5 Sneaker Colours Celebrities Are Wearing Non-Stop This Year
Unlike most wardrobe staples, sneakers are in a category of their own. Originally designed as functional athletic footwear, the sporty-looking shoe now encompasses a range of styles. From simple, tactical designs to high-fashion designer options, and highly coveted collectibles, there are so many types and genres of the beloved footwear.
Lately, we've noticed colourful sneakers dominating the street-style scene, replacing the solid black, white, and gray styles that have been popular for the past several seasons. From rich, chocolate browns to radiant reds and yellows, the sneaker trends of 2024—and how they're being styled—are decidedly stylish. Plus, it's an easy way to add a pop of colour to any outfit.
Keep scrolling to check out the five sneaker colours we keep spotting on celebs this year, plus shoes to shop and a bit of styling inspiration, too. Whether you wear them with a mini dress or baggy jeans, one thing is for sure: colourful sneakers are a fun, fashion-forward addition to any outfit.
1. Chocolate
Michelle William's chocolate sneakers by The Row add a dose of casual cool to her neutral traveling ensemble.
Shop the Look:
Trousers are actually quite comfortable for travel days, and you'll arrive looking more polished.
Nike's classic Cortez style shares a similar shape and colour as The Row's runners but is made with more forgiving fabric.
Chocolate brown adds an element of chicness to the always-comfortable skater shoe.
2. Red
Leave it to EmRata to make us want to step out in a mini dress and bright red sneakers. It's a look that will make you do a double take without being the least bit risque.
Shop the Look:
There's no such thing as too many little black dresses; we love the look with sleek sneakers.
3. Yellow
Model off-duty looks are always on our radar, so when we spotted Adwoa Adobah wearing these bright yellow Onitsuka Tiger, we started taking notes.
Shop the Look:
If you haven't tried Onitsuka Tigers yet, here's your chance to dip a toe into the colourful sneaker trend and see what the brand is all about.
Look for a neutral-coloured cropped jacket to play off of the athletic look of the sneakers.
If you're game for bright colours, try out a pair with contrasting hues for added effect.
4. Burnt Sienna
Gigi Hadid's off-duty style is always ahead of the curve. We love how she styled these beautiful burnt sienna sneakers with a similarly coloured knit jacket and a bright, contrasting bag.
Shop the Look:
This Wales Bonner x Adidas collab is the fashion person sneaker of the season.
Another great pair of slouchy jeans that work well with a variety of shoe styles.
Keep it simple with jeans, or wear these sneakers with sweatpants to amp up a weekend look.
Asics' Gel-Kayano sneakers come in so many interesting colours. It's a good excuse to branch out beyond grey.
5. Neutrals Mix
Model Tina Kunakey demonstrates Wholesale Replica Bag iteration of the fashion person sneaker with a versatile neutral mix. Keep it simple with jeans and a white t-shirt, or try putting together a monochrome look for a more stylish take on the trend.
Shop the Look:
Adidas' OG Sambas routinely sell out, so if you see a pair in your size, act quickly.
If you haven't tried wearing trousers with sneakers yet, then you're missing out on an easy outfit recipe.
If you're looking for a specific colour combo, odds are New Balance makes it in at least one style.
