We can always get behind a minimalist sneaker trend, and for spring/summer 2025, silver sneakers are definitely a forerunner. If the most recent batch of street style trends were any indicator, (which in our books, they certainly are!) metallic footwear is about to blow up; it’s been long overdue for a revolution. Silver sneakers are the easiest way to start incorporating a bit of shine into your spring footwear game—and shall we say, hit two birds with one stone—by getting your fix of sporty sophistication in the mix, too. The best part? Silver sneakers encompass a plethora of styles and trends, so finding your best match for the season ahead is a cinch.

Vogue’s Favorite Silver Sneakers:

We’ve got plenty of retro runners to satisfy those with an eye for vintage. Silver sneakers a great way to test drive the trend, if you still haven’t, or simply freshen up your rotation, for those long-term fans of throwback kicks. Reach for standbys like Miu Miu’s sleek and simple, low-runner or Adidas Originals’s superhit of the moment, the Taekwondo. With a textured and riveted, shiny exterior, this sneaker is almost like jewelry for your foot, and can take you from sunup to sundown, when worn with office essentials like blazers, button downs, and trousers, to floaty dresses, for a more laid back approach.

Those searching for something with the celeb stamp of approval need not look further, either. Peruse options like Autry’s Medalist, a favorite shape of Katie Holmes (they’re oh-so-cool in spring’s distressed sterling), or a bevy of Dad sneaker styles. Trust us, these certainly shouldn’t be overlooked, given that Jennifer Lawrence and Hailey Bieber have been seen out and about, wearing variations on this idea, with poignant hits of metallic. We recommend either going the classic route in this category, with athletic, runner shapes from Nike and New Balance, or investing in a luxe buy, like those from Bottega Veneta and Dries Van Noten, to truly come out on top.
