We're calling it now: these sneakers will still be trending throughout 2025. And the newest releases of 2025 will carry the same neutral tones. Why? Well, with young people craving financial stability and the majority of consumers rejecting overconsumption behaviors of the past years, we're predicting a shift from once-off loud patterns and prints to business/casual style pairs.
With the rising cost of fuel, inflation, and cities like New York City introducing congestion taxes, a lot more of us will be leaving the car at home and taking the train. This means a lot more walking. Shoes are going to have to be functional, long-wearing, and comfortable—not to mention cost-effective.
We're going to witness consumers reject the frequent mall visits and figure out ways to mix the new with their already-owned expensive staples. The suedes, earth tones, and neutrals are going to eclipse the loud, colorful pairings from 2024. Here are THEEGs top sneaker picks for 2025.
What's definitely not gonna be trending is a pair of beat up Golden Gooses. Just know no one takes you or anything you say seriously while you're wearing these. If you're happy with that as your personal brand statement then you do you. But anyone in their 30s rocking dirty Gooses straight out a store might wanna look deep into why. For a thousand...I can't even finish the sentence. Just get outta here.
