5 sneaker trends that will be popular in 2025

It is true that sneakers are a form of expressing your personal style, but here are a few trends you do not want to miss.

---

White Sneakers

In 2025, we are done with black sneakers. White sneakers are back in trend and we are all for it. The re-emergence of this style can be attributed to Stella McCartney and Gabriela Hearst's Spring / Summer 2025 collections. The models were wearing white fringed sneakers and white high-tops.

Some of our recommendations for white sneakers can be found on Bergdorf Goodman's website. The Loewe Flow Retro Runner Sneakers are available for $790, while the Chloe Lauren Low-Top Leather Sneakers are priced at $595.

High Tops

As mentioned, high tops are another sneaker trend that is going to be popular in 2025. In previous years, the high-tops were a popular style but with a wedge heel. Some of the high-fashion brands that brought back high-top sneakers this year are Dior, Loewe, and Stella McCartney during their runway shows.

If you want to hop on to the high-top bandwagon, we have this recommendation from Nike. The Air Jordan 1 Mid is a unisex sneaker and is available on Nike SNKRS US for $125. It is one of Nike's bestselling sneakers.

Another recommendation is the Stella McCartney Sneak-Elyse Platform Shoes which are available on the Stella McCartney website for $795.

Ballerina Sneakers

Remember how the coquette aesthetic was all the rage in 2024, we are taking some of that aesthetic in 2025 in the form of ballet flat-inspired sneakers. These sneakers are for those who prefer a more girly vibe for their footwear. One inspiration for this style includes Simone Rocha's Summer / Spring 2025 runway looks.

We have quite a few ballerina sneaker recommendations for you. Check them below:

• Happy Sad Lace Up Ballet Sneaker from Lazy Oaf - $150 (Limited stock)
• Simone Rocha Black Classic Buckle Tracker Ballerina Sneakers from Ssense - $614
• Miu Miu Leather Mary Jane Ballerina Sneakers from Bergdorf Goodman - $895

70s Themed Sneakers

Bright-colored kicks are back in 2025 as a part of the sneaker trend. While platform sneakers had their time in the spotlight a few years ago, now it is time for retro and thin-sole sneakers to come back in style.

A few of our recommendations are the Sporty & Rich x Adidas Originals, which are available on the Sporty & Rich website (3 colorways) and retail for $120. Another recommendation is the Miu Miu Plume sneakers that are available on the official Miu Miu website.

Suede Sneakers

Suede sneakers are not a new sneaker trend in the sneaker world. Several sneaker brands have always included suede materials in their uppers and overlays. But this year, suede is going to be a popular sneaker silhouette.

Have a look at some of the recent releases from Nike such as the Nike C1TY Shoes in the colorway Soft Pearl / Light Khaki / Lightning / Black. It is available on the Nike SNKRS website for $100. Another Nike suede sneaker you can get is the Nike Cortez Vintage Suede which retails for $100.
