Summer dressing is all about fun and experimentation. It’s about trying new things and breaking out of the style comfort zone we’ve been stuck in through winter. As such, this is also the perfect time to usher in new options in the footwear department. Brands such as LOEWE, Maison Margiela and adidas Originals are driving the change, offering up anything from sportswear-inspired “it” sneakers to understated, more minimalist designs that are sure worth a spot in your rotation – discover five of our favourite pairs below.
01. The LOEWE sunny kicks
LOEWE’s Flow Runners have been issued in a variety of colourways since they were first launched in 2021. This sunny yellow pair – part of the brand’s Paula’s Ibiza collection, inspired by the legendary Balearic boutique – is as ready for summer as we are.
03. The Maison Margiela cult sneakers
If you’re in the market for a comfortable pair of sneakers that will never go out of style, look no further than Maison Margiela’s Replicas. Inspired by 1970s silhouettes, they’ve been released in various colours, but this light grey style sure is one of our favourites.
04. The adidas Originals hype-worthy style
Whether for the nostalgic silhouettes that nods to the football boots of the 1970s, for their versatility and comfort or for the bold colour pairing, adidas Originals’ Gazelles have been all the rage in recent months. Don’t mind if we suggest this peach-hued pair to kick-start summer – a guaranteed feel-good colourway that’ll work well with most neutral and pastels.
05. The Bottega Veneta metallic pair
Bottega Veneta’s Orbits are the epitome of “it” sneakers. They’re inspired by running styles from the 1990s, yet feel fresh and contemporary thanks to the metallic rubber panels and see-through construction that nods to the Italian luxury house’s signature intrecciato weave.
