Dries Van Noten have just released an amazing pair of white suede sneakers. Fashion lovers across the globe are clamoring over this newest drop. These trainers, with a chic, liquefy look, are both part of the best trend in today’s footwear. Laser cut and designed to be light and airy looking, they are a welcome change from the chunkier styles usually found at retail.
More recently, these notable kicks were caught on global superstar Harry Styles—who wore them while walking in the London neighborhood of Mayfair. The sighting further cements the sneakers’ status in the fashion world. Styles, with his much-discussed, razor-witted high-fashion aesthetic, has a very big pulpit from which to preach.
With their modernistic smooth lines and absence of branding, the Dries Van Noten sneakers fit in with the larger designer trend towards full-on slimline trainers. That movement, which took on serious steam at the close of last year, focuses on beauty and simplicity in shoes. Fashion insiders have begun to term Dries Van Noten sneakers as the “final boss” of this sneaker trend. These sneakers are a seriously inventive take on the minimalist trainer trend.
Celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Kaia Gerber are supporters of this trend too, choosing matching minimalist looks. Ratajkowski has slayed Dries Van Noten’s pre-fall collection. At the same time, we’ve caught Gerber on camera in Bode X Nike Astro Grabbers, further showcasing the creeping ubiquity of the slimline trainer favored by celebs.
The design of Dries Van Noten’s sneakers is reminiscent of Miu Miu’s little Plume suede sneakers but adds its own refined twist. The white colorway has been surprisingly versatile, with it looking right at home whether worn in a casual setting or more dressed up. The kicks are nothing short of “very now,” perfect for anyone trying to get one step ahead in the street wear game.
Singer Lily Allen welcomed the troop of skinny trainers, describing them as “nimble.” She underscored their contemporary attractiveness by adding, “They just feel very now.” It’s the fusion of comfort and style that make those sneakers most appealing to the contemporary consumer.
