What sneakers will be popular in 2024?
The Miu Miu x New Balance suede 530 sneakers spotted on the brand’s S/S 24 runway are already one of the most talked-about upcoming sneaker drops of 2024. Reimagining the iconic style in a rich camel suede, the shoes point to a rising trend of leather-and-suede sneakers.
The rapper’s sneaker influence will face its biggest test yet in 2024, as we should finally see the retail emergence of his first all-new signature silhouette. The Y2K-style sneaker trend shows no signs of slowing down in 2024. Metallic sneakers are having a moment and Barbiecore is still going strong with plenty of pink sneaker options. Sustainable sneakers are by no means a new trend for 2024, but one that continues to range in colorways and technology for the eco-friendly girlies out there. Runners are the perfect mix of style and comfort. Variations of the still-unnamed model have popped up on Travis’ feet throughout the past year, following its on-foot debut at the Cannes Film Festival last May.
