Colorful sneakers are spring's 'It' trend — master the look with these Adidas finds
As I write this, I'm sitting in a cafe sporting Adidas white sneakers. Ordinarily, so would everyone else around me. But today, I see only a kaleidoscope of Adidas kicks in bold reds, purples, yellows, blues and beyond. Colorful sneakers have officially stolen the spotlight this spring, and I'm fully here for it, no arm-twisting necessary. Consider me influenced and ready to snag a pair to wear with all my summer outfits.
I'm not quite sure which pair I have my heart set on yet, but I do know I'm heading straight to Adidas to figure it out. Adidas blazed a trail for the colorful sneaker trend to take hold, and their selection is unmatched, quite honestly. I'm head over heels for styles like Gazelle, Spezial and Tokyo in fun hues like butter yellow, bubblegum pink and metallic fuchsia. Even the ubiquitous black-and-white Sambas have gotten a technicolor makeover — my favorites come in citrusy orange!
Celebrity stylist Sonja Christensen calls the colorful sneaker look "a refreshing take after seeing all the neutrals during the quiet luxury trend." Fashion designer and celebrity stylist Maxie James cosigns the craze. "Colorful sneakers give you that perfect mix of ease and expression," she says. "It's also a reflection of where I am in my personal style. I've been choosing comfort over sacrificing the look."
But how do you even wear colorful sneakers after playing safe for so long? These pairs by Adidas are a lot more versatile than they seem — and our style experts offer some helpful tips to get you started.
