Sneaker Predictions for summer 2024:

Balenciaga seems to be the driving force in oversized sneakers.

They have taken the drivers seat for more than a few years now since the 'Triple S's' released in 2017.

Balenciaga's 3xl mesh sneakers

It makes sense to have chunky sneakers to go with your oversized silhouette and as you can see from the 3xl Mesh sneakers, they have drawn inspiration from preworn Asics sneakers, so keep your eyes pealed for some Asics's cheaper alternatives.

In contrast to the 3xl chunky style we've seen more and more slim fitting sneakers in the ether. One of the exsamples is Prada's America's Cup sneakers.

While they have had their time in the limelight some years ago, everything in fashion goes around in cycles and so we expect to see more Osweego's during the summer.

Adidas X Raf Simons Osweego's

A common trend in sneakers has been extra chunky and wide sneakers or very slim and minimalist. The Lanvin Leather Curb sneaker serves the former to it's essence.

Taking strong inspiration from Osiris d3's, the leather curbs are somewhat nostalgic to 90's kids and if Tiktok is any indicator to the newer generation as well.

Maison Margiela's are the epitome of classical minimalist sneakers. The craftsmanship is excellent and you cant go wrong styling the calssic Replica's.

Sustainable Fashion:

Embrace eco-conscious fashion by opting for sustainable and ethically made clothing.

From organic cotton t-shirts to recycled nylon swimwear, there are plenty of eco-friendly options available that don’t compromise on style.

By choosing sustainable fashion, you not only look good but also feel good knowing that you’re making a positive impact on the planet.

Relaxed Tailoring:

Upgrade your summer wardrobe with relaxed tailoring that strikes the perfect balance between casual and formal.

Think unstructured blazers, lightweight linen suits, and cropped trousers for a laid-back yet polished look.
