The world of sneakers is intriguing and alluring to say the least. There are consumers who are fervent fans of collecting kicks as well as fashion-forward purveyors who simply curate a rotation of sneakers each season that best complements their style. Regardless which category one might find themselves in, sneakers remain a wardrobe essential, a timeless footwear option that can be dressed up or down.
Muted colours seemed to be a focal point for brands this time of year, with many of the recent coveted designs being released in a blend of earthy beige tones. Adidas’s ongoing collaboration with English fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner sees the latest reiteration of the sambas in a harmonising blend of oat and walnut. Miu Miu and New Balance released pairs of denim distressed canvas sneakers that fall under the newest trendy style termed ‘librarian-core’, while The Row released sneakers in a sleek, streamlined silhouette that would go with just about any ensemble. For those looking to make a statement, opt for the Nike x Ambush SP sneakers or Onitsuka Tiger’s Mexico leather sneakers, both sure to be eye-catching conversation starters.
On the streets, it seems many fashion show attendees have caught on to the trendy kicks that are making waves. Trendsetters and fellow style mavens including the likes of Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have also been spotted parading about in Sambas and Salomons, nonetheless accompanied with an outfit fit that pairs together seamlessly.
