When buying shoes for summer, let’s pay attention that they are both fashionable and stylish, but also comfortable and convenient to wear. This season we can “go wild” with colors and choose the more intense ones. In 2023, retro and vintage style will reign supreme, and there will be many interesting offerings from the Adidas brand. Read this article and find out which sneakers to choose for the summer season.
1.Yeezy Slide
That is, the result of Adidas’ collaboration with Kanye West. These are very comfortable, lightweight and comfortable to wear flip-flops. Immediately after their release, they garnered quite controversial reviews, but quickly became the favorite footwear of celebrities and influencers from Poland and abroad. They are available in a variety of colors.
However, all indications are that they will not be produced again due to the conflict between the rapper and the brand. What follows – in the future it may be impossible to buy them or you may have to pay a huge amount to get them.
So it’s worth stocking up on these shoes now that many colors and sizes are available. Look out for the Yeezy Slide Pure which are flip-flops in a sandy beige shade. They will look great with both long jeans and short shorts and skirts.
2. Adidas Samba
That is, the must-have of this season. Shoes with a classic cut kept in a vintage climate, which dominated social media. With the rest – we are not surprised. These sneakers will perfectly complement both men’s and women’s styling.
Buying them, we do not have to worry about whether they will be out of fashion in six months. Adidas Samba is a timeless and versatile footwear, matching most styles – with a suit, dress or tracksuit. The shoes loved by celebrities in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are just now undergoing a renaissance.
A model that is loved by celebrities is the classic Adidas Samba OG Cloud White Core Black. However, an interesting replacement can be Adidas Triest Cream White Gum having inserts in a caramel brown shade.
The Samba model was designed in 1949 by Adidas founder Adi Dassler himself. It was originally designed for soccer players, more specifically for playing soccer on icy surfaces. That’s why these shoes are equipped with a rubber sole that provides excellent traction.
The word Samba is primarily associated with the dance and music genre. There’s a reason the shoe bears that name. A year after the sneakers’ launch (in 1950), the World Cup took place in Brazil, a country very well known for samba and carnival. There adidas wanted to showcase its footwear and decided on a name shortly before the tournament.
3. adidas Gazelle
This is another cult classic from under the Adidas banner. In the spring-summer season the most fashionable will be those in intense colors and in the “Bold” version on a platform. Be sure to check out Adidas Gazelle Bold Pink Glow Gum and Adidas Gazelle Bold Pulse Mint Screaming Pink. Paired with a taller white sock, they go well with a dress or short pants.
Adidas Gazelle are also shoes with a history. According to reports, they were named after American sprinter Wilma Rudolph, who earned the nickname “Black Gazelle” at the 1960 Olympics.
They were originally training shoes, available in two colors: red or blue. The red version was designed for handball, while the blue version was designed for heavier training sessions. What made them unique was the use of suede in the shoes, as this was the first time in Adidas’ history.
In the 1970s and 1980s, celebrities such as the Backstreet Boys, Kate Moss and Mick Jagger wore them. Currently, Gazelle is eagerly followed by Harry Styles or Brad Pitt. From the street to the red carpet, the simple design of this footwear works phenomenally well.
4. New Balance 530
This model reigned supreme in the summer of 2022, but will also be fashionable in the coming season. These are shoes originally designed for running, so they provide the ultimate in comfort. The shoes are equipped with a special ABZORB cushioning system, which makes you feel comfortable even during the most intense day.
The shoes are made of mesh, so they will work great in the summer. Their design is in line with the current vintage fashion trend. In addition, it is a UNISEX model, so both in men and women will look very stylish.
If you’re looking for the perfect lightweight and fashionable shoes to take on any summer trip – bet on the New Balance 530.
5. New Balance 550
That is, another vintage classic. They were fashionable in the summer and fall of 2022, and will also be fashionable in the coming seasons. What’s more, currently we can buy them at a much more favorable price than at least a year ago, so we do not advise delaying the purchase.
The 550 looks good with practically everything. Sneakerheads and fashionos create a variety of combinations, and each is unique. So we can say that this is a “safe” (but stylish at the same time!) shoe that you can reach for when you don’t have the time or energy to come up with elaborate styles.
These shoes can be considered a replacement for the Air Force 1. A white leather shoe is always worth having in your closet, and the New Balance 550, for example, in White Grey color scheme can worthily replace more popular models.
These sneakers also premiered in the 20th century. They were created in 1989 as basketball shoes. In 2020, the New Balance brand started producing them again already as regular urban kicks.
It should be noted that this is footwear for cooler summer days. During hot weather it is definitely better to bet on mesh shoes or flip-flops.
The listed models will reign supreme on the streets during the coming summer. If you want to stay on top of trends be sure to stock up on the footwear mentioned in this article.
Choose an intense color if you want to stand out, or subdued colors if your shoes are meant to be a staple for many different looks. Currently, we dress sneakers with practically everything, the previously established patterns no longer hold true, so buy your dream sneakers and wear them as you like!
