Does the thought of adding color to your workout wardrobe send shivers down your spine? Us too. An all-black look adds a certain power and edge to whatever we're doing. So, while we're all about black leggings and tanks, the look isn't complete without a pair of black sneakers. Whether you're going for a run, taking a class, or working out at the gym, these 16 pairs will help you go the distance.

If you like a supportive pair or a neutral ride, we've got you covered. There are all black pairs, and black and white pairs, but they all look great with a black full length legging. And hey, if you feel like wearing them post-workout too, so much the better.
