Not Black, Not White: The 2025 Sneaker Color Trend That Fashion Enthusiasts Are Currently Sporting at the Airport.

      As of July 2025, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has eliminated the requirement to remove shoes at security checkpoints across the country. This allows travelers to wear shoes that are challenging to take off, such as lace-up boots or strappy sandals; however, my choice of airport footwear remains unchanged. I still prioritize comfort due to all the walking and standing involved, which is why I continue to opt for sneakers. I'm aware that I'm not the only one with this preference. A perfect example is Emily Ratajkowski's recent travel outfit.

      At JFK airport yesterday, the model and actress was seen sporting a chic yet comfortable ensemble consisting of a black tube top, black and red track-style pants, a striped long-sleeve shirt tied around her waist, and silver sneakers—specifically, the Puma Speedcat Ballet Metallic Shoes that are currently trending among fashionable individuals. She was also spotted with ALO's Voyage Duffle, a sophisticated weekender bag that fashion insiders are currently adoring.

      Black or white sneakers, or a combination of both, are classic choices that pair well with jeans, sweatpants, or leggings for travel. However, if you're looking for shoes that feel contemporary and very much in line with 2025 trends, silver sneakers are the ideal pick. They introduce a modern, edgy touch to any outfit. While they tend to be more striking than traditional browns, blacks, and whites, they still maintain a neutral allure that minimalist stylists appreciate. If you’re inspired to incorporate a pair into your fall wardrobe, keep reading, as we’ve compiled a list of the top silver sneakers available.
