Vogue Names Brown Sneakers the Season's Most Wearable Footwear Trend

According to Vogue's selection of the top brown sneakers for 2026, these once-dull shoes have become essential. The collection features retro designs and vintage-inspired styles, showcasing suede in shades like taupe, cocoa, and latte, as well as sleek leather options such as the Adidas Japan. Additionally, sporty nylon models like Miu Miu's Plume are included. Celebrities have embraced this trend; earlier this summer, Rihanna sported light brown Nike x Jacquemus Moon shoes with a khaki trench and baggy blue jeans. In September 2025, Selena Gomez was spotted in Steve Madden sneakers, while Gigi Hadid wore russet-toned Larroudé shoes in New York. The list also includes various styles from Speedcat to Collegium Pista, with Saks Fifth Avenue mentioned as a retailer.
