[Spring 2025 Edition] 7 Must-Have Sneakers to Step Into the Season

Even though the peak of the sneaker boom has passed, sneakers remain the go-to footwear for Spring 2025. This season, we’ve rounded up seven standout models—from trending low-profile styles to cutting-edge tech sneakers—that are perfect for refreshing your spring wardrobe.

1. Onitsuka Tiger “MEXICO 66” – A Low-Profile Classic
As the low-profile sneaker trend gains traction, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is once again in the spotlight. While the PUMA Speedcat may be leading the trend, especially among women, the Mexico 66 remains a go-to for men thanks to its familiarity and timeless appeal. It features a sleek sole, German trainer-inspired upper layers, and signature Onitsuka stripes. A versatile option that straddles both trend and classic heritage.

👉 Recommended for those who want to stay stylish without chasing fads.

2. PUMA “Speedcat” – Trending Hard
PUMA’s Speedcat is the definitive symbol of the current low-profile movement. The Balenciaga FW25–26 collaboration drew huge attention, and this silhouette is rapidly gaining ground—especially among young women. We expect the men’s market to follow suit. If you’re looking to ride the trend wave, this should be your first pick.

👉 The ultimate low-profile sneaker that’s making headlines.

3. Vans “Super Low Pro” – Newcomer with Retro Charm
Among all the low-profile options, the Super Low Pro by Vans is the sleeper hit to watch. While still flying under the radar and sold only at official Vans outlets as of March 2025, its nostalgic yet fresh vibe is turning heads. Like past dad shoe trends, it may feel unfamiliar at first—but its classic-meets-modern design gives it strong staying power.

👉 Perfect for early adopters with a love for vintage aesthetics.

4. New Balance “991v2” – A High-Tech Favorite Reborn
Despite the rise of minimalist silhouettes, high-tech sneakers like the New Balance 990 and 991 continue to hold strong. The updated 991v2 is slimmer and more streamlined, aligning well with clean, modern fits. New inline colorways and sought-after collaborations—with brands like Stone Island, Dover Street Market, and Kith—keep this model on trend.

👉 For those who value both performance and design.

5. adidas “TOKYO” – Retro Runner with a Modern Twist
Following the explosive success of adidas’ T-toe lines (Samba, Gazelle, Handball Spezial), the brand is now pushing retro running styles like the Tokyo. Inspired by 1970s runners, it features a throwback upper and ultra-thin sole—perfectly capturing the current fashion-forward mindset.

👉 A must-have for vintage lovers embracing modern minimalism.

6. CONVERSE “ALL STAR LGCY” – An Icon, Reimagined
The Converse All Star is an undisputed legend, and now, it’s been reborn for modern times as the All Star LGCY. Faithfully recreating the original ‘70s design—with a glossy toe cap, classic stitchwork, and soft cushioned sole—this model brings retro authenticity to today’s streets.

👉 A timeless pair that belongs in every wardrobe, sneakerhead or not.

7. ON “Cloudmonster 2” – The Future of Tech Sneakers
Swiss brand ON continues to dominate the tech sneaker scene. The Cloudmonster 2, featured in a recent collab with Post Archive Faction, is turning heads with its bold, hollow-core sole and top-tier cushioning. The model’s futuristic look, enhanced by its connection to Loewe and high-performance comfort, makes it the pinnacle of the tech trend.

👉 If performance, innovation, and design are your priorities—this is your pair. Spring 2025 offers a rich variety of sneaker styles—from heritage low-profiles to futuristic performance models. Whether you’re chasing trends, building a timeless collection, or balancing both, there’s a pair waiting for you this season.
