Top 90 Shoe Trends in May

From Cherry Blossom-Themed Shoes to Hawaiian Shirt-Inspired Sneakers

— May 30, 2021 — Fashion
These May 2021 shoes are sure to stand out this coming spring and summer. Vibrancy and creativity are the themes that guided styles like Midorikawa and Suicoke's quirky painted toe shoe design to fashion forefronts. These inspiring designs encourage consumers to express themselves however they see fit.

Another shoe design that stands out is the cherry blossom-themed basketball shoe. With spring in the air, this Sakura tree detailing adds a captivating allure to the Nike LeBron 18 Low sneaker model. Its redesigned Swoosh—Nike's famous logo—is redesigned with intricately embroidered pink cherry blossoms.

For more floral pattern aesthetics, Converse released its Chuck 70 Low sneaker in a 'Tropical Shirt' design. Not only is this release colorfully stylish, but it is also made with upcycled Hawaiin patterned shirts for a sustainable design.
