Future Now
We’re going back to the future with this 2021 sneaker trend, folks. Think Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century meets Yeezy vibes. Neutral shoes—with pops of metallic and other sleek colors—that look like they’re straight out of a sci-fi film abound. We saw a bit of this for fall 2020, and the trend is slated to continue into the new year. (!) Whichever way you choose to rock this trend, you’ll look lightyears ahead of everyone else.

For a lighter futuristic shoe, opt for the Adidas Energy Falcon sneakers. The pastels will take you from winter through the rest of the year—so consider these a staple in your all-season wardrobe.

I couldn’t resist adding another black and gold shoe to the round-up! These Reebok Flashfilm Sneakers look like they could transform into jet-fueled shoes that fly you around—and I’m so into it.
High Tops
Though high tops have often been considered a basketball-only shoe, styles like the classic Converse high top and picks from designers like Steve Madden have made their way in the mainstream—and they’re so on-trend for 2021. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the resurgence of the high top, but brands are whipping out some seriously cute styles already. Just add your favorite jeans and a graphic tee, and you’re set.

Ah, the classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops. It wouldn’t be a high top round-up without them, and they’re definitely the safest option to shop if you’re not sold on the trend yet.

If you want something that’s a bit in-between the classic Converse high top and the over-the-top Dolce Vita sneakers, these Steve Madden Tracey Star High Tops are a great option. They have just a bit of glam to help you stand out in a crowd.
Call The Fuzz
If you’ve ever wanted to wear slippers outside of the house, 2021 is your chance. Sneakers featuring shearling details and fuzzy insoles are going to rule next year. These shoes really are just sartorially-acceptable slippers, and I’m not mad about it. For those who always have cold feet—or just like to stay cozy at all times—this trend is definitely a game-changer.

Honestly, these Keds Shearling Slip-On Sneakers look like slippers turned into sneakers—and I’m really not mad about it. The shearling look is so cute for chilly days, too.
