18 Best Summer Sneakers for Every Warm-Weather Adventure

The best summer sneakers are a nonnegotiable during the warmer months. While you might automatically gravitate to wardrobe essentials like comfy sandals or barely there espadrilles when temperatures are soaring, kicks offer classic good looks and give you plenty of support when you’re out walking or biking everywhere. (Plus, they don’t create bizarre tan lines.)

Yes, sneakers can be worn any time of year—just look to our trusty white sneakers—but this is the season to get a bit more vibrant with your picks. Now’s the time to experiment with fun colorways (lemon yellow! bright florals!) and new materials (denim! breathable mesh!) that are a bit more extra than your usual go-tos.

So what’s in the mix this season? Staples like Adidas, New Balance, and Superga are still going just as strong as ever; meanwhile, new silhouettes from Tory Burch, On, and Cariuma are poised to breathe new life into your wardrobe. Whether you’re headed to a tropical getaway, a low-key wedding, or just a walk around the neighborhood, prepare to have these cute summer sneakers in heavy rotation.
