The Six Best Sneakers of 2021
1 | Converse, Run Star Hike | $110
I am OBSESSED with these sneakers! Would I wear them hiking? Probably not (snag my hiking boots here), but I would wear them out and about in the city.
A sculpted platform and toothy, serrated sole jack up the stature of a high-top sporting an iconic Converse profile and a debossed star framed on the heel.
2 | Madewell, Kickoff Trainer Sneakers | $98
Equal parts old school and new, these trainers have a super cushy, ultra-supportive fit. They’re also as eco-friendly as they can make them. The cotton lining and rubber outsoles are recycled and the leather is sustainable.
Cute, comfortable, and the colors in these trainers go with everything.
3 | Golden Goose, Superstar Sneakers
Handcrafted low-top buffed calfskin sneakers in white. The smudging and distressing throughout gives them a distructed look that I have really learned to love! The terrycloth and leather lining makes them REALLY comfortable.
These were my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers and I HIGHLY recommend starting with this style.

4 | Gucci, Rhyton Gucci Logo Leather Sneaker | $890
Designed with a thick sole and bulky construction, the sneaker has a retro influence in leather with a vintage Gucci logo inspired by prints from the 1980s.
5 | Golden Goose, Francy high-top sneakers | $560 also available here
Here’s another pair of covetable Golden Goose sneakers for your collection. These Francy high tops stand out with a creative mix of leopard-print suede, metallic accents, and heavy distressing.
I sized down in this pair.

6| M. Gemi, Palestra Alta Platform | use the discount code: KAT60
I adored the Palestra Minimo so much that I wrote an entire blog post about them.
The Palestra Alta Platform has a little extra volume and everything you love about the low-profile version (sleek, minimal design and less-is-more details), with added height and a raised platform sole for a punch of trending street-style for the Gen Z kids. These are the most comfortable sneaker yet and perfect for travel. I wear them 24/7.
