Living in New York City, I have a front-row seat to some of the world’s best street style. A quick coffee run or trip to the supermarket can feel like a fashion show, with new trends popping up nearly on every corner. And when it comes to footwear, New Yorkers don’t miss a beat.
As a walking city, New York demands shoes that are comfortable enough to trek serious miles but stylish enough to pass the street-style test. So naturally, I turned to NYC rich girls, who always seem to keep a fresh rotation of the season’s coolest sneakers. After analyzing shoes on the subway, studying sneakers while waiting in line, and clocking every pair that crosses the street, I narrowed it down to the three main sneaker categories NYC rich girls can’t stop wearing.
Trendy Sneaker Styles New York City Rich Girls Are Wearing
Mary Jane-Style Kicks
1. Two-in-One Look: Combine two of the season’s biggest trends with the Tigeridea slip-on sneakers. Leopard print gets a modern update with tubular laces and contrast paneling.
2. It’s All in the Details: If capsule wardrobes are your thing, you’ll love these almond-colored Mary-Jane sneakers. A slim strap crosses the front, while perforated and scalloped details add character.
3. Tested and Adored: I own these exact Adidas Mary Jane sneakers, and they’re some of my most-complimented shoes. The criss-cross straps aren’t just stylish, but they’re functional, keeping my feet secure.
4. Autumn’s Favorite Hue: Available in a rich chocolate-brown hue, these rounded-toe kicks feature crisp white lettuce trim and a double-strap design.
5. Underrated Find: The Lucky Step Mary-Jane sneakers play with proportions, boasting a gummy sole that appears to spill over the edge.
Playful Prints and Bold Colors
6. Subtly Wild: These white Reebok tennis shoes feature a slim leopard-print swoosh across the side, adding a point of style interest.
7. Unique Color Combo: Why settle for a classic pair of tennis shoes when you can secure these lively Nike kicks featuring bold colors? The design includes vibrant pink, sky blue and creamy vanilla hues.
8. Fan Favorite: There’s a reason shoppers are obsessed with Gola sneakers. Beyond their comfortable fit and sleek design, this pair comes in a sunny yellow hue.
9. Unique Print: It’s not often you see a pair of cow-print kicks, but once you try them, you’ll understand just how much they elevate even the simplest of looks.
10. Perfect for Fall: If you’re searching for a do-it-all sneaker that’s comfortable and chic, reach for the New Balance 327 kicks. The deep maroon hue alone is reason enough to add them to your rotation.
Low-Profile Silhouettes
11. Sweet and Playful: Vivaia combines the sturdy sole of a sneaker with delicate satin and ribbon to create this low-profile silhouette. Trust me when I say it will become a closet staple.
12. Sporty and Cute: Adidas understood the assignment, delivering a barely-there sneaker featuring suede, its iconic three stripes and an almond toe.
13. Editor’s Pick: The Puma Speedcats have been on my wishlist for quite a while, and it might finally be time to add them to cart. Details include a lace-up closure, grippy sole and trend-forward design.
14. $13 Steal: It’s rare to come across a pair of kicks for under $15, yet these retro, turquoise tennis shoes deliver.
15. 44% Off: Secure this pair of sporty Dolce Vita sneakers while they’re still on mega sale. The neutral color pairs with nearly everything.
