Among the many sneaker trends flooding our feeds for fall, brown sneakers are arguably one of the most wearable. Shades of brown have found new life the past few seasons across designer runways, being a major callout for fall/winter 2025 at Miu Miu, Prada, and Gucci, where the once-deemed drab hue has quickly become a staple. Whether you’re team mocha mousse or favor a rich espresso shade, you’re in luck—the best brown sneakers currently incorporate every shade within the spectrum.

Vogue’s Favorite Brown Sneakers

With retro sneakers still very much in high demand, you’ll see plenty of throwback kicks and vintage-inspired silhouettes within our edit of favorite brown sneakers. Sumptuous suede fabrications also remain a top contender on our wish list—they look oh-so-good in a range of taupes, rich cocoa, and latte tones—while smooth leather finishes (think: Miu Miu’s buckled runner and the Adidas Samba for starters) and sporty nylon materials (namely Toteme’s shell sneakers), also make for exciting highlights.

If you’re looking for further inspiration, celebrities can’t stop wearing the brown sneaker trend on the street, either. Gigi Hadid recently stepped out in New York City in a russet-toned pair in suede from Larroudé, styled with an effortless knit set and ribbed white tank top, demonstrating the minimalist way of wearing them. Other fall styling ideas come courtesy of Dakota Johnson, who mixed her beloved Nike Cortez sneakers with a quilted barn jacket and white jeans, while Emily Ratajkowski sported her Puma Speedcats in soft taupe, as the finishing touch to a graphic sweatshirt, denim jacket, and baggy pants—her off-duty ensemble of choice.

However you decide to wear them, the best brown sneakers will complement every fall look.
