As trend cycles are coming and going at a rapid pace, it’s key to purchase something that will not only be versatile and work with everything in your closet, but also is still in its first stages of hype.

The era of New Balance chunky sneakers is most definitely over (although I think Salomon trail-shoes are still a vibe), the ballet sneakers are far too exposing of how long you scroll on social media and we’re all craving a new shoe to replace our worn and torn Sambas that were a sensation in 2023 - which we reported on over a year ago.

Since 4 months ago, it’s been made official that the new it-girl sneaker is the sell-out Puma Speedcat. Recently restocked, there are three colourways to choose from: red, black or blush pink. Inspired by racing culture, the sleek and narrow silhouette has a retro feel with its suede finish (very hot!) and compliments any outfit whether it be cool casual or feminine.
