Sneaker Trend Guide to Elevate Your Style

Noughties Revival

In 2020, we’ll be reminded that the 20-year trend-cycle clock is still running perfectly on time. This is related to things that were done in the 2000s. In the last ten years, people have been nostalgic about the 1990s a lot. But now that we’re in the 1920s, people are starting to think about the 2000s. That day seemed like it would never come, but when loose pants and canvas belts came back into style last year, we knew it was almost here.

More proof of what’s to come in shoes is the recent comeback of styles from the early 2000s, like Nike’s Shox and those super-shiny mesh gym shoes we talked about earlier. Do you feel old yet?

Low Profile Sneaker Next

One more thing these trainers have in common is that they all look low-key. This style, called “LOW PROFILE,” has a sleek look that makes it stand out from chunky trainer shapes. The range of types is another thing that works well for the trend. There are retro running styles like the Adidas SL 72, as well as the standard indoor trainers with gum soles.

There is also Adidas Japan from the three-stripes brand, which was only made for women’s shoes before. But brands aren’t just looking for silhouettes from the 1970s and 1980s. They’re looking for designs from all times.

The style from the 1990s and 2000s is back, and of course, the trainers that go with it. In this case, Puma is ahead of the rest. A classic shoe from the 2000s, the Puma Speedcat got a retro makeover in 2024. The model’s unique shape comes from the fact that the sporty design was first thought up for race drivers. The Puma Speedcat low-profile trainer fits close to the foot, and the thin bottom makes it look great. The same company also makes the Puma Mostro.

The model came out in 1999 and is currently going through a second spring. It was inspired by spike models. With its well-known sole, the hybrid type is without a doubt one of the most unique low-top trainers out there.

Normcore Sneaker

This gets us to the first trend: many other brands have old models that are similar to this one and are now slowly putting them on the market. At first look, NORMCORE might sound a bit dull. Normcore people would rather fit in with others than stand out, which is what makes them unique. This word refers to a coolness that wants everything to be the same.

The Sneaker Trend isn’t really new in fashion, but the many classic trainer styles have given it a new boost and, most importantly, a new way of looking at things. There are a lot of sneaker brands that make styles that are great for this Normcore trend. There are a lot of great Normcore trainers out there, but the Puma Palermo, the Asics Skyhand OG, the Adidas Samba, and the Nike Killshot are some of the best. Their simple design and mix of materials make them great for wearing clothes that have a lot of different styles.

Hybrid Sneaker

These shoes will also be very popular in 2025, so use the keyword “HYBRID trainers.” There will be many different types of hybrid trainers, and some of them have already hit the shelves. A hybrid trainer is called a hybrid trainer because its upper and sole are both made from parts of other types.

This leads to exciting new sneaker shapes that perfectly capture the essence of each model and brand.

Terrace Styles

In the same way that Blokecore hit a new high point in 2024, the TERRACE culture is also coming back and becoming a sneaker style for 2025. Adidas can really cash in on this trend because they have a lot of great boot models to choose from.

Most people who wear Terrace trainers are English football fans who are sitting in the stands. We still don’t know if other brands will notice the trend and be able to cater to it with models from their own lines.

Banging Colors

The year 2025 will be all about BANGING colors for shoes. But this isn’t about making one model with as many colors as possible. It has more to do with drawing attention to a bright color and maybe contrasting it with another color.

You should start making your feet a little louder again, and from now on, the colors will stand out more.

Metallic Sneakers

METALLIC trainers are another shoe trend that will be popular in 2025. Many New Balance or Asics Y2K running shoes have at least some shiny details on them. On the other hand, there are trainers whose tops are made of shiny, metallic synthetic leather.

The Wales Bonner Adidas Samba Silver has caused a real stir, and other brands are slowly adding shoe models with uppers that look like metal. When we talk about Y2K, it’s important to note that some past performance trainers have made their way into the lifestyle market and become an important part of it.

Real Performance Sneakers

REAL PERFORMANCE trainers are the new style of shoes for 2025. In other words, trainers that were originally made for sports are slowly making their way into regular style. That’s right, something like the Adidas UltraBOOST will happen in 2025.

The sometimes very technical trainers will be worn with classy clothes and shown in a new way. The technical details, such as cushioning, are also popular features that are away from the competition.

Outdoor Sneakers

Another type of performance trainer that has moved into the leisure market is the outdoor trekking trainer. The newest style definitely includes these models, which are made for trips in the great outdoors. They look different from other trainers because of the way their outsides are made.

Gorpcore has a lot to do with the fact that outdoor trainers are now worn for other things and have a place in everyday life. The special design and their durability have also contributed to their success.

Fifty Shades of Beige

Are white sneakers out of fashion? No, Father. We can’t think of a time when they will be. That being said, there are probably more off-white options on the market this year. The colour scheme is earthy, with creams, browns, and olive greens that are easier on the eyes than white Box fresh shoes.

This colour trend can be seen on everything from simple trainers to retro sports shoes and trail shoes. You can wear it with any outfit, but it looks great with outdoor outfits and Cos-style floaty simplicity.

Take A Hike

It’s been a few years since the outdoors became so popular in fashion that it became cool to be useful and comfortable.

Since many of us have to go outside to meet and inside to work, clothes that are inspired by nature have never been more useful, comfortable, and stylish.

The Sneaker Trend We Can See Right Through

Our team writes about men’s fashion every day, but this new sneaker-related development even caught us off guard. See-through trainers were first seen in Virgil Abloh’s version of the Converse All Star and Nike’s React Element 87 in 2018. These were the first shoes that let everyone know what kind of socks you liked.

At the time, you could have been blamed for thinking it was just a gimmick. But now, two years later, there are a lot of fully see-through trainers on the market, and every month, more come out.

The new transparent shoe collaboration between Blondey McCoy and Adidas has gotten a lot of attention. But we’ve seen (or seen through) transparent Fila Disruptors, Nike Air Force 1s, and many more.

This trainer trend is only going to get bigger, for better or worse. If you have to follow suit, please wear socks.
