If there’s one shoe brand I’ve been seeing editors and influencers wear the most lately, it’s Tory Burch. From the resurgence of the famous Reva ballet flats in the early 2000s to peep-toe pumps, I keep seeing them all over New York. For 2026, it’s the Romi Sport Mary Jane, which Jennifer Lawrence recently wore. According to the designer’s website, the shoe is described as “a modern sneaker-ballet hybrid” and “lightweight and flexible.”
In general, Mary Jane sneakers have been popular for the past few years, with styles like Adidas’ Samba Jane and Onitsuka Tiger’s Mexico 66 TGRS. I also remember the resurgence of vintage Prada sport pairs from the 90s, with Cecilie Bahnsen, Chopova Lovna and Simone Rocha being at the forefront of this. Luxury labels including Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, Marni, Miu Miu, The Attico and Wells Bonner have also introduced their own versions.
As someone who rarely wears Beyond gym sneakers, it brings something new to the market: sneakers that don’t feel like sneakers. In NYC, where I live and move around constantly, they fill a real void in my wardrobe. I love that they bring a sense of femininity while still feeling comfortable and intentional – the perfect shoe for walking.
