A playful rebuttal to the more serious kitten heels and Mary Janes that were all the rage this year, the yellow sneaker trend offers a practical alternative that works well with casual outfits like jeans and shorts, as well as more directional pieces like printed dresses and “quirky” skirts.
Driven to popularity by Japanese footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger, their MEXICO 66 trainers were one of the hardest sneakers to get hold of last year, and for much of this year as well, with demand quickly leading other brands to release their own versions of the yellow trainers.
