I spend a *lot* of time Googling various sneaker designs—both in my spare time and at the office. As a lover of boyish, normcore style, I haven't even set eyes on a pair of heels since 2018. That's all to say: there's no better person to take a shoe-related recommendation from.

If you're looking to get on my level (read: a sneaker-dominated shoe wall that takes up a majority of my bedroom) keep scrolling. Ahead I'm laying out what are sure to be the hottest of hot styles for the upcoming year. Behold: the freshest sneaker trends of 2022.

Of all the sneakers on the internet, a surprisingly large amount can now be found covered in a fluffy sherpa coating. Since it's officially fluffy-clothing season, these babies are a requirement.

I would've put platforms on this list, but I figured that goes without saying. Equally elevated, but architectural styles will be almost as trendy in the next 365 days.
