Green Is the Color of Spring & These Sneakers Are Proof
Green is the archetypal spring color. It represents renewal, freshness, and a great number of fire sneaker releases of late. As well as it being a seasonal play, green is a really versatile color, slotting effortlessly into rotations and styling well with all colors while also offering a vibrant pop to your fits. Indeed, the 550s from this lineup, albeit in red (obvs) were recently seen infamously on Tay Tay herself.
Below, we’ve put together some of the best green sneakers to wear this year. Ranging from New Balance to Nike and adidas, the selection represents the finest names in footwear. Alongside these giants, look out for highlight collaborations from the likes of Aimé Leon Dore and Off-White™.

Nike Jordan 1 Retro High OG Lucky Green
The Jordan 1 had a seriously strong run over the last few years and while the hype isn't what it was, there are still colorways creating waves. This Lucky Green iteration is the most eye-catching drop for a while, and it's perfectly aligned with spring.
Nike Jordan 4 Retro SB Pine Green
Continually overlooked, the Jordan 4 is an easy way to cop heat without the danger of blending in. This Pine Green version feels like a vintage special with a beautiful gum outsole to boot.
New Balance 550
Taylor Swift recently rocked a pair of these at Kelce's game. Take the trend and twist it to your favor. Green is the opposite to her preferred bright red colorway - for those who choose to go their own way, this is ideal.
Nike Dunk Low AS Safari Swoosh Chlorophyll
Spring-ready Chlorophyll-hued suede overlays characterize the upper of this Dunk Low. Add in a sprinkle of flair in the form of a safari Swoosh, and you've got a serious eye-catcher.
Nike Jordan 1 Retro High OG Gorge Green
One of the major attractions of green sneakers is the variety in the color itself. In this roundup alone, there are a handful of different shades of green, each with its own personality. This Gorge Green version is dialed-back while the silver Swoosh raises the tone.
Nike Dunk Low SE Lottery Pack Malachite Green
Up there with the best greens on offer this season is Malachite Green. The slightly blueish tone of this hue works perfectly with the white base.
adidas Campus 00s Forest Glade
If you're on the hunt for a Samba replacement this spring, look to the adidas Campus 00s. This beefed up classic is striking yet versatile, slotting naturally into the Y2K trend.
Nike Jordan 1 Elevate Low SE Lucky Green
If you pumped up the sole unit of a Jordan 1 Low, the result would be something like the Jordan 1 Elevate. This Lucky Green version is topped up by a decorative chain complete with four-leaf clovers.
Nike Air Force 1 Mid Off-White™ Pine Green
Nike's partnership with Off-White™ is not to be trifled with. Easily the most influential sneaker collaboration around, it continues to push the envelope with silhouette adjustments like this spiky take on the Air Force 1.
New Balance 860v2 Aimé Leon Dore Green
Aimé Leon Dore has renovated the New Balance 860v2. The latest collaboration between the two titans takes a decisively minimal tack, giving a performance silhouette a more style-forward look.
