Vogue's Favorite Red Sneakers for Women
The key to nailing the red sneaker trend is finding styles with a heritage feel, either retro silhouettes pulled directly from the archive or something inspired by vintage models. Choose from standby favorites, such as Emily Ratajkowski's Puma Speedcat OGs in a fiery tone, which she has mixed and matched with everything from white sundresses to off-duty separates, or Gigi Hadid's Adidas Sambas, in the perfect shade of poppy red (these work with both tailoring and black leggings). Olivia Rodrigo has recently been spotted in classic, Nike Cortez sneakers in the brand's signature tone from the '70s, worn simply with a white tank and flared pants, while Hailey Bieber couldn't resist a deep crimson version in suede from Miu Miu, pairing them with a longljne leather jacket and jeans, a no-brainer transitional outfit, especially as we head into the cooler months.
Using these effortless styling ideas, choose from our list of favorites—including more heritage essentials from Vans and Reebok, plus designer riffs from Dries Van Noten, Maison Margiela, and Prada. Below, shop the 18 best red sneakers—all sure to bring a little brightness into your wardrobe.

First official photos of brand new 2025/26 Manchester City third kit leaked

The first official photos of Manchester City's brand new 2025/26 third kit have now surfaced online ahead of its official release. With anticipation building among fans for the club's latest range of matchday apparel, leaks of City kits have become an annual talking point during pre-season and the overall build-up to the latest campaign. Supporters have seen numerous concept designs and speculative renders shared online in recent months, but the emergence of official photography offers the first definitive insight into what Pep Guardiola's side will be wearing in select domestic and European fixtures next season. The third kit, traditionally worn for away matches in cup competitions or on the European stage, often provides Puma with more creative freedom than the home and away designs. Over the last few seasons, City's alternate strips have ranged from bold and vibrant to minimal and sleek. In recent years, City's third kits have also been tied to notable moments in club history. Purple-and-orange inspired editions have been worn during Champions League nights, while the 2022/23 black-and-red design paid homage to a retro pattern first seen in the 1960s. For 2025/26, Puma have opted for a strikingly modern look that blends subtle detailing with a unique theme. Now, as revealed by Footy Headlines, supporters can be issued with their first look at official photos of Manchester City's yet-to-be released third kit for the forthcoming 2025/26 season. The latest edition produced by Puma is seemingly inspired by rain droplets on a window, with the kit featuring a silver-grey base with a water drop graphic print, with the official colour palette termed as 'Cool Weather/Pro Green'. Additional information in the report around the new photos reveals that the new third kit is scheduled to be released in August 2025. The leak has sparked mixed reactions online, with some embracing the sleek silver aesthetic and unique detailing, while others may prefer more traditional colourways associated with the club's history. With an August release confirmed, the new strip could make its debut early in the 2025/26 campaign, potentially in a Champions League away fixture or a domestic cup tie. Puma's marketing campaign will also feature several first-team stars modelling the kit, alongside promotional materials highlighting the design's inspiration. As with previous seasons, pre-orders are likely to open shortly after the official unveiling, with high demand anticipated among collectors and dedicated supporters keen to secure the latest addition to City's ever-growing kit archive.

66 Takeaways From Taylor Swift's Appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce's Podcast, ‘New Heights,' According to Vogue's Resident Swifties

It's a big day for Swifties! Tonight, Taylor Swift joined her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason on their show New Heights for her first-ever podcast appearance. In a special pre-season episode, Swift shared her and Travis's origin story; discussed how she finally bought back her masters; and revealed the cover of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, out in October. Below, Vogue's resident Swifties share all their thoughts on the New Heights x Taylor Swift episode. Florence O'Connor: Sorry, but it's such a tease when they have a countdown after it hits the time it is meant to go live. Fake news that it started at 7 p.m. Irene Kim: YouTube hasn't broken yet, despite 455,312 Swifties waiting on the New Heights channel right now. Kim: Wow, it started promptly at 7:01 p.m.! I love. O'Connor: OMG, she's so pretty! Kim: I always forget what Taylor's normal 'speaking voice' sounds like because I'm so used to just listening to her music. O'Connor: Wait, where did she go? Come back! I don't care about the men! Kim: Omg, 774,809 viewers now. Swiftie nation unite. O'Connor: What does '92%ers' mean? Sorry, this is my first time watching this podcast. Kim: That's the New Heights fan base, Flo!!! (I occasionally watch the podcast to get some Swiftie intel.) Kim: Can we get Jason Kelce to host the Met Gala livestream in 2026? This energy and intro is through the roof. O'Connor: I'm laughing that Jason is on Zoom. Not even Taylor Swift being on the podcast will get that man to leave Philly. O'Connor: I'm so obsessed with her—like, why am I beaming right now, just listening to her speak! Kim: Imagine if the Swifties and the 92%ers came together, we could rule the world. Kim: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. O'Connor: 'This podcast got me a boyfriend!' My boyfriend works for a podcast, too! Kim: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, do I need to look into the podcasting world for my next boyfriend now? O'Connor: Idk, it's been three years and he's still yet to confess his love for me live on air.

Hoka Bondi 9 Review: My Honest Thoughts On Hoka's Most Cushioned Design

I've logged hundreds of miles in my 15 years as a runner, completing one full marathon and seven half marathons along the way. In other words, I'm sharing my Hoka Bondi 9 review because I know a thing or two about what makes a good running sneaker. Hoka makes some of my favorite designs (I ran the NYC marathon in the first generation Kawanas), so I was excited to get my hands on a pair of the Hoka Bondi 9s when they first launched back in January. Over the past seven months, I've put them to the test for everything from incline walks on the treadmill to speed workouts on pavement. The verdict? They're extremely comfortable and supportive—but not very versatile. Here's what our supervising editor Kara Cuzzone thought of the Hoka Bondi 9 after testing it out for ... More seven months. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: KARA CUZZONE For the uninitiated, the Bondi is one of Hoka's most cushioned silhouettes. The first iteration debuted in 2011, and the style has remained a favorite among walkers and runners who prefer cushy shoes that minimize impact. The newest generation features a new midsole and increased breathability while still providing plush support. Here's my full Hoka Bondi 9 review based on months of wearing the shoe. Price: $175 | Weight: 9.3 ounces (women's), 10.5 ounces (men's) | Drop: 5mm | Stack height: 42 mm (heel), 37 mm (forefoot) | Upper: Jacquard knit | Midsole: Supercritical EVA foam | Outsole: Rubber Best for: Long walks and easy runs Those who want plenty of cushioning Travel days Skip if: You need a racing shoe You want something highly breathable Walkers and runners with sensitive joints should appreciate that Hoka added two additional millimeters of cushioning to the Bondi 9's midsole, so it absorbs impact and cradles your foot even better than previous versions. It results in a chunky silhouette, but the sneaker isn't heavy. In fact, the design is only 0.5 to 0.7 ounces heavier than the Hoka Clifton 10 (depending on whether you're buying a men's or women's shoe). The Hoka Bondi 9 features two extra millimeters of cushioning than the previous generation. Kara Cuzzone For Forbes The thick cushioning makes these sneakers especially supportive for long walks and travel days spent on your feet. I occasionally deal with foot pain on days when I log 10,000-plus steps, but that didn't happen to me once while I was wearing these shoes. They allow for a really smooth run, too—as long as you're not concerned about speed. I found these sneakers to be best for my casual evening runs, during which I typically ran 4 miles at most and kept an easy pace. When I tried to push my pace, I felt weighed down by the thick design. I didn't experience the easy turnover that I've felt in lighter sneakers, but these aren't really designed for that, so I can't fault them too much. Plush And Comfortable Over Time The Hoka Bondi 9 is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn. And that's by design. In addition to its famous cushioning, the Bondi 9 features special heel and arch support and a soft knit upper. The shoe feels comfortable and plush from the very first wear, and I didn't get any blisters (a problem I've had with other sneakers in the past). Some sneakers start out comfortable, but start to make your feet hurt as the day goes on. That isn't the case here. I've worn the Bondi 9s for busy days in New York City when I'm trekking to and from the subway, tackling steep stairs and chasing my dog around. And at the end of those days, I find that my feet aren't sore or tired thanks to the ample support of these shoes. Special heel and arch support keep your feet feeling comfortable—even when you're standing for hours ... More on end. Kara Cuzzone For Forbes Impressive Durability In my tenure as a runner, I've found that I can usually tell when a sneaker is starting to wear down, because I start to get pain in my right knee and arch. To me, that's a sign that the shoe's support has worn down, and my joints are starting to pay the price. Depending on how much I'm running, that tends to happen at the six- to nine-month mark. So far, I've been wearing the Bondi 9s for seven months and I haven't felt any discomfort. And even more impressively, the treads don't look that worn either. After seven months, my Hoka Bondi 9s feel just like they did on day one and barely show signs of ... More wear. Kara Cuzzone For Forbes Another issue that I sometimes have with sneakers is that the upper starts to wear down near my inner ankles, possibly because I occasionally rub one shoe against the other due to overpronation. None of my Hoka sneakers have ever shown this sign of wear and tear, and that continues to be true with the Bondi 9. That really speaks to the durability of the upper material in my opinion. What To Consider About The Hoka Bondi 9 If you're looking for a versatile sneaker that you can get away with using for easy runs, speed workouts and long runs, this isn't the shoe for you. The thick design is going to leave you feeling weighed down and held back from your best pace. It's designed for casual runs and walking, and those activities are the only ones in which it truly excels. It's also worth noting that my feet got a bit hot in the Bondi 9s during tougher workouts, despite the brand's tweaks to the upper aimed at improving breathability. So if you already struggle with sweaty feet, you may want to steer clear of this sneaker. The Final Verdict I've gotten way more use out of the Hoka Bondi 9s than I originally thought I would. I find myself reaching for them when I know I've got a long day on my feet ahead of me, and they never disappoint. I initially planned on wearing them mostly for walking, but they've also become a go-to for easy run days when I'm not worried about my pace. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more supportive neutral sneaker. Just make sure you're okay with a chunky silhouette, because these certainly aren't subtle. How I Tested The Hoka Bondi 9 To uncover the advantages and drawbacks of the Hoka Bondi 9, I wore the sneaker for a variety of activities including walking, running and sprinting over the course of seven months. I took note of how my feet and joints felt during each exercise, and observed whether it felt like the shoes weighed me down at all (they only did when it came to sprinting). I also wore them for long travel days and while running errands around New York City to assess their performance as an everyday sneaker. And I monitored the foams and fabrics to ensure they didn't fail over time.
