As a Fashion Editor, here are the must-have sneakers I'm incorporating into my wardrobe this spring.
Sneakers have become a staple in my daily attire these days, something I might not have said so easily five years ago. (I've always preferred shoes in the style of Carrie Bradshaw over any other.) Each year, my allegiance shifts toward shoe trends that are practical, comfortable, and stylish—resulting in a shoe closet brimming with fashionable sneakers. Additionally, I've been entirely swayed by the fashion industry's embrace of sneakers over the last decade and the thrilling revival, especially of retro sneakers, that has captivated the fashion scene. While I experiment with various brands and styles, I consistently return to the It-girl favorite, Adidas. My white Sambas have nearly reached classic status, but there are plenty of trendy styles I’ve noticed among fashionistas this season that I’m eager to add to my spring collection. Below, I’m highlighting the most stylish Adidas options I'm eyeing this season, from the trendy Adidas Tokyos to the ever-popular suede Spezial sneakers.
**Tokyo**
With a sleek design set on a fine sole, Adidas's Tokyo trainers are lightweight, versatile, and much more suitable for dressing up than the oversized, chunky styles. These are high on my spring wish list.
**Taekwondo**
Adidas's Taekwondo sneakers tap into the sports-inspired sneaker trend that has been steadily growing. They effortlessly pair with stylish shorts and track pants, as well as elevated essentials like dark-wash jeans and slip dresses.
**SL 72**
Adidas's SL 72s have been quite popular among fashion enthusiasts over the past year, particularly with trendy Scandis and Europeans who appreciate their retro appeal combined with fun color combinations.
**Handball Spezial**
A stylish way to embrace the suede sneaker trend is with a pair of Spezial sneakers. The range of colors offered by these iconic, low-profile shoes is impressive, and the brand's collaborations, like the recent one with Sporty & Rich, have attracted many fashionable individuals to this versatile style.

**Samba Long Tongue**
For those of us who love Sambas and want to grow our collections, the long-tongue silhouette is essential. With a sporty soccer vibe, they add a fresh, cool element to your elevated basics. Plus, the newest color combinations are incredibly chic.
**Samba OG**
Still a fan of Sambas? I completely understand. They are classic and timeless pieces that will never go out of style. I'm keeping an eye on a few color options to add to my collection this season.
**Gazelle**
Once limited to indoor training, Adidas Gazelle shoes have transitioned into street culture, earning iconic status. The brand provides a variety of suede and velvet choices that can add a retro touch to any outfit.
