In the world of footwear, sneakers occupy a distinct position. While they are primarily designed for practicality—movement, errands, and daily use—they are not always viewed as the pinnacle of style. Still, they remain a reliable staple and a comforting, dependable choice. Celebrities frequently step out in sneakers, styling them with intention far beyond the gym. When they do, we pay attention and take notes.
Right now, styles like the Adidas Sambas and Puma Speedcats are dominating the celebrity circuit, but with spring approaching, a new wave of must-have sneakers will emerge. Predicting which pairs will take over isn’t an exact science, but after years of covering sneaker trends and tracking what fashion insiders are wearing, I notice certain patterns that stand out.
True to Who What Wear, my eyes always follow fashion muses like Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, and Bella Hadid. These chic dressers are always one step ahead, quietly showcasing what’s next. Lately, they’ve been debuting the sneaker trends poised to define spring, from ballet sneakers to trail running–inspired styles. Keep scrolling because I rounded up the five celebrity-approved pairs that are set to be everywhere in the months ahead.
