I love a boot, but for the same reason I’m partial to a ballet flat, I need to have a sneaker in my life for comfort and ease. And before the streets pile up with snow and waterproof boots become my only option for survival in NYC, I need to make the most of this crisp fall forecast and break out the kicks. That said, my sneaker game could use an upgrade.
Whether I go classic with an Adidas Samba or lean experimental with a metallic lo-pro sneaker, I can trust my soles will be protected all day. Scroll on to shop the best sneakers for fall 2026, from Adidas to Puma to Nike. PS: I threw in some outfit inspiration, if you find yourself in need.
