Sneakers are getting a fashion refresh, from New Balance and Miu Miu’s collab to Pro-Keds’ relaunch
Blackpink and Reese Witherspoon are fans of stylish sneaker brand Autry, while Løci’s fans include Nicki Minaj and Leonardo DiCaprio
Recent market reports may suggest that a sneaker slowdown is on the horizon as trends swing back towards more formal dressing – but you wouldn’t know it from looking in shops and on the street. Decades after sneakers moved from courts and running tracks to catwalks, they remain a footwear essential, whether your look skews sporty, sophisticated or street.
As the category has grown, so have our choices. While luxury brands continue to debut new styles each season, vintage models from heritage labels are enjoying a renaissance – including UK-based Gola, which has become an “It” girl favourite. Plimsolls are also making a comeback, no doubt encouraged by classic American brand Pro-Keds’ highly anticipated relaunch last year.
