Get These Retro-Chic Sneakers On Your Feet ASAP
Slim low-top sneakers reminiscent of 1970s running shoes are going to be huge for 2025 - here are the best pairs to cop now.
It's been brewing for a bit but the slim, low-top sneaker is about to explode for 2025. Just see the nameless one by Dries Van Noten (part of the designer's Fall Winter 2024 collection) that's been selling out on most online retailers, and was one of the most searched items on Lyst last year.
The silhouette is reminiscent of retro '70s running sneakers (or bowling shoes even) and has been the mainstay of existing icons like Maison Margiela's Replica but it's really taking off for 2025 with brands all across the spectrum introducing their own takes. After years of grossly oversized dad sneakers, this focus on more understated styles is pretty alluring if you ask us – here are some of the best options on the market right now.
