I'm Not Saying White Sneakers Are Out, But This Other Anti-Trend Pair Is Officially In for 2025
The debate between black and white sneakers continues to be a hot topic in sneaker culture. While white kicks are often seen as the classic symbol of clean and crisp style, black sneakers are becoming increasingly popular among fashion people, including celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence.
Recently, J.Law was spotted in New York City wearing black Loewe Ballet Runner 2.0 Sneakers. These shoes feature a sleek, minimalistic silhouette, luxurious craftsmanship, and a retro-inspired design, making them highly sought after by the style set. For a casual yet polished look, she paired them with a black beanie, a red scarf, a double-breasted wool coat, wide-leg pants, and red socks.

We're not saying white sneakers are out, but it's clear that black sneakers are definitely in for 2025—and for good reason. Black sneakers' sophisticated and subtle power adds an undeniable edge to any outfit. Plus, they are versatile, allowing for both understated and bold looks, and they seamlessly blend with casual and formal attire.
