Best Sneaker Trends of 2018

People feel strongly about their sneakers, and they're always on the lookout for the newest, trendiest, and hottest thing out there. Are you one of those people looking for the best sneaker trends of spring 2018? We've got you, boo. Here's the lowdown on the best gum soles, metallic sneakers, dad sneakers, and top sneakers out there!

Nike is one of the sneakers of the moment, with their Air line being hotter than ever! Whether you're going for high tops or white sneakers like these Air Max babies, you'll be looking good!

(The Air line has a badass orange high top Air Jordan that you should check out too!)

Thinking retro? Want to go old school? Then think about gum soles, they're one of the year's hottest sneaker trends. Gum soles are those yellowish rubber soles that make us think of junior high gym class. They're usually attached to cool retro shoe too!

As a bonus, those yellow soles don't show dirt and wear as much either, so you'll be getting some value in a classic (but trendy!) shoe look that will last for years!

Check out Vans for some great styles, or try these, by Puma.

Another one of the sneaker trends for this year is the vintage trainer. These come in great colors, or as white sneakers, and will take you back to the 70s and 80s with their vintage styling.

These sneakers are built on the same concept as the first Nike trainers and that makes them as practical for running and working out as it does make them vintage high fashion!

You don't have to spend a lot to get a great, retro look! Try these classic nylon trainers by Reebok.

Want something truly different and totally high fashion? Then try a sock boot sneaker! It's a sock! It's a boot! It's a sneaker! It's walking the runways!

The sock-top shoe (and boot) has been a rising trend for more than a hot minute. Now, even some of the biggest fashion designers have noticed and have some great looks for you. They're selling out at Nordstrom's and Barneys, so if you see some you love, you'd better jump on them!

Feeling adventurous? Then give this a try!

Right at the top of the list of best sneaker trends for 2018 is the metallic sneaker. Gold, silver, bronze, we love them all.

Whether you're getting a gold shoe from Kate Spade and Keds or a silver Badgley Mischka sneaker that's embellished with crystals, this is another sneaker trend that will keep you in high fashion.

These crystal embellished sneakers are great, but check out your local JC Penny's or Rack Room for a look that's easier on the pocketbook.

You know the ones we're talking about. White sneakers. Thick soles. Looks like they'd have a lot of support.

First they told us to check out that dad bod. Now they're telling us to check out the sneaks your dad (or grandpa) would wear.

They're also HOT.

Look for brands like New Balance and just enjoy not only how comfortable they are but how STYLISH.

Who knew this would be a sneaker trend?

Or you can always go old school and just get some New Balance Kicks.

Have you noticed what we've said a lot about white sneakers? That's because spring 2018 saw a lot of on-trend white sneakers.

The white sneaker trend is hot and here to stay.

Celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Baldwin have all been stepping out in white kicks for a year, and that's just the beginning.

Part of the hype and interest links to the Dad sneakers trend, but there is also a tie-in to the relaunch of Adidas' Stan Smiths for spring 2018.

Check out what is definitely one of the best sneaker trends for 2018!

Brush up on 90s toys and 90s TV shows because the 90s as a reference and a fashion inspiration are stronger than ever! It's not too late to try the spring 2018 sneaker trend that links fun 90s nostalgia with sneakers!

One look we love is the Lisa Frank and Reebok collaboration that adds colorful unicorns to a goth background. They're sold by Hot Topic. How cool and 90s is that?

One of the best sneaker trends of 2018 has been the return of high tops like the Lisa Frank ones above. Chuck Taylors never go out of style, of course, but beyond Converse, there were other great top sneakers to try in high top styles!

High tops now are sock-top, mesh top, or even old-school leather. There's lots of choices!

Yes. We said velcro sneakers. Some will debate whether this is one of the BEST sneaker trends of 2018, but some will love it!

It's a throwback to childhood, and Selena Gomez and Mary-Kate Olsen both love it. So how bad can it be?
