Our take on the Onyx Platform High Top

The Onyx Platform High Top is a vegan canvas sneaker from Bangs with a 1.5-inch vulcanized rubber platform sole and a collar about an inch taller than the brand's standard high tops. Heavy canvas, aluminum eyelets, a reinforced heel counter and an EVA footbed round out a sturdy, casual build made in a family-owned Vietnamese factory. It suits shoppers who want a chunky platform high top without leather. Against plain canvas high tops it adds height and a taller ankle, but it is heavier and stiffer than low-profile rivals, and it has been discontinued.
