- Louis Vuitton x Air Force 1 Low ‘Monogram Damier’ Pilot Case. There’s almost zero chance that you were able to get your hands on the Louis Vuitton x Air Force 1 Low this year because there were only 200 pairs made.
- Nocta x Nike Hot Step Air Terra. Drake first teased his Nocta Hot Step Air Terra’s in the ‘Laugh Now, Cry Later’ and then made fans wait almost a year to cop.
- adidas x Gucci Gazelle. The Gazelle is a ’90s shoe with a ’70s flair to it and Gucci accentuated that in its team-up with adidas. Spurred on by Harry Styles who wore them throughout his world tour this year, the Gazelle was brought back to life by this collaboration.
- Wales Bonner x adidas Samba ‘Cream Green’ Vintage-looking adidas low tops dominated the year in sneakers and Wales Bonner played a big part in that. The British fashion designer delivered a handful of rugged Samba colourways and they all sold out quickly.

"I'm not keen on over-the-knee boots right now because I think there are so many other styles that feel fresher. Since I'm tall, I don't really need any extra height, so I'm gravitating toward flat lace-up boots right now. They're super versatile and go with literally any kind of outfit, and they're also comfortable. Win-win." Shop the trend:
"At this point, I thought I would have been over the throwback-sneaker trend, but I'm only ordering more. Last year, I couldn't get enough of basketball sneakers, and most recently, I added a pair of cream-and-black Converse into my closet. Yep, turns out I'm officially a sneaker person now. That being said, I'm less excited about super-chunky snea...
"For 2022, I'm loving a toe-shape trend more than anything. It's a wide, round toe that feels so fresh after years of square toes. The best part is you can try the trend with almost any kind of shoes, whether it's mules (like I'm wearing) or a pair of heels. In terms of shoe trends I'm retiring, I haven't been reaching for my knee-high heeled boots...
"For now at least, I'm steering away from loafers—especially the chunky, lug-soled variety—and instead am backing all things rubber footwear. With the weather being as wet and unpredictable as it's been in NYC of late, it's not safe to wear my suede and leather footwear. Rubber shoes, like my Bottega Veneta Puddle Boots, allow me to go anywhere at ...
"I'm skipping the crazy-high platforms that celebs like Ariana Grande look so chic in, mostly because they don't really suit my lifestyle. The trend I willbe wearing this year (and maybe forever) is riding boots. I walked for miles in a pair when I was in New York a month ago." Shop the trend:
"I actually loved the chunky loafers that gained a lot of steam over the last year, but personally, they never really worked with my style and wardrobe. Instead, I'm eyeing the exaggerated-platform trend for 2022 and cannot wait to invest in a pair." Shop the trend:
"This year, I have vowed to shop smarter in order to really build out my wardrobe. That being said, I plan on minimizing the number of colorful and ultra-trendy shoes I buy and instead will be investing in timeless staples, like these suede kitten-heel mules." Shop the trend:
"I tried to love clogs since I think they look so cool but struggled to style them in a way that aligned with my personal style, so I think it's time to retire them from my wardrobe. Mary-Janes are quickly earning my affection. In particular, I can't stop thinking about this pair from The Row. Mary-Janes popped up a number of times in the spring 20...
"It's all about comfort for me, so I'm going to continue investing in easy sneakers that I can slip on and just wear all the time. On the flip side, I'm not feeling platform sneakers at the moment or those silhouettes with a super-thick sole." Shop the trend:
"Ever since I saw this shoe trend graze so many runways at New York Fashion Week, I've had my eye on the resurgence of thigh-high boots. Nothing says 'legs for days' like a patent-leather pair, and I especially love when a short skirt is worn with them to show off the added length. I have seen enough knock-offs and poorly styled takes on the utilit...
