5 Spring 2025 Sneaker Trends You’re About to See Everywhere

Our favorite spring 2025 sneaker trends are so much fun—and here to rescue you from your footwear rut. The overall vibe, as we’ve deduced from scouring the spring-summer runways and spending countless hours walking around New York, is athletic. Slim, retro styles reign supreme among this season’s shoe trends; think foam midsoles, barely there outsoles, and court-inspired silhouettes.

And while white sneakers will always have a time and place in our capsule wardrobes, silver is making its case as the coolest neutral on the market as street style leans further into quirky individuality. It’s just as easy to wear as white, but with much more interesting results. Ready to bring your sneakers up to speed? These are the biggest 2025 sneaker trends we’ll be wearing this spring and summer, including plenty of picks that only look expensive.

Glamour’s wish list of 2025 sneaker trends

1. Retro foam

While foam midsoles have largely gotten cushier and more dramatic in recent decades, the tides are starting to change: Many of the coolest sneakers we’ve seen in the wild now feature ’70s-style foam bands around the soles. The result looks like something you’d wear to high school track practice in the coolest way possible—and each of these pairs is so easy to style with your existing wardrobe of wide jeans and spring dresses.

2. Extra-slim soles

The street style set has spoken: We’re in for another season of slim, retro sneakers, this time with the absolute thinnest soles possible. Ushered in late last year by Dries Van Noten’s streamlined sneakers, the silhouette is now available at nearly every brand, from Adidas to Zara. Plus, with Miu Miu and Stella McCartney showing ultraskinny styles for spring 2025, they’re only going to get more popular; we suggest picking up a pair ASAP, before the rest of your group chat catches on. (Oh, and Bella Hadid wore that exact Vivaia pair below.)

3. Court-ready kicks

Everyone needs a good pair of court sneakers in their closet, especially now that gum soles are absolutely everywhere. Adidas Sambas will be just as hot in spring 2025 as they were last year, and other heritage silhouettes from Puma and Nike are also enjoying a major moment. Meanwhile, Loewe and Tory Burch have released popular styles featuring track-inspired foam midsoles and grippy outsoles—it’s total agreement across the fashion industry. No matter which pair you choose, style it with crew socks for the full throwback effect.

4. Slick silver

After a few seasons out of the limelight, silver sneakers are back in a major way—just ask Fashion Week attendees across the world. If you can’t get your hands on the ultraviral metallic Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers, which have been tough to find in the United States for over a year now, no worries: The picks below from It brands like Salomon and Steve Madden capture the same cool-girl energy. Plus, the finish fits into plenty of other trends on this list, including court sneakers and foam midsoles. As we mentioned before, try wearing the finish anywhere you’d otherwise be tempted to wear white; they look just as good with denim, with a little more street cred.

5. Ballet sneakers

The weirdest sneaker trend on our editors’ radar has finally hit the big time. Following in the footsteps of boundary-pushing labels like Ecco and Simone Rocha, which have long offered ballet flat and sneaker hybrids, major brands like Steve Madden, Puma, and Zara are now releasing their takes on the trend. The look isn’t for the faint of heart, but anyone brave enough to give it a shot will discover that it’s the easiest way to make a boring outfit instantly feel cutting-edge. Plus, when you can buy in for as little as $35, there’s virtually no downside. Go on, take a leap.
