What kind of sneakers are "in" right now?
I need to get new sneakers, as mine have holes in them, and I'm traveling soon (so I need something comfortable for lots of walking). I'm currently wearing Stan Smiths, which are comfortable, and I could just replace those. But I'd rather mix it up and get something else. So what are people wearing now? What's popular? What's in?
Thanks!

Forgot to mention: I generally only wear the same pair of shoes, so ideally it's something versatile and simple to go with most if not all outfits. Though I generally don't wear anything vibrant or out-there, so it's probably not that big a deal
Stan Smith's are a bit dated at this point. The closest 1:1 to 'current' trends would probably be GATs or maybe Sambas.
In terms of sneakers, I've seen a lot of people wearing NB 550s and the Sambas, but I'm not too big on what's currently in for sneakers either.
edit: I have personally worn 550s for dance purposes if comfort and mobility is a concern
Comfortable for walking + fashionable I cant recommend new balance enough
990v1, 990v2, 574, 2002, 996, 997, 998, 991
its all gonna depend on your personal style and what you want to wear them with
ups also on adidas sambas and gazelles
Nike I'd say Air Max 1, 90, 95, 97
there are so many colorways for all of these shoes that its hard to say which are in or out at any time
but find some that you like which play well with your clothing aesthetic and rock them
confidence is more important than anything else
cheers
Onitsuka Tigers are getting really big in Japan
Thanks for the advice everyone! I went with the NB 550s
I saw that they shut down in the US. My gf ebayed a nice pair from Japan but they were pricey.
