The five biggest sneaker trends of 2021

Let's leave the ugly dad duo far behind this year? Are white sneakers still our all-time favorites? And are these it-sneakers or isolation still bloody hot or already not? Ready or not, with spring almost here, the sneaker season is on refresh and that means: new trends. Who are we saying goodbye to and who are we making room for? These are the five sneaker trends of 2021 according to trend watchers.

For your wishlist
Your it-bag is transforming into a shoe this coming season. Whether it's from Chanel, Loewe, Dior, Prada, or Balenciaga, with a bold logo on the side of your sneaker, you're more than good according to this trend.

Basketball-inspired
If it's not the cap, it's the shoes that we suddenly all wear. With Nike Dunks as the favorite, this sporty style is even for you if you're anything but sporty.

Running vibes
Who run the world? Runners. Although these sneakers may be a lot more technical than you're used to, the running shoe is definitely a case to think about again.

Retro style
According to Net-A-Porter, perhaps the biggest upcoming trend: retro sneakers. Think of sneakers inspired by the zeros like New Balance's 990 and the Balenciaga Tracks.

Vintage vibes
Preferably with a slightly yellowed sole and featuring some fake signs of use, it's the classic sneaker that is completely back after being away for quite some time (think the 1950s).
