One thing about working in fashion media is that you have the inside scoop on what editors are into for spring. As your resident shopping bestie, I'm here to tell you exactly what pieces media folk are hoping to get their hands on for spring and summer. Today, we are zeroing in on all things sneakers, and one brand has become a universal favorite among the fashion set over the last few years—Adidas.

Don't worry. I don't believe in gatekeeping, so below you can find specific styles that are trending and exactly which items to purchase of each. Are you in the mood for a unicolor way? Perhaps animal print is your speed, or blue, or a classic white sneaker? No matter your preference, there's something for everyone ahead.

Shop Trending Spring Adidas Styles for 2026

Adidas Tokyo

Adidas Tokyo sneakers had a huge year in 2025. However, new unique iterations of the viral sneaker have been popping up creating new Tokyo superfans.

Adidas Handball Spezial

While the most popular Handball Spezials have mostly been suede, fresh takes like predominantly leather outersole designs have breathed new life into this trendy sneaker's fan base.

Adidas Samba

Samabas are arguably responsible for the resurgence of low-profile sneakers. While the OG has become a staple in everyday wardrobes, the unique versions of this shoe have brought a new wave of style enthusiasts to the Samaba club. Check out the Samba Jane, Sambae, and new colorways of the OG ahead.

Adidas Gazelle

You can't go wrong with a pair of Gazelles and the signature gummy sole. Shop the latest arrivals, including a vibrant orange pair and more.

Adidas SL 72

Editors love the vintagey vibe of these sneakers. Personally, I wore these on vacation last year, and they were so comfortable yet cute. I think the cushy sole has a little something to do with this.
