It’s a simple fact that good shoes—more specifically cool sneakers—can make or break an outfit. After all, these give your ensembles an edge of cool in the most casual way (and they often make a statement in the process). If you are like me, someone who typically opts for the best boots or ballet flats over sneakers, taking your first step in this world may seem daunting. However, the more time I’ve spent in it, the more I have realized; no matter your personal aesthetic or lifestyle, there is bound to be a silhouette or colorway that speaks to you.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt to do a little research on the best sneakers before you become a full-blown sneakerhead. To find out which styles have reigned supreme throughout 2022 and which exciting styles are coming hot off the press, we spoke with experts Ross Yip, co-Founder and COO of Kicks Crew and Cynthia Lee, the VP of merchandising at StockX to see what they had to say. As individuals working at brands focused on the latest sneaker styles in the streetwear game, there’s no doubt they know what’s up. Scroll on to see what our experts had to say along with some of my personal favorites for the best sneakers fo 2023.
