COVER STORY / 2021-03-10
Sneakers have been slowly taking over footwear in the past decade. What was once a shoe mainly worn by sports enthusiasts and school children, has turned into a full-blown modern-day fashion movement. Sneakers have seamlessly made their way into the fashion world – year after year, we’re seeing collaborations between sneaker brands and designers all over the place. From Reebok and Victoria Beckham to Nike and Dior, Sneakers aren’t just for working out anymore, people! They’re a major style must-have, approved by all your favorite retailers, brands and designers.
Of course, it’s likely you already have a pair of go-to sneakers in your wardrobe—but you can never go wrong with adding a few more. And once you feast your eyes upon all the 2021 sneaker trends, you’re going to want to shop each and every one. From futuristic vibes to fresh takes on vintage styles, there’s so much to love about these trends. Each 2021 sneaker trend is cute and comfortable at the same time, and they add up to endless street-style possibilities. These trends are ridiculously good, so go ahead and clear out your shoe shelves already.
1. The take-me-back-in-time sneaker
For modern interpretations of retro classics, consider earthy-toned lace-ups. Inspired by ’70s sneakers, they make for an elegant athleisure addition to the shoedrobe. We're obsessed with the new iteration of retro sneakers we've been seeing on the runways. Some brands have come up with styles of the tennis-shoe that have a brilliantly nostalgic old-school vibe. Wear them with track pants and a high-neck cardigan to nail the ‘preppy-chic’ look. The '70s are making a comeback and you should get your wishlists ready!
2. The sporty stars
When it comes to sneakers, there are styles that you can actually exercise in. You need to look as good on a run as you do on a rest day, after all. Adidas Originals continues to be a sporty sneaker brand, but many other brands today pose as strong contenders, producing forward-thinking, technically refined sneaker designs. Team them with stylish workout pieces and put them through their paces.
3. Elevated Sneakers
Platform sneakers are basically the only shoe trend that matters in 2021. Inarguably the flashiest, cultist of the bunch, these fashion-forward soles – loaded up with some extra chunkiness, are the swiftest way to level up any look.
4. Classic White
You can never go wrong with classic white sneakers, period. From movie celebrities to sports icons, fashion models, and Instagram influencers, this has been everyone’s go-to wardrobe staple for years now, and no one seems to be tired of it just yet. So, whenever you’re in doubt, take your white sneakers for a spin in 2021.
5. High top Sneakers
Sometimes, the higher the shoe the better, isn’t it? High-top sneakers are back with a bang. These street-smart classics throw it back in the best way, by adding a kick of cool to anything they come near.
