With spring and summer approaching, it's time to update your sneaker collection — and that can be a pretty big task. A new season means new styles and trends, and it's often difficult to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of fashionable footwear.
That's where we come in. Whether it's dopamine dressing, designer collaborations, or dead-stock chic, we have the definitive list of this year's most stylish trends. One in particular that doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon is designer collaborations, mostly thanks to ongoing partnerships like Adidas/Stella McCartney and Nike/Sacai, which continue to add new colourways and textures to their collections each season. We're also seeing comebacks from tried-and-tested classics, such as Nike Dunks and Jordans — two silhouettes which seemingly have the potential to rival the Nike Air Force One (the unsung hero of British summertime) and become a staple in every trainer-lover's wardrobe.
After what can only be described as a bleak and grey winter, we're back to bold and bright colours for the spring/summer season — in more ways than one. Increasingly, we're seeing a rise in multidimensional colourways, whether that's through colours or materials. Mixing clashing colours, prints, and textures to amp up a look has never been more appropriate.
