Although we’re slowly moving towards spring, there’s one key trend that fashion’s most attentive people are carrying into the warmer months and beyond. The style set, popping up all around us, favors jackets, knits and trousers in rich chocolate brown tones this season, but the latest item – and possibly my favorite – to get the brown color treatment is the sneaker.
Suddenly everyone is trading in their vibrant red and yellow pairs for this ultra-sophisticated neutral. The brown sneaker trend adds an extra dimension to a decidedly casual footwear option, combining a sophisticated color palette with the most comfortable shoe available. Softer than black, but just as striking, the deep hue has become a mainstay of my wardrobe lately. I can style so easily with the heavy knits I wore all winter that I’m sure this rich color trend will look even chicer with my spring capsule collection – think lightweight dresses and suede jackets.
I’m not the only one who is considering including this trend color in my shoe collection. Adidas has increased its range of stylish, neutral products in recent months – and they are also doing well when it comes to shopping. Recently spotted on model Bella Hadid, Hadid paired her brown Adidas SL 72 sneakers with a matching leather jacket and dark wash jeans for a spring-ready look that’s so 2024.

While Hadid was enticed by Adidas’ trending pair, there are plenty of other valuable contenders on the market.
