-millimetre platform height and finished with traditional elastic side accents, signature rubber waffle outsoles, and supportive padded collars to bring a new “Off The Wall” style to your concert OOTD. It’s also in slip-on style, so there’s no need to worry about shoelaces untying while you’re soaking in the moment.

Get this pair on their website. If you want other designs, the Stackform shoe is also available in Pig Suede/Sherpa Multi Color and Checkerboard Black/Classic White.

New Balance CT302

Here’s another classic for you! The New Balance CT302 is a unisex tennis shoe that follows the 1980s on-court model (CT300) but with a stacked-height midsole and an outsized take on the classic cup outsole design. It’s available in different colour styles — sea salt with shadow grey and team red, sea salt with dark juniper and cobalt, white with dark mercury and lilac chalk, and more — so you can pick one that matches your taste.

While New Balance has kicked out of the country earlier this April due to the expiration of their local importer and distributor contract, you can still order some of their shoes through sports shops like SUPERSPORTS or their official website (overseas shipping).
