Contrary to what many people might think, sneakers can be very much a girly affair, and we do know a good number of female sneakerheads who lose their minds a little with each new highly-anticipated shoe drop.
The brands are obviously aware of this as well, hence all these snazzy styles that come in decidedly feminine colourways. There is nothing uncool about a pair of sneaks in rose gold accented or full on dusty pink, as these following styles demonstrate.
Nike Metcon 2 in Black/Summit White/Metallic Red Bronze
High-intensity training never meant a need to sacrifice on style. The Metcon 2’s especially low heel adds stability (for those squats and box jump reps), and the front of the shoe is kept soft and flexible to ensure the foot is properly cushioned during runs. Nike calls this shade a “Metallic Red Bronze”, but we all know it’s really that on-trend rose gold that stands out so nicely against the black.

Converse All Star Hi Leather Frappe Mono
Converse dropped its Holiday Nude Collection, and dedicated sneakerhead or not, our hearts collectively skipped a beat when we saw this colour palette. Very unfortunately, it’s a UK exclusive (why?!?!); so you’ll have to order it via office.co.uk (thankfully, they ship internationally). We picked out this All Star high-top style, made especially feminine in a shade the brand calls “Frappe” paired with rose gold eyelets.
£66.99, office.co.uk
Superga 2750 Leasnake in Pink
Canvas gets an upgrade when paired with snakeskin-embossed leather panelling on the cap, tongue and heel of Superga’s classic 2750 style. Colour these panels in a metalli pink and pair it with pastel pink eyelets and laces, and you can wear these sneakers with your prettiest dresses.
$139.90, Superga stores and superga.com.sg
Reebok Les Mills Hayasu in Black/Rose Gold/Chalk
This design reminds us a little of basketball shoes, but they’re actually designed for the gym. The shoe upper is seamless, with extra support for the ankles via the mid-cut height. It has a sockliner fit to keep the feet comfortable even through the most intense of workouts; and there we have it, that rose gold/black combination we really won’t tire of.
$139, Reebok and Royal Sporting House stores
adidas Originals Tubular Invader 2.0 in High Vapour Pink/Halo Pink/Off White
The Tubular was originally made for running, but it’s been reimagined as this street style that comes all nice and streamlined with the steep angle on the top, and dramatic zig zag cuts on the pigskin nubuck upper. Colour it in this “high vapour pink” and “halo pink”, and we’re sold.
$139, adidas Originals store and shop.adidas.com.sg
Axel Arigato Clean 90 Sneaker in Dusty Pink Leather with White Sole
Of course, we had to leave a slot for a pair of Axel Arigatos. This shade of dusty pink leather is a bit darker, and we’d call it almost a salmon – but it still looks great on this classic Clean 90 low-cut style with a suede heel.
US$225, axelarigato.com
