Look, don't be mad (I’m a good person!), but I'm really not a ballet-flat gal. I know this may be hard to hear, and to be honest I don’t know what it is, because you know I love a flat. But even back in the day watching The Hills, I was the only person I knew not coveting those black ballerinas that Lauren would wear on repeat (an important early 2000s visual cue that she was *serious* about fashion).
I will say that the past couple of years, the rise of glove slippers and flat slingbacks have helped me find my way into the general vicinity of ballet flat adjacent styles—do they count? I think they count. But truth be told, I’m still not even half as excited about these as I am about this onslaught of chic spring sneakers that are already hitting the internet. All 2025's best sneaker trends are here: suede sneakers, red sneakers, slim vintage-inspired sneakers, plus pastels (I know, for spring?!), and some fresh-feeling animal print. From Adidas to Zara to Toteme, here are 41 pairs of sneakers I’d buy in a heartbeat.
As someone who owns, loves, and is continually asked about this colorway of the SL 72s, I'm thrilled to report that they're back in stock atReplica Store.
Also a great color combo.
Classics.
But also, the "Glam" edition—ruffle details, suede panels, and organza ribbon laces.
Pops of red are back—prepare accordingly.
These will make your Saturday-morning Pilates-then Trader Joe's legging outfits cooler.
For days when you want to be comfortable but also chic.
Suede-effect sneakers are a spring staple.
Speaking of suede.
If you're into the color palette but don't trust yourself with $700 shoes.
Such a good, rich, chocolaty brown.
Okay, H&M.
Editor favorites.
These Miu Miu sneakers are about to stage a full-scale assault on your Instagram feed.
Similar vibe?
On-sale and on-trend.
Here come the pastels!
This dusky mint green is where it's at.
There's about to be a lot of powder pink in the mix.
An even softer pink. Entry-level pink.
Speaking of wearing pink this spring, these burgundy sneakers with a soft pink sweater and [insert your favorite jeans or pants or skirt] is a no-brainer look you can rely on.
Love these for not quite being a leopard print.
Low-key.
Low-key and fancy.
On the other hand, poppy sneakers can be just the bit of weird your neutral look needs.
Love. (Also love the price.)
The colors work; don't ask why.
A little more muted, if you're still working up to it.
Also really into black sneakers as a very intentional-feeling neutral.
Tonal laces are a vibe.
Gum soles high enough to protect that fresh white leather from many a scuff.
Trust.
Wales Bonner collab styles are never in stock for long.
Speaking of Sambas, this retro navy blue is sending me.
Snake-print everything.
If you'd like to tell the world that you're down with the kids.
The second-to-last pair of red sneakers I'm going to show you.
She's not a regular mom; she's a cool mom.
Rag Bone's retro sneakers should be on your radar.
Spotted on Net-a-Porter.
Last ones! Promise.
