Presumably, your sneaker wardrobe is stocked. But for moments when you’re looking for more fashion than function from your kicks, a designer style is fail-safe for an elevated effect.
Sleek color blocking, fanciful details (think: iridescent fabrics, leopard-print, or rhinestones), and chunky silhouettes currently prevail.
“Sneakers redefine luxury through comfort and good design,” says stylist and brand consultant, Meg Cuna, adding that it’s all about mixing aesthetics for a fresh and forward look.
“A sneaker needs to be a little unorthodox and futuristic to work with more classic pieces. Anything you would normally wear with a heel—like dresses, skirts, suits—replace with a good designer sneaker.”
Whether you pair yours with workout attire or prefer to offset jeans, dresses, and tailored pieces, below are 10 designer sneakers to shop now.
