Combine two trends with ballet sneakers
Balletcore was at its peak a few years ago, but that doesn’t mean the trend has gone away completely. Enter ballet sneakers, which are making the rounds on many celebrities’ feet, including Bella Hadid and Amelia Gray Hamlin. One standout version, Puma Speedcats, took over in 2024 and remain trendy today. Functional, yet dressy enough to wear during a night out, ballet sneakers have become the darling of the sneaker world.
“Ballet sneakers have Y2K origins so it’s not at all surprising to see them coming back around like many Y2K trends have been in recent seasons,” stylist Allison Berlin told CNN. “This is a bit of a polarizing look — then and now — but runway versions that inspired the revival from the likes of Miu Miu and Simone Rocha represent a fun option to chunkier dad sneakers combined with a comfortable shoe that could be worn in a casual setting.”
Ballet sneakers, also known as sneakerinas, have become so popular that designers have created various versions of the trend, so there are many options out there. From realistic-looking satin styles to ones that have a more sporty feel, fashionistas will be sure to find at least one pair to their liking. Cushionaire offers an off-white pair with lacy details that will look gorgeous with any outfit, while Skechers has strappy black ones that are practical, yet stylish. If you’re going to embrace the skinny sneaker trend, there’s nothing like choosing sneakerinas to go all in.
