While tonal offerings were front and center during winter, for the Spring 2022 season, we’re eyeing printed sneakers of all kinds — from florals to tie dye to monograms. Novelty prints adorn the high-fashion kicks at Prada, while Louis Vuitton is bringing back its early aughts logo denim. Also in the mood for bold designs, Nike is covering its trainers with flirty florals.
