While retro kicks are the biggest trainer trend of the moment, a single pair has been the front-runner in 2024. 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 traners, a throwback design from the 1960s that features a slim sole and the brand's signature striped motif.

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.
