The Fall Shoe Trend That’s Cooler Than Any Boot: 15 Luxe Suede Sneakers to Shop Now
They’re soft, comfy, and look undeniably chic with any outfit.
It’s almost time to stow away your mesh flats and flip flops and trade in for a more transitional shoe. Enter: the suede sneaker. Sporty and casual, yet elevated and trendy, the suede sneaker isn’t new to the scene, it’s true to the scene. The go-to material has been updated for the fall 2025 season, just in time for back to school and back to work.
No matter where you go in your kicks, It-girls everywhere love a suede sneaker. Gigi Hadid, for example, has an enviable collection of Adidas Sambas sneakers (and Gazelles) in the buttery smooth texture. She has worn them with everything, from burgundy leather jackets to vibrant sweaters. The athleisure-inspired kicks go beyond dressing up casual outfits. They also hold their own next to a pretty dress, too. Emily Ratajkowski has proven it by wearing her suede sneakers with mini slip dresses quite a few times.
