Sneakers, kicks, tennis shoes, gym shoes, plimsolls — whatever your word of choice is, you know and love 'em. Comfort first, right? But comfy doesn't have to mean boring. While we love our dependable, reliable white kicks, let's be real here — some of them have seen better days. So if you're reading this because you're on the hunt for your next pair of trusty sneakers or looking to upgrade to more trendy shoes for teens, you're in the right place.
There are dozens of incredibly colorful, cute, innovative sneaker styles — like platform sneakers and fuzzy options that might have you reconsidering ordering just another staple pair. Some of these sneakers are subtle, chic, and functional enough to carry you from a gym workout to a coffee run, while others are pure fashion moments that call for a full-on photoshoot to capture the drip forever.
Chloe Baffert, Merchandising and Curation expert at Poshmark, tells Seventeen, "Sneakers offer a fashion flex without sacrificing the comfort we knew and loved during life-at-home times. As we spend more time out and about, we're bringing that comfort with us but pairing with elevated silhouettes and fabrics." Think gym shoes paired with your silkiest slip dress for a fashion moment that feels polished, but not too much. (Pro tip: pair unique sneakers with your homecoming dress if you're waaayyy more comfortable in flat shoes).
"I think it's part of this shift toward experimental but effortless style – a channeling of the off-duty model vibe," says Chloe. "People are excited [about] hanging out with friends, going to music festivals, or traveling. That energy and emotion are showing up in bolder pieces and more eclectic looks and sneakers have become a go-to for achieving that high-to-low, old-and-new or 'clean girl' meets sneakerhead style."
So there you have it — your sneaker obsession is completely valid. According to statistics from Poshmark, sneaker sales have spiked 36% compared to pre-pandemic times. Consider this permission straight from Seventeen to get a little spend-y after reading this list, because we scoured the websites of every trendy sneaker brand on the internet to create a definitive list of the absolute cutest shoes for teens available right now. (Editor's note: Just while writing this story, I've already saved three different pairs to buy later. Oops!)

Steve Madden Women's Maxima Sneaker, Leopard, 6.5
