Fashion is constantly evolving with new trends coming and going quickly. One way to keep up with the latest fads is by incorporating trending pieces into ones style. Sneakers are a great place to start. Many new sneaker trends feature innovative, timeless and eye-catching designs, accommodating diverse styles and personal preferences.
A major trend that began last year, and is continuing in 2025, is vibrant hues and unexpected color combinations. One prime example is Adidas Sambas. While they may seem like any ordinary shoe, Sambas are taken to the next level with their bold splashes of color and unique quality.
Sambas’ popularity rose rapidly in recent months due to celebrity promotions and social media influence, despite the fact that they have been around for decades. Sambas quickly became known due to an emphasis on retro and vintage styles. Since being originally introduced, Sambas have undergone functional updates and more color choices. Sambas come in a variety of colors, from light blues to hot pinks, and they are sure to brighten any outfit.
Another trendy shoe is the Adidas Campus. In contrast to Sambas, Campuses are more basic and heavy-looking. These shoes are made of timeless suede with a stiffer bottom. Campuses are a bulkier alternative to some of Adidas’ more basic sneakers and are the perfect day-to-day shoes to complete anyone’s style.
The next trend that has gone in and out of fashion in the last few years, but has come back recently is chunky sneakers. Chunky sneakers are distinguishable by their bulk and solid appearance. An example of this is the New Balance 530s. They have intricate fabric work with a trendy edge, despite having a reputation as “dad shoes,” associating their chunky appearance with a dad’s style. 530s are a go-to sneaker for everyday wear and have a balanced mix of sporty and effortless style, with a nostalgic retro vibe.
With the rising cost of shoes, it is important to purchase them wisely and make sure they can be worn with anything, as is the case with New Balance 550s. Due to their subtle colors with an occasional bold accent color, these shoes are a stylish mix of “classic charm and modern flair,” according to New Balance. Similar to Vejas, these shoes can be paired with any outfit. They are sleek and unlikely to go out of style due to their quality and extreme comfort.
Veja V-90s are another shoe with classic aspects to them. These shoes are made in a variety of colors, some neutral and some more vibrant. The great thing about Vejas is their potential to be dressed up or dressed down. They can elevate any look, or contribute to a relaxed, casual outfit. Veja V-90s have a retro twist to them, partly due to the timeless design and embrace of ‘90s athletic fashion.
With such a large variety of sneaker options, there is no one way to go. Depending on one’s fashion preferences, sneakers can serve as the highlight of an outfit, or a way to mix things up and experiment with new styles. Regardless, bold and chunky sneakers as well as timeless neutral ones are continuing to gain popularity, even as other fashion trends continue to shift.
