If you love sneakers, it follows that you love spring and that you’ve been waiting eagerly to unbox a few fresh pairs since the beginning of winter. The sun’s out, the weather’s fairer, and it’s now possible to bypass the rugged outsoles and muted, waterproof uppers for the bright beauty of colorful sneakers.
As the sun breathes life back into your day-to-day, it also brings the chance to breathe some life back into our sneaker rotations. We're all for a darker winter rotation — it makes sense. But now that the weather's brighter, we're looking for a foundation of colorful sneakers for our spring selection.
Putting together a successful rotation of spring sneakers is like assembling a dream team. You need a little bit of everything: lightweight runners, vintage classics, and a whole lot of color. So, for those who love sneakers of all kinds, it can get pretty tricky to pick the right ones. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our top colorful sneakers for spring with the help of Footshop. Think of it as the 2021 draft for your spring rotation.
