These Are the Sneakers Fashion People Will Wear This Summer
Whether you're a sneakerhead who builds their shopping around the latest drops or someone who only wears sneakers to the gym, there are some standout styles out there to have on your radar for summer. The popularity of Adidas Samba sneakers shows no sign of waning as the kicks continue to sell out in practically every colorway, meaning you can rest assured these cult shoes remain a good investment. The latest Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860V2 collaboration dropped earlier this year and is already one of the most in-demand sneakers for 2023. I predict it will be a top buy for summer.
Other sneaker styles on the rise include the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers in their vibrant golden yellow colorway, the Salomon XT-6 sneakers that are as hyped for having a great design and a high level of comfort, and the Adidas Gazelle sneakers that are selling out in vibrant shades such as bluebird, to name only a few. Keep scrolling for the summer sneakers you should consider adding to your cart this season.
These were considered classics decades ago, and they remain classics now.
Fashion people can't get enough of the Adidas x Wales Bonner collaboration sneakers.
