Kendall Jenner and her Coachella cohorts don’t seem all that interested in flower crowns and crochet anymore. Times have changed, and the Indio music festival has evolved its style vibe, too. Many of the bohemian frocks and vintage concert tees have been replaced by more runway-relevant Gucci logo tanks, leopard crop tops, bodysuits, and track pants. This shift also applies to footwear, as the number of ankle boots and gladiator sandals has dwindled over the last few major festivals. In 2018, there’s no doubt that these free-spirited shoes will be eclipsed by the wacky, chunky, ugly-chic dad sneaker. After all, Jenner is a huge fan of her stompers, as is her bestie Bella Hadid, and as far as Instagram fashion goes, these kicks can get a lot of likes.
If you happen to be headed to Coachella this month, here are 15 cool non-flower-power dad sneakers to lace up for the big show. Say goodbye to the gladiator.
