Top 40 Shoe Trends in July

From Glittering Gladiator Sandals to Carbon-Plated Training Sneakers

The July 2021 shoes' trends are a collection of the freshest styles in the fashion world. With summer in full swing, many of these shoes and sandals cater to consumers looking to enjoy the outdoors. From casual streetwear shoes to high-performance training sneakers, these shoes show off smart designs and lively colorways.

The Omni Zone 2 “Light Jammer" from the Nerf x Reebok collaboration brings Nerf's classic colors to Reebok's hip shoe design. The neon orange and lime green colors make the sneakers pop, immersing the shoes in a lighthearted sense of play.

While the John Candor shoes aren't as bright, they are nonetheless stylish. The multifunctional footwear has a formal look that hides the shoes' comfort-focused design. In addition, the dress shoes have an integrated orthotic sole which enables everyday wear.
