Shop the next big footwear trend: silver sneakers

We're big believers in a statement sneaker to zhush up an outfit – to offer a touch of excitement to an otherwise simple look. And there's been a specific colourway doing the rounds in stylish cities across the world: silver.

White or black sneakers have always been solid go-tos when it comes to trusty footwear, but it's clear that we're all craving something a little shinier and bolder than a typical neutral.

It's hard to come by a style that offers versatility. There's everything from slim-soled sneakers to chunkier flatform finds, worn by myriad celebrities like Dakota Johnson, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence.

Popular for its sporty-chic appeal, it's clear that the silver sneaker isn't going anywhere. So, these are our picks that are worth the investment from brands like Nokwol, Asics, New Balance, and more.
