As soon as the warm days knock, sneakers become particularly interesting again. This year, those with platform soles are making their big appearance. Here are the most beautiful models at a glance.
Even if the spring temperatures don’t want to say goodbye completely, the sun shows up in the sky every now and then and gives us the first summer feelings. That also means that Winter shoes and lined sneakers are allowed to go to the back of the wardrobe and we can put our feet in bright white sneakers without hesitation. One detail should not be missing in the summer of 2023.
Sneaker trend 2023: platform sneakers
It’s back, but actually it was never completely gone. Because even on robust chunky boots, such as the popular Dr. Martens, it was already recognizable in winter: the platform sole. It should not be missing in the summer either and optically stretches our beautiful legs. Well-known brands have already recognized the trend and given their classics a sole update. Here we present the five most beautiful sneakers with platform soles, which you can shop for directly.
1. Superga sneaker with thick sole
Superga’s platform sneakers are a true classic. Even Duchess Kate swears by the simple sneakers and wears them on almost every suitable occasion. The sneakers come in all imaginable colors and shapes – there is something for every taste. This year we are focusing on the simple, white model with a thick sole.
2. Converse Chucks with platform soles
Converse Chucks will always be part of our wardrobe too. We love the laced fabric shoes especially with jeans and summer dresses. There are now also models with a platform sole. The black version in particular is worth every penny and even forgives a few raindrops in April.
3. Nike Blazer with a thick sole
The Nike Blazer high-top sneakers have had their big appearance in recent years. But now they are being thrown off the throne. Fashion experts do without the ankle-high model and make room for the Nike Blazer as a low sneaker with a thick sole.
4. Platform sneaker by Boden
If you like to wear simple sneakers that are not made of fabric, you can take a closer look at Boden’s platform sneakers. They are made of leather and have a sole thickness of 3.5 centimeters. The legs are optimally stretched.
5. Vans with platform soles
Our beloved Vans are also available with platform soles. There is no loss of convenience. The checkerboard model, which is so typical of Vans, is also available with a thicker sole – so the choice is huge.
How to combine platform sneakers?
The special thing about platform sneakers is that they can be combined with almost any look. Whether it’s jeans, chinos, a skirt or dress – the sneakers with high soles give every outfit that certain something. Our favorite combo for summer 2023: mom jeans, t-shirt, blazer and platform sneakers.
