With the temperature finally hitting red, we want to match the energy outside and wear some colour. Forget the all-white colourways and the dark tones we were wearing all winter. Come summer and we want some bright tones on our shoes. From neon pink to yellow, we’ve done the groundwork and picked out eight pairs that will energise your sneaker game this season.
H-Street
If you’re into old school silhouettes, this one’s up your street. Based on the ‘90s silhouette – the Harambee – the revamped H-Street keeps all its archive sensibilities with the simple mesh upper and the retro silver accents. For a burst of serotonin, we’ve picked out this hot pink colourway. It’s loud, fun and guaranteed to get you compliments.
Vomero Premium
Just because you’re running in them doesn’t mean they shouldn’t look cute. Your running shoes need to match up with your lifestyle shoes. These Vomeros feature a ZoomX foam midsole, wide nets for extra stability, Air bags for the ultimate cushioning and a baby pink hue that is lowkey giving ballet vibes.
Italia 60s
This pair gives us a surge of nostalgia. The adidas Italia 60s will bring a vintage element to your shoe rotation, providing an easy and timeless vibe to any outfit. And this yellow/navy colourway is ideal for summer.
P-6000
Inspired by old school Pegasus sneakers, the P-6000 takes on that retro y2k silhouette and fuses it with a 2020s technology. Its performance roots give it a cushioned stride and lightweight comfort. Plus, this white with ombre neon yellow/orange colourway gives a subtly bold touch to your style.
SL 72 OG
Originally a track shoe crafted for the 1972 Olympics in Munich, the SL 72 is the ultimate summer silhouette. It’s easy-going, comfortable and lightweight, and this red/pink colourway will add a pop of colour to any outfit.
Gel-Kayano 14
Hey, we get it. Some of you might not want to go full-on bold. This one’s for the demure girlies out there. This silver/white colourway with pink accents on the bubble gives a y2k Lelli Kelly energy.
Gator Run
Another heritage runner, the Gator Run was once an athletic turf shoe but now it’s been revamped into a lifestyle silhouette. The low-profile brings a sleek retro feel to your rotation with its unconventional design – we’ve picked out this bright lime green colourway, which might feel a little loud but it gives a zesty burst of colour to any look.
Pegasus Premium
Engineered for max responsiveness with Nike’s Zoom technology, the Nike Pegasus Premium will have you speeding on your Strava route, but it’s this aquatic colourway that will get people staring. The blue/minty tones will give Aquamarine a run for her money.
