The best leather sneakers are one essential no shoe closet should be without. As sneaker trends come and go, an optic white or black leather sneaker remains a footwear classic, easily styled with everything from relaxed suiting and simple dresses at the office, to your favorite jeans and a simple jacket on the weekend—they really are that versatile; but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun, too, when shopping for the best leather sneakers.
Vogue’s List of Best Leather Sneakers:
A few, notable sneaker colors have been taking over on the streets, both within the stylish set seen during Fashion Month, and on the feet of a few of our favorite celebrities—and they all happen to be made from leather. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the neutrals, but investing in something with a bit more pizzazz to also add into rotation just feels right as we head into the colder months.
A few of our favorites include the bold red sneakers that Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid have been seen sporting constantly, to the metallic silver styles, inspired by Emily Ratajkowski’s recent obsession. Our wish list wouldn’t be complete without brown sneakers, either—various shades of the earthy tone stood out as major highlights when made from supple leather. The best part is all of these sneaker designs are minimalist enough to wear over and over, while adding that extra pop.
Below, discover the 30 best leather sneakers for women.
White Leather Sneakers
The OG of leather sneakers, if you will. Here, find plenty of longtime favorite white sneakers, such as the Achilles from Common Projects, a sleek and minimalist-friendly option that everyone from celebrities to editors love, to Nike’s Cortez in optic white. Designer interpretations from The Row, Toteme, and Gucci also get our stamp of approval. These pair perfectly with everything from relaxed suiting to a white T-shirt and jeans.
Red Leather Sneakers
Red sneakers are trending on the street, beloved by Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowski. Make one of these leather pairs your own—whether that be the simple runner from Prada, a retro-inspired shape from Loewe, Dries Van Noten, or Miu Miu. You can also go the contemporary route with the Adidas Japan sneakers or Puma Speedcats in bold cherry—all are pure footwear gold.
Brown Leather Sneakers
If you haven’t heard—earthy brown tones are also back. Whether you’re craving something in rich chocolate (see: Maison Margiela’s Replica sneaker or the Adidas Samba interpretation) or a hint on the lighter side (Miu Miu’s Gymnasium update is a super cool pick in toasted chestnut this season), these are the best brown leather sneakers to scoop up stat.
Metallic Leather Sneakers
The streets don’t lie—and we noticed silver sneakers trending in a big way outside the shows and on-the-go throughout Fashion Month. Let the record show it’s not just showgoers who tapped into the trend. Emily Ratajkowski has been seen out and about on many occasions in silver sneakers the past few weeks, styling it with everything from baggy jeans to a fitted mini dress, proving how versatile the metallic can be.
Black Leather Sneakers
Just like a trusted white kick, every sneaker closet should have a pair of black leather sneakers in rotation. These simple silhouettes play well with wide-leg denim for off-duty outfitting, but you could also try dressing some of these up with a knit midi dress, acing the sneakers-and-dress combo idea, as we head into the cooler season.
