Retro, minimalist and in vibrant tones: these are the sneakers that will be worn in 2024

Sneakers have become much more than just sports shoes. Their comfort allows you to wear them on many occasions in everyday life and that is why the fashion industry is focusing on this type of footwear. Stylists predict a 2024 marked by the return of legendary models and designs in bold colors that contrast with more sober and minimalist options. If you need new sneakers, pay attention to all the trends that will be popular this year.

Nostalgia continues to be a fundamental aspect for today's fashion. Until recently, exclusively sports models such as the Adidas Sambas, which were sold for the first time in the 50s, have conquered celebrities such as Kendall Jenner or Bella Hadid. Other retro sneakers that are making a comeback are the Nike Killshot, the Puma Super Liga… and also the Converse!

Silver has returned to the mainstream in style. Sneakers in metallic colors have become synonymous with informality that conquers urban fashion. Models like the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are now available in silver.

Thick soles and exaggerated platforms are having their best moment. More is more and, if you also like high-top sneakers, On Cloudmonster, Hoka Bondi 8 and APL Zipline are ideal options for you. Who said they were only for runners? The gorpcore style is also in style, with thick and colorful models inspired by hiking footwear.

Balletcore, coquette... Barbie's shadow is long. In 2024, the commitment to everything in pink is maintained, through sneakers with ribbon laces, rhinestones, textures and everything that we used to attribute to the female gender. These sneakers can be perfectly combined with dresses, skirts and thick white socks that will add simplicity to your look.

The bright colors of your sneakers are perfect for creating contrasts in your outfits. Burgundy, yellow or electric blue are safe bets this season. In fact, models like the Adidas Gazelle and the Nike Dunk Lows have achieved such popularity that they have sold out in minutes.

Sneakers made with materials such as suede, leather, vinyl or fabric have returned to the fore. Velcro and slip-on designs, like the Vans Old Skool, return this season to champion a commitment to comfort.
