The Miu Miu x New Balance suede 530 sneakers spotted on the brand's S/S 24 runway are already one of the most talked-about upcoming sneaker drops of 2024. Reimagining the iconic style in a rich camel suede, the shoes point to a rising trend of leather-and-suede sneakers. Aimé Leon Dore and Peter Do also have styles in their 2024 collections, and all signs indicate that the kicks will be very in-demand.

For several years now, we've seen the resurgence of retro sneaker styles. Perhaps the most noteworthy style is the Adidas Samba, which shows no sign of slowing down. Wales Bonner recently dropped a collaboration with Adidas with yet another take on Samba sneakers—this time finished with contrast stitching and pony hair. They are so popular that only a few sizes are left on the market. Other retro shoes such as the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars, and more continue to dominate the sneaker space.

Sneakers are getting very sporty! We are seeing more and more takes on athletic running shoes with new styles dropping from fashion designers and sneaker brands. Asics Gel-1130s finished in metallic silver remain wildly popular. Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860 V2s are huge on the sneaker marketplace at StockX and GOAT. Bottega Veneta, too, recently released the Orbit sneakers, which come in silver, green, merlot, and black and have been spotted on Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.

Clean white sneakers are seasonless classics, but fresh takes on minimalist sneakers are arriving on the market. The Sambas are winning in this category with a cream-on-cream version finished with a tan gum sole. Other fashion brands known for their minimalism, including The Row and Toteme, have directional styles that bring a sense of sleek, elevated polish to the sneaker space.

Another key message in the sneaker department? Add some bold color. Adidas Gazelles are available in 30 shades and particularly popular in burgundy and red. Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s in yellow—the shoes worn by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill—have made a huge comeback. On its S/S 24 runway, Dries Van Noten showed green sneakers with yellow laces. And it doesn't end there.
