Bored of white sneakers? Here’s 6 styles to change it up

Addicted to white sneakers? Yup, us too. The go-to shoe goes with just about any look, but spring is the perfect excuse to try a new style and refresh your favourite pair. After all, they’re probably not so white anymore…

Many members of the Adidas Originals family—Samba, Hamburg, Tobacco, Court, and Gazelle just to name a few— are having somewhat of a resurgence as of late, and even scored a collaboration with none other than Gucci.

If you don’t have a few hundreds to spare for the Adidas x Gucci collab, don’t fret: the Originals not only are a fraction of the price, but they’re also available in a wide array of colours.

New Balances are the new, hot declination of the “dad sneaker” trend. Just like with the Adidas Originals, there’s a wide range of models to pick and choose from: 990, 530, 408, 9060… the list goes on!

Style them with a cosy fleece, leggings, and tall white socks for a off-duty model vibe, or fully embrace the dad look with straight jeans or cargos.

Converse All Stars have been a wardrobe staple of mine since I was little (when I was around 10, I ended up having nine pairs of Converse, all in different colours… most of them were hand-me-downs, don’t judge).

This canvas high-top sneaker has survived decades of fast-paced trend cycles while continuing to add exciting new twists to the original style. Distressed or platform, flower print or vintage-inspired: All Stars are the perfect summer shoe, and a great way to add a pop of colour to your outfits.

Trekking shoes are shaping up to be one of the biggest sneaker trends of 2023. Brands like ASICS, Hoka, and Salomon have been sported by big celebs like Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski, who wear their trekking shoes with relaxed trousers, sheer maxi dresses, and long leather trench coats. Not to mention, this type of active shoe is literally meant to be as comfortable as possible, and also weather resistant. Do your feet a favour and jump on this trend!

A more colourful alternative to their monochrome cousin, the Air Force One, the Nike Dunk (either Hi or Low) is an ever-present staple in every sneakerhead’s shoe closet. Effortlessly cool and versatile, you’ll wear them all year round!

Let’s face it: chunky sneakers are here to stay. A long time has passed since the days of the Balenciaga Triple S, and now every designer brand sports their own declination of the iconic silhouette. It’s guaranteed that out there somewhere there’s a chunky sneaker to suit everyone’s fancy!
