From limited-edition collaborations to all-new silhouettes and remastered icons, the 2025 sneaker landscape is thriving. As brands like Nike, adidas, ASICS and New Balance build on design codes established in 2024, signature highlights from the likes of A’ja Wilson and Nigel Sylvester are early frontrunners for sneaker of the year, blending performance innovation with cultural impact. Meanwhile, hybridity continues to be a defining theme, with more colorways of New Balance's 1906L "snoafer" amplifying its presence further.
