16 of the Best Sneakers From Fashion Month FW22
The hottest designer shoes of the season, right this way.
The Fall/Winter 2022 runways were packed with premium sneaker styles, from buzz-worthy collabs like Palm Angels x Vans and adidas x Gucci, to hybrid footwear like Off-White™’s sneaker heels and knee-high boots.
The FW22 shows proved that athletic footwear will continue to be a high-fashion mainstay. In seasons past, designers seemingly relegated their sneaker offerings to a few models heavily inspired by classic silhouettes, mostly Nike Air Force 1s and Air Jordan 1s. This season, however, showed progress with designers opting for boundary-pushing silhouettes with premium finishes — see the aerodynamic trainers at Balmain.
Read on for an assortment of our favorite styles from Fashion Month FW22.
