The Best Sneakers Seen On The Runway In 2021

Sneakers are known for their comfort and ease, these type of shoes have turned from a common shoe into a cool fashion choice. Sometimes, they are even the highlight of an outfit.

Although trainers are often one of the go-to shoe silhouettes in many of our wardrobes, we can also see them on the runways at fashion shows with a twist that turn them into more sophisticated pieces. Designers are constantly teaming up with household sneaker brands. This means that there are always a new pair and a new trend of these type of shoes around the corner. While sneakerheads are one of the reasons brands continue to launch out new models more rapidly, the global pandemic intensified the spotlight. So, even those who wouldn’t have considered the sporty shoe revealed interest, if not became a real user of sneakers.

We continue to see a ton of trainers on the runway and on social media, styled creatively with suits or dresses. So, with many options on the market – from chunky, to retro and pastel styles – customers, celebrities, and influencers are treating sneakers as a status symbol.

This season, we saw classic lace-up styles at Marni, sporty pairs at Dolce & Gabbana, slip-on pairs at Ferragamo and many other pairs that you will want to know!

With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out chic sneakers.
