Celebs Are Causing These $120 Sneakers to Sell Out—Snag Them Before They're Gone
While retro sneakers are the biggest sneaker trend of the moment, a single pair has been the front-runner in 2023. It's impossible to talk about sneakers without mentioning how influential Adidas Sambas have been this year, and while they're certainly not going anywhere, there's a new sneaker style poised to be the next It pair. Meet the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers, a retro design from the 1960s that features a slim sole and the brand's signature striped motif.
Celebrities with low-key style like Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber are opting for the retro kicks with their off-duty ensembles, styling them with staples like baggy jeans and relaxed trousers, and we have a feeling it's only a matter of time until everyone else follows suit. The sneakers are on the rise on social media, too, making an impact among some of the coolest fashion people in our feeds right now. Keep scrolling to see how celebrities and fashion girls wear these buzzy sneakers, then shop a pair for yourself before they inevitably sell out.
