Unlike most wardrobe staples, sneakers are in a category of their own. Originally designed as a functional athletic shoe, this sporty-looking shoe now covers a variety of styles. From simple, tactical designs to high-fashion designer options and coveted collectibles, there are so many types and genres of beloved footwear.
Lately, we’ve noticed that colorful sneakers have taken over the street style scene, replacing the monotonous black, white, and gray styles that have been popular for the past few seasons. From rich chocolate browns to sparkling reds and yellows, 2024’s sneaker trends and styles are decidedly stylish. Plus, it’s an easy way to add a pop of color to any outfit.
Keep scrolling to see the five sneaker colors that are keeping celebrities on the map this year, plus shoe shopping and styling inspiration. Whether you wear them with a mini dress or baggy jeans, one thing is for sure: colorful sneakers are a fun and stylish addition to any outfit.
