Top 100 Shoes Trends in April

From Bright Crochet Sneakers to Cargo Pocket Sneakers

The April 2021 shoe trends explore many new design approaches that are ready for any season of the year and for any purpose. The design aspect is at the forefront as the Spring season arrives at a full force and many people start to partake in activities according to the rising temperatures.

Function comes to mind with silhouettes such as the latest X-Racer by New Balance. Recently, it updates the shoe with a utility option by adding a cargo pocket onto the footwear design. Another notable shoe trend this month is a luxury piece by Valentino, introducing the knitted crochet sneaker that is made in the Garavani silhouette. This shoe explores textures and materials as it brightly joins the house's SS21 selections.
