Your sneaker collection is the constant in your wardrobe that needs to be supplemented every now and then. If you want to get ahead of the rest, it’s better to keep your finger on the pulse now: these will be the sneaker trends for 2022.
5 X SNEAKERS FOR YOUR WISHLIST
1. HIGHTECH BASKETBALSNEAKERS
The more technical – and perhaps slightly less elegant – basket sneaker is next. High and comfortable; like you’re always ready for a game of dribbling.
2. SUSTAINABLE SNEAKERS
Veja, Komrads, and Allbirds… have been in the pipeline for a long time, but larger and larger brands are also launching eco-sneakers. For example, Dolce Vita shoes entered into this race to create leather shoes, designed some sustainable sneakers from plastic waste, and fished from Portuguese beaches. Of the latter, 12 models were designed in Antwerp.
3. VINTAGE-INSPIRED SNEAKERS
Many designers have been looking to the past for inspiration for a while and 2022 will be no different. The sneaker design is ‘aging’ and that is reflected in yellowish soles, faded laces, and designs from the past that is coming back on the market.
4. THE OLD SCHOOL SNEAKER
Plain and simple, that’s how you can approach your footwear in 2022. Outfits overflowing with style and elegance with the necessary portion of street cred seem to be ubiquitous these days. How do you finish such a silhouette? With a very basic, but cool statement shoe: an all-star sneaker. Also, read it.
5. GENDER-NEUTRAL SNEAKERS
Women don’t need overdesigned, pink-it-and-shrink-it sneakers anymore, they want full-size and gender-neutral designs. Yes, thank you!
