Just so you’re aware, every fashion enthusiast is already sporting this fall sneaker trend.

      I can still clearly recall the sneakers I received the summer before starting third grade. They were white and slim, and in the dark, they lit up with quirky neon-green monsters. While I don’t anticipate glow-in-the-dark sneakers becoming popular again anytime soon, I still choose to wear slim, '70s-inspired sneakers today. Interestingly, this style is also poised to be a leading trend for the upcoming fall season.

      If you’re skeptical about slim sneakers being trendy, hold on before you scroll past. Just a few years ago, gorp-core sneakers, which were more suitable for hiking, dominated the streets of Manhattan. Prior to that, chunky dad sneakers were everywhere, even on designer runways. Now, the fashion pendulum is swinging back: instead of lug-soled sneakers, we're embracing sleek, low-soled designs.

      Leading the trend is, of course, Adidas. The Tokyo Shoe (endorsed by Olivia Rodrigo, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, and more) was incredibly popular this spring and summer. The suede detailing on the exterior is so luxurious, making it ideal for the fall transition. This year, the Samba Janes, inspired by ballet flats, have also gained popularity, combining the delicate flat design with a sporty sneaker for the ultimate in practicality.

      And how could I mention Adidas without highlighting the iconic Samba? The original slim sneaker has never really gone "out" of style and continues to be a best-seller for a good reason.

      Low, flat-soled sneakers with a sleek design are, admittedly, easier to style compared to chunkier options. They pair perfectly with some of fall’s most significant trends. Polished pencil skirts and skinny cigarette-style pants are making a comeback, and styling them with chic, casual sneakers seems like a natural choice. Boho-inspired pieces look fantastic with retro sneakers like the Tokyo or Japan styles. Additionally, Adidas offers a low version of its popular Gazelle sneakers and a super-low-soled sneaker, the Grand Court. Plus, a slim, white sneaker is incredibly adaptable—regardless of the aesthetic, it’s a must-have for any capsule wardrobe.

      Below, I’ve gathered some of the finest pairs of Adidas's slim sneakers to consider for fall. These will complement any outfit.

      **Adidas Gazelle Lo Pro Shoes**

      This sand color is so luxurious.

      If you're uncertain about which pair to choose, I suggest these. The flat sole and suede feel outstanding.

      **Adidas Taekwondo Lace Shoes**

      Fun fact: The Taekwondo style takes inspiration from traditional shoes worn for the sport.

      **Adidas Handball Spezial Shoes**

      The brown hue is a perfect fit for fall.

      The pony-hair detail looks very upscale, yet it remains within the brand's affordable price range of around $100.

      The SL 72 features a slightly raised sole while still fitting within the slim shoe category. It’s an excellent choice for those not entirely convinced by slim shoes but interested in giving them a try.

      The Country OG silhouette is quite retro, and it also comes in a rich pony-hair material.

      If you can still snag them (hurry!), the Samba Jane is incredibly unique and stylish.

      **Adidas Grand Court Lo Shoes**

      The ultimate low-profile shoe. (It's right there in the name!)

      **Adidas Gazelle Indoor Shoes**

      I would pair these with black or gray trousers and a cozy sweater when the cooler weather arrives.

      You can also find the Taekwondo style available without laces, and it comes in a range of elegant colors.

      There are numerous variations of the Samba.

      For those who prefer more options: This limited-edition color of the Tokyo is currently 30% off.
