Suede Sneakers 2025: Puma, Nike, Saye Sneaker Collage
Anthropologie/Nike

Suede sneakers have been taking over our social feeds lately—so much so that PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint called out the style as a trend to watch in 2025. I'm certainly not complaining. Who would when we're talking about comfortable styles that add a touch of luxe to everyday outfits?

While there's no shortage of sporty-chic suede options out there (from these Jennifer Lawrence-loved Pumas to these fashionista-favorite Adidas kicks), I scoured the internet for a few cool-girl-approved pairs that all come in at less than $200, so you can take on the trend without breaking the bank.

If you're on the hunt for a classic suede sneaker, you can't go wrong with this pair from Nike that's a favorite of tons of PureWow readers. They have a comfy fit thanks to the wide toe bed, foam insole and firm side panels—plus, you can customize them with a bunch of different color options if you want to create a pair that will stand out from the crowd.

Personally, I have my eye on these stylish vegan suede sneakers from Saye. I adore the sporty details on the side, and the classic black and white color scheme will go with almost everything in my closet. If you're feeling more adventurous with your color choice though, don't pass up the blue and yellow pair that comes with trendy leopard-print laces.

SeaVees sneakers are beloved by tons of celebs like Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kelly Rutherford, and after testing out a pair of these suede-accented Acorn trainers myself, I can definitely see why. The design feels stylish enough that I can easily wear them from a day running errands to a casual dinner—not to mention the memory foam footbed that keeps them feeling comfy through the day.

Shoppers can't stop raving over these '90s-inspired Adidas Gazelle sneakers, which I've been spotting on fashionistas all over my TikTok feed for months now. "I bought these for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves them. The quality is amazing, and she says they are very comfortable. I want a pair for myself," writes one happy buyer. Just note that, according to the retailer, these sneakers do run slightly large, so you might want to consider sizing down.

I can't get enough of the unique mixed-media design of these sneakers from Blowfish Malibu that feature fab faux suede detailing, along with pops of color and retro vibes. They're made with a cushy foam insole that you're sure to appreciate on long days about town, and are available in a few different color combos to choose from.

If you're looking for another celeb-approved style, don't skip this pair from Puma that's been seen on both Jennifer Lawrence and Dua Lipa. Shoppers adore their lightweight design and throwback aesthetic. One reviewer writes, "I wore these for many years and was super stoked when they came back...I actually think they're a little tight in the toe bed but that's just Pumas in general. They look super cool with athleisure." Psst: These are actually set to become *the* it sneakers of 2025, so I suggest grabbing a pair while you still can.

Wanna nail two trends in one? Allow me to introduce you to this stunning pair of sneaks from Gola that also nods to the metallic trend in a totally wearable way. Besides matching nearly anything thanks to the gray and gold hues, the shoes are made with a lightly padded footbed your feet will love while you're getting your daily steps in.

Veja is always a good bet for high-quality footwear that feels stylish but not overstated—and this Campo pair is no exception. The low-top cut means you can easily pair them with anything from jeans to dresses, plus the rubber sole will give you some traction while you're out and about.
