👟 Sneaker Trends 2025 in Switzerland – What you're wearing now
by SN – Münstergasse 24, Zurich
The Swiss sneaker world is experiencing an exciting phase in 2025. Between retro, designer collaborations, and functional everyday models, a clear style is emerging that is both urban and high-quality. Whether in Zurich, Basel, Bern, or Lucerne – clean silhouettes, high-quality materials, and eye-catching details dominate everywhere. In this article, you'll learn which sneakers will set the tone this year – and which models you should definitely keep an eye on.
🔁 Retro runner with style & comfort
Sneakers with a 2000s look remain very much in vogue. Models like the Asics Gel-Kayano 14 , the Gel-1130 , or the New Balance 2002R are not only comfortable in 2025, but also extremely stylish. Their combination of sporty functionality and clean aesthetics makes them the ideal companions for everyday life—whether you're strolling through Zurich or commuting through Lausanne.
The Nike Vomero 5 is also making a strong comeback and is now more than just a running shoe – it is a fashion statement.
⚽️ The adidas Samba is back – everywhere
Few models are as prominent this year as the adidas Samba . Originally an indoor shoe, it has evolved into a streetwear staple. The combination of a classic shape, flat sole, and high-quality leather makes it a favorite throughout Switzerland.
Whether in black and white, beige, or limited special editions – the Samba goes with almost everything. Especially in Zurich and Basel, you'll see it on every corner. If you want one, you'd better be quick: demand is huge.
👟 Streetwear with a design factor: Mihara, Bape & Nocta
By 2025, the boundaries between high fashion and streetwear will be completely blurred. Brands like Maison Mihara Yasuhiro are focusing on creative, distorted soles and eye-catching materials—perfect for those who want something more than just mainstream.
Bape also remains relevant with new collaborations and bold colorways, while Nocta impresses with functional silhouettes like the Nocta Glide – particularly popular with urban sneaker fans in Zurich, Bern and Winterthur.
These models represent a new generation of sneakers: fashion pieces with real character.
👞 Comfortable and stylish: Clarks & Birkenstock on the rise
Sneakers don't always have to be sporty. In 2025, classic brands like Clarks Originals (e.g., Wallabee or Desert Trek) and Birkenstock are also enjoying real success in the streetwear context. The Birkenstock Boston in suede or corduroy is particularly popular – especially in the warmer months, you'll increasingly see it combined with wide-legged trousers or socks in a layered style.
These models show that comfort, style and substance belong together today.
🎨 Subtle colors dominate
Bright colors are a thing of the past – in 2025, muted tones will be the focus. White , beige , gray , and cream-colored sneakers are particularly popular, as they're easy to combine and exude a high-quality look. Models from New Balance , Nike , Asics , and Maison Mihara are embracing this trend and combining it with modern materials like mesh, suede, or ripstop.
Clean, understated – and yet anything but boring.
🌿 Sustainable models are gaining relevance
More and more customers in Switzerland are paying attention to sustainability when making purchases. Brands like Veja , On Running , and certain Nike lines (Move to Zero) rely on recycled materials, vegan leather, and fair production conditions. Birkenstock also scores points with resource-saving materials and durable products.
If you want to not only look good but also act well, you have more choice than ever before.
