Sneakers that are (still) the trend shoes for this spring
From nostalgic to vegan models, from luxury brands to emerging brands. These are the alternatives to the street style classics seen at the SS 23 fashion shows.
Season after season, year after year, the appointment with sneakers is renewed. They will also remain a constant in women's wardrobes in 2023, with women's shoe models alternating new shapes and designs with retro silhouettes and vintage lines. On the Spring-Summer 2023 fashion catwalks there was no lack of brands and stylists who favored sports shoes over heels, like Coach, which outfitted its models in 80s-style high-top sneakers.
Unique collaborations: Tiffany and Nike
The year 2022 was peppered with famous collaborations like that between Miu Miu and New Balance or that between Gucci and Off-White , just to name a few. And the trend continues. Among the most anticipated for 2023 is undoubtedly that of Nike x Tiffany & Co.
The Nike x Tiffany Air Force 1 1837 is crafted from premium black suede with a Tiffany Blue® Swoosh and an archival Tiffany logo on the tongue. A foam midsole, rubber outsole, and Tiffany Blue®-accented pivot points define the shoe, which comes with black rope laces as well as three pairs of Tiffany Blue®, yellow, and white flat laces. All Nike/Tiffany Air Force 1 1837 shoes come in a co-branded Tiffany Blue® box.
Cult models between nostalgia and absolute novelty
The nostalgic trend towards well-loved models from the past that are now back in the limelight is still in full swing. From the Converse All Star to the Onitsuka Tiger (perhaps in the yellow variant worn by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill), the list goes on. But it is mainly the Adidas brand that has benefited from this trend. After the Gazelle and the Stan Smith, this is Samba's finest hour.
Born in the 1950s as the ideal footwear for footballers, they have morphed over the years into a more street-ready and less technical variant. Exactly the one worn by trendsetters like Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner in recent months.
Eco-friendly trainers
Sustainable sneakers are not just a trend, but a real lifestyle that seems to be gaining ground more and more. Those who choose this type of shoes do not do so for aesthetic or stylistic reasons, but precisely for ethical reasons. Among the names that are depopulating in this area are those of Veja and Saucony.
The latest fully vegan and sustainable collection? The Saucony Originals mushroom leather sneaker, launched on April 22nd , Earth Day, as a testament to the company's values and commitment to sustainability.
The white minimalis sneaker
We've been wearing them forever and yet they're never boring, a real constant in our looks and in women's fashion collections. Season after season they reappear and we promptly respond with a new pair.
The Superga , with its low-cut ankle, smooth canvas upper and contrasting rubber sole, has even turned stars like Kate Middleton into fans.
The Designer:Inside edition
The race for the sneakers signed by the big luxury brands continues. Objects of designers' desire but more accessible to the general public, they are the ideal piece to declare one's belonging to a certain fashion clan, like the new Gucci GG sneakers . Pastel colors add a playful touch to the collection, lending a retro aesthetic to the classic silhouettes. This pair of sneakers features a mix of materials with a GG Cross print on the back. This is how your own style is expressed in no time at all. Here, too, you are spoiled for choice.
From the "gummy" and futuristic Givenchy models to the Valentino Garavani Toile Iconographe Totaloop inspired by the logo pattern. This is in fact the area where creativity prevails over the technical aspect and where designers can let their imaginations run wild. They experiment with new forms, colors and materials.
