From the adidas Gazelle to the New Balance 9060, many of the most popular sneaker styles come in colors that work with everything in your closet. The best neutral sneakers are just as comfortable as they are versatile and adaptable. We’ve rounded up the 10 top styles that are a must-have in your closet this year.
Whether you wear them for running or just chilling, you can rock neutral colors like eggshell, stone, biscuit, almond, raven and cinnamon with ease. Neutral colorways let you mix and match outfits and hues without changing your sneakers.
For much of the 2000s, bright neons and loud colors ruled sneaker designs. Brands wanted your sneakers to stand out during your workouts and games. But as sneakers become part of street style and everyday fashion, there’s been a significant shift toward versatile hues that pair with anything.
Nike and New Balance lead the pack with some phenomenal neutral sneakers. But before we get to the big dogs, we want to highlight the best neutral sneakers from brands like adidas, ASICS and more.
The original Samba colorway was simply black and white, and it has stood the test of time decade after decade. But the shoe also comes in an inverse white and black style, as well as contrasting browns, soft cream hues, golds and silvers.
Much like the Samba, the adidas Gazelle comes in ample neutral colorways. The suede texture gives these hues an even softer appearance. From latte brown and cloud grey and faded clay orange, the neutral palettes feel inspired by the earth.
If you need grey lifestyle shoes, the HOKA Clifton 10 is a great shoe to get. They come in ivory and black hues, but the range of greys is impressive. From charcoal and smoke to pewter and steel, the colorways run the grey gamut.
For fans of the chunky “dad shoe” aesthetic, New Balance is the brand to shop at Hibbett. Explore more New Balance dad shoes and learn about the trend on the Hibbett blog, but for now, we’ll highlight the neutral hues that dominate these styles.
The curvy New Balance 9060 comes in elegant colorways that define what a luxury sneaker is. With colorways in hues of ecru, ebony, amber, oak, oat, and ivory, these are creamy shades everyone can wear.
The retro style of the New Balance 574 comes in a range of colors inspired by natural hues. Olive greens and stormy blues are mild enough to categorize as neutral sneakers. But you can also find bone white, chestnut brown, thunder grey and other true neutrals.
Nike’s collection of running shoes features retro trainers and modern sneakers that can easily adapt into neutral colorways. You get the high-fashion palette with advanced sneaker tech for ultimate support and style.
The layered look of the Nike Waffle means you can find these in a range of neutral colorways. Some layer ink black over latte brown and cloud grey, while others combine oak brown with bright white. Whether you want a neutral contrast or monochrome style, we have it.
We love the highly textured and dynamic look of the Nike Vomero 5, and it’s even better in neutral colors. You’ll mostly see this model in chalky grey, linen white, powder white, straw brown and, of course, pure black.
The millennium-era Nike P-6000 running shoe has a feeling that is simultaneously fresh and retro. The robust silhouette comes in hues like gold, silver, beige, ivory, sand and cloud grey. Style them easily with other colors and bring a throwback feel to your outfit.
A true icon in Nike’s lineup, the Nike Air Max 90 blends heritage running style with everyday wearability. Its clean paneling and visible Air unit make it a natural fit for neutral colorways, from soft white and light grey to muted tan and triple black. Whether you lean into subtle tones or mix textures for added depth, this classic silhouette delivers comfort and effortless style that works with just about anything in your rotation.
