Not to call anyone out, but it’s time to purge crusty sneakers caked with dirt from our closets. Fortunately, we’ve predicted the best fall sneaker trends of 2024 for shopping inspo. Our list is here to save you from endless scrolling, whether you’re teetering on trying the ballet sneaker trend, are interested in new neutrals (like metallics and leopard print), or finally want a pair of sporty kicks.
This season’s must-haves should, of course, be fashionable and elevate your fall outfits, but they should also prioritize comfort. And we think some silhouettes like Mary Jane sneakers, platform sneakers, and (divisive) wedge sneakers are unexpectedly comfortable (and height-boosting) styles that you’ll want to try. Shoe trends from last fall, like retro-sporty styles and metallic materials are also staying strong, but with new twists and new brand options. So find your next pair of back-to-school season sneakers, ahead. Because as the saying goes, “good shoes take you to good places.”

Leopard Print Sneakers
Just as leopard print jeans and leopard print dresses are trending for fall, so are shoes and accessories in the feline print. And now you can find loads of leopard print sneakers on the market that will easily elevate your fall outfits. Pick between styles with all-over prints or subtle leopard accents and soft suede or canvas materials. The print can also be found on a range of slim and chunky silhouettes, including running sneakers. If you’re still on the fence, just know that these on-trend sneakers are unique enough to make a statement but the colors are versatile enough to pair with other neutrals or with a bold shade like bright red.

Coquette Sneakers
The coquette aesthetic has become mainstream — perhaps more than expected — which has (luckily) made the whimsical style more attainable and wearable. This is especially true for footwear when brands like Gola collaborate with Anthropologie on satin ribbon-lace sneakers and when viral brands like JW Pei create “ballerina sneakers.” You’ll continue to see these fashionable-yet-functional sneakers, especially from designer brands like Rombaut and Jeffrey Campbell.
If a ballet sneaker is a bit too kitsch for you, consider cherry-picking other (more subtle) coquette details like vintage floral prints or lace materials. Retailers like Nordstrom and Converse have unique sneakers that’ll do the job without hurting your wallet.

Sporty-Meets-Retro Sneakers
We’ve been on a sporty sneaker kick for a while (with iconic retro styles like Adidas Sambas and Nike Cortez’s at the top of our list), and you’ll continue seeing them throughout the fall. Vintage-inspired basketball shoes, tenniscore court styles, and soccer cleat sneakers have been in the spotlight for a while, but there’s always a twist on this sneaker trend.
On the chance that you haven’t already purchased a sporty pair, we’ve rounded up some crowd-pleasing sneakers, especially in fresh, new colorways. Whether you …read more
