Sneaker Collaborations Have Hit an All-Time High in 2019

Calling All Sneakerheads: These Are the 10 Best Collaborations of the Year

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Having gone from shoes you could only wear at the gym to perfectly acceptable red carpet footwear options, there is no denying that sneakers are having a moment. In fact, chunky trainers have become so popular within the fashion world that more and more designers are partnering with sneaker brands, working together on chic designs and releasing new pieces at lightning speed. And while it might have been overwhelming at times, 2019 truly has been a particularly good year for sneaker collaborations.

Over the past few months, all these new drops might have forced us to make more space in our shoe closets, but between Victoria Beckham's stylish Fall/Winter collection with Reebok, Reformation's fresh take on New Balance sneakers, and the nostalgia-inducing K-Swiss x Clueless collaboration, there's no way we could have resisted. After all, if you've been tuning into street style, then you'll know that not only do sneakers go with pretty much everything — your favourite dresses included — they can also make or break an outfit.

So, if you're on the lookout for a new pair of sneakers, get a closer look at 2019's best collaborations and shop them for yourself before it's too late. They're so damn good, you'll be asking yourself what you've been waiting for all this time.
