2. Flying colours
We may be undecided, but never are we biased to any colour. We love them all and that’s what 2020 street style is about. The White sneakers trend is still a thing but colour is playing a big part this season. There is no sneaker too colourful to sport on campus. From London to Melbourne, 2020 is when street style will be on fire with statement sneakers. Amp up any ensemble with a pair of maximalist sneakers, and watch the compliments pour in all year long.

4. The Super Collabs
From Kanye West to Stan Smith, don’t we just love when two creative houses come together to create a mastermind piece? Streetwear labels teaming up with luxury brands are giving us the best sneaker collaborations of all time. The capsule collection from a resulting collaboration between Dior and Air Jordan has got us flabbergasted, to say the least. Onitsuka Tiger x Valentino has enhanced the importance of the power of colour in street fashion. Worn by the likes of the Beastie Boys, the 1969 Adidas Superstar sneaker is getting an Italian spinoff with Prada. The result – 700 limited edition shoes. These collabs have our heart and hopefully our pockets too.

5. Oh my god! We are so retro
Suede and canvas are making a comeback? Shut up and take my money. We miss those 70s designer logos, loose T-shirts, bell-bottom jeans and vibrant colourways. Well, what goes around comes around and everything old is new again. Childhood nostalgia will reappear with velcro shoes and cartoon prints. Accompanied by modern silhouettes and retro designer logos, 2020 is bringing back high-top style kicks. Yes, the streets will never forget how every kid rocked Chuck Taylors.
