Our Summer Sneakers Rotation

No one wants to be stomping around in heavy footwear when it’s 40 degrees outside. Sandals do get all the love this season when in the region, but a solid pair of sneakers is essential for our travels.

This list? It’s what we’ve been eyeing (and wearing). Sneakers that are breathable, good-looking, and comfortable enough to carry you through summer plans that include loads of walking around. Some pair well with micro skirts and some with jorts, but they’re all comfortable and will help get through the summer holidays. Here are Cake The Mag’s favourites.

adidas Tokyo

A quiet flex. This sleek pair leans into minimalism with just enough contrast to still make a statement. Easy to wear, hard to forget. Shop here.

ASICS Skyhand OG

Serving major indoor-court-energy. These bring a vintage sports vibe without feeling dated. You’ll want to build your outfit around them. Shop here.

HOKA x MAAP Tecton X2

Trail-core with a high-tech edge. Lightweight, responsive, and stylish enough to transition from morning hike to late lunch. Shop here.

Miu Miu Plume

Weirdly perfect. Mesh, suede, and Miu Miu branding come together in a sneaker that looks delicate but performs. Luxe meets effortless. Shop here.

New Balance 990v6

A timeless essential. The 990v6 blends heritage running style with modern comfort, making it the perfect everyday pair—especially when you want to look put together without trying too hard. Shop here.

Old-school cool. A low-profile sneaker that somehow always feels current. Bonus: they’re surprisingly comfortable for all-day wear. Shop here.

PUMA Mostro Performance

These came back, and we’re glad they did. The Mostro is low, fast-looking, and unlike anything else on the street right now. Shop here.

Reebok Club C LTD

A classic for a reason. If you like your sneakers crisp, clean, and a little preppy, these will be your go-to. Shop here.

Salomon XT-4 OG
