The top March 2017 sneaker styles put a focus on bold designs that embrace unconventional detailing, bright coloring and accentuated features that may even look slightly exaggerated.
Throughout these new sneaker designs, one of the most common details is a chunky, oversized heel. Other over-the-top inclusions are graphic lettering and shapes in standout color schemes, which are visible in a gilded pair of Gold Nike and Supreme sneakers, as well as the new Nike Air Max Uptempo 97s.
One of the most prevalent new themes in sneaker design is footwear that fuses the style of a sporty running shoe with a dressed-up loafer. Examples of this can be seen in both Vans' Princetown Loafur and the Adidas Acapulco Penny Loafers.
