Nike, Asics, adidas, Zegna… This spring, we're focusing on safe values. These trendy men's sneakers are one of the must-haves of the year, and we are sure that we will still see them until December 2024. There is something for everyone! Whether you're the classic type or a little more daring, this selection is made for you. From a streetwear pair, to more luxury sneakers, whether you wear them to go to work or to a candlelit dinner, here is our list – not exhaustive – of trendy men's sneakers to be well-dressed this year.
Our favorites for 2024
adidas Samba OG Carboard
The adidas Samba continues to ride on its undeniable popularity, thanks in particular to new colors like this “Cardboard” model. After the first bursts of ultra-popular models in 2023 – including a metal tongue version of the famous Samba in collaboration with British designer Grace Wales Bonner. There is no doubt that the “Cardboard” version of Samba OG is likely to be a hit this year, so don’t wait to get your copy!
Nike Dunk Low
No need to introduce this pair of Nike Dunk Low. Available in all colors, it has been the queen of sneakers for decades now. And for good reason: it goes wonderfully with any style, and with all kinds of outfits. It's THE ultimate all-purpose sneaker. If there's one pair to have in your wardrobe, it's this one. For our part, we love this retro royal blue model but you can very well opt for a more discreet and neutral shade for spring.
Puma Coperni
Puma started the year 2024 with a bang with an unprecedented collaboration with the designer duo at the head of the French brand Coperni. Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer have designed an ultra-futuristic sneaker model directly inspired by the Future reference intended for football. A series of colors will be available with yellow, white and black.
Dolce & Gabbana Mega Skate
The chunky skater sneakers that have made a strong comeback in recent seasons – thanks in particular to the Curb by Lanvin – are not about to disappear. The proof via Dolce & Gabbana with the Mega Skate and its XXL silhouette. A hybrid mix between the New Roma and Portfofino models which gave birth to this new heavyweight from the Italian luxury house.
Nike Dunk Low
The Nike Dunk Low can now be considered one of the cornerstones of a well-built wardrobe. We particularly appreciate this version which mixes the different material inserts between suede and fabric. The advantage of this Dunk also lies in the fact that it can easily match many of the essential pants in our wardrobe.
Valentino Freedots
In 2024, the essential white sneaker is getting a makeover thanks to the Italian luxury house Valentino. The Freedots takes up the emblematic codes of the brand with its famous studs which are dotted on the sole. A model that also pays homage to skate culture thanks to its streetwear inspirations and fluid lines. A sneaker that is both sober and sophisticated to breathe new life into white sneakers.
Salomon Pulsar PRG Knit
Walk down the street for a few minutes and open your eyes: you will certainly see a pair of Salomon shoes on the feet of a passerby. The Alpine brand is one of those labels like Birkenstock and Crocs which, for several years, have been making a breakthrough on the fashion scene. So much so that today your pair of Salomon shoes will be more useful for an event with friends than for a hike in the Alps. The new Pulsar PRG Knit model, designed from fibers composed of 30% merino wool certified by the Woolmark Company, provides this model with thermoregulation, making the sneaker an ideal asset both in winter to protect yourself from the cold, as well as when temperatures rise to self-ventilate.
New Balance 990v4
Classic par excellence, this pair of New Balance takes us back to the 1990s when the first jogging addicts began to invade the parks of big cities. With their vintage cut and this very slightly dark beige on the soles, this New Balance model will adapt to all your clothing desires. In white or black version, they are perfect for days without pressure.
GmbH x Asics GEL-Kayano Legacy
After the GmbH x Asics Quantum, here are the GmbH x Asics Gel-Kayano Legacy! The success of this collaboration between Asics and the Berlin label – barely available even today – motivated the creation of a new round of sneakers. Suitable for all circumstances, it is the essential fashion touch to all your outfits. Their sporty and futuristic cut will delight the sneaker enthusiasts among you.
Valentino One Stud XL
Valentino's Garavani will be your best allies this spring. Pop and bright, nothing better than this pair to stand out from your friends. With their raised sole and their thick laces, the least we can say is that you will not go unnoticed in the street, and in particular also thanks to their canvas branded with the logo of the Italian luxury house. And so much the better: Valentino will brighten your days with these trendy sneakers for men!
