In the past few years the sneakers (or trainers) have gone through an important change: from being simply shoes used to practise sports and do physical exercises, nowadays sneakers have reached an higher footwear level.

Almost every famous fashion brands have designed their own sneakers, some of them are more sporty others are more glamorous but both have been created with a clear fashion vision.

Designers sneakers have almost replaced the classic shoes such as pumps, mules or heels also in elegant and dress code occasions.

Not sure if I am ready to team these sneakers with a feminine dress or an elegant total-look.

These are some of the must-have models for the forthcoming season:

Balenciaga: The shoes feature high-performance craftsmanship similar to those found in hiking and running gear. Debuting in fluorescent yellow with white and gray detailing, the multifaceted-design is individually made with a washed, vintage effect for a pre-loved feel.

Chloe: Leather and canvas in white with green and red trim, this high-top style references utilitarian inspiration with nylon straps replacing the traditional laces, while the chunky white heel finishes with a sporty element.

Gucci: Flashtrek sneakers have oversized rubber soles, an icy blue colorway, and gray and pink mesh inserts to inject a sportswear flair.

Louis Vuitton: the LV Archlight trainer is characterised by its flexible, oversized outsole, this fashion-forward design is crafted from technical fabric with eye-catching pops of colour. Hallmark motifs include a Monogram canvas back loop and a signature LV patch on the tongue.

Pucci: The playful color-block design is set on a chunky white rubber sole embellished with citrus-hued textured straps and voluminous ruffle heel.

Valentino: Rockstud leather sneakers made of supple white nappa leather, the embellished straps are finished with VELCRO® fastenings for effortless on-off wear.
