Serious fashion enthusiasts are ignoring basic sneakers in favor of these new trainers.

      If your sneaker collection needs an update—something sophisticated yet slightly understated—you've come to the right spot. While the streets may be filled with well-known styles, I've noticed a stylish, low-key sneaker trend that fashion insiders are embracing this summer. Evoking a decidedly ‘70s vibe, Dries Van Noten's low-profile sneakers feature sleek lines, a soft suede surface, and a two-tone color scheme, combining the comfort of classic trainers with a fresh, 2025 aesthetic. Originating from Belgium, the brand is well-regarded for its intricately layered outfits, vibrant prints, and a refined bohemian style, but this season, it's their low-profile sneakers that are turning heads. Embracing the retro sneaker trend with a simple design that feels elegant and easy to wear, these streamlined shoes are now appearing on chic Instagram feeds where Sambas once reigned. The forest green version has already become a subtle favorite among those in the know, although it has regrettably sold out. They are available in a selection of stylish, versatile colors, including rich chocolate, soft beige, and deep black.

      So if you're in search of a sneaker that appears a bit more refined (and not quite as ubiquitous), consider this your sign. Keep scrolling to discover the Dries Van Noten styles that we are currently enamored with.
