As the air cools and the leaves change, sneaker trends are following suit — trading summer’s loud neons for rich textures, earthy tones, and heritage silhouettes. This autumn, fashion insiders and sneakerheads alike are leaning into tactile materials like suede, pony hair, and calf leather, proving comfort and craftsmanship can absolutely coexist.
Here’s what’s defining the Fall 2025 sneaker scene and how to keep each pair looking its best.
Earth Tones & Suede Everything
Warm hues like espresso brown, taupe, and burnt orange are dominating collections from brands like COS, Puma, and New Balance. These sneakers evoke the cozy, grounded vibe of the season while keeping things refined.
👉 Trend to watch: The Puma Speedcat OG, a sleek suede racer silhouette perfectly in tune with the fall palette.
Sneakky Tip: Suede may be stylish, but it’s sensitive. Use a suede brush and protector spray before your first wear, and avoid water at all costs. If they do get dirty, Sneakky Klean’s suede care treatment will bring them right back.
Animal Prints Roar Back
Leopard, snakeskin, and cow-print sneakers are adding attitude to wardrobes everywhere. Sam Edelman’s Talia and Reebok’s Club C Pony-Hair are leading the charge with bold textures and statement prints.
👉 Trend to watch: The leopard-print low-top — perfect for pairing with denim or leather.
Sneakky Tip: When cleaning animal prints or pony hair, blot gently with a damp microfiber cloth and avoid scrubbing. For deep cleaning, leave it to the pros — textured materials require precision and patience.
Retro Runners & Archive Revivals
Fall fashion wouldn’t be complete without a nod to nostalgia. Classic silhouettes like the adidas Samba OG and adidas Originals Tokyo W are back, pairing effortlessly with jeans, cargos, or even tailored coats.
👉 Trend to watch: The New Balance 530. A ‘dad sneaker’ turned streetwear essential.
Sneakky Tip: Use a soft-bristle brush and gentle foam cleaner to remove midsole grime, then air-dry with shoe trees to maintain shape.
Luxe Minimalism & City Comfort
For those who prefer clean lines over color chaos, COS’s Minimal Leather Trainers and the Tory Burch Field Sneaker bring luxury to simplicity. Neutral leathers, low profiles, and elevated construction define this quieter but equally stylish trend.
👉 Trend to watch: Minimal, brown leather silhouettes that transition seamlessly from office to weekend.
Sneakky Tip: Treat leather sneakers like your favorite jacket: wipe them down weekly and condition every few wears to keep the surface supple and crease-free.
Statement Collabs Continue
The season’s collabs blur the line between fashion and street. Expect unexpected mashups — luxe materials, bold patterns, and experimental forms. Whether it’s Pharrell x Adidas or Tory Burch’s refined hybrids, these limited editions are made to turn heads.
Sneakky Tip: For collectors, preventive care is key. Keep collab pairs dust-free and occasionally deep-clean them to maintain resale or display value.
