IMO, Styling Fall's Coolest Color Combination Starts With These Sneakers

It's not every season that color trends speak to me, but Fall 2025 collections are inspiring me to have a bit more fun with my usual hues. Between Instagram, Pinterest, and what my fellow editors are wearing around the office, it is clear that one combination in particular is a favorite for fall: Chocolate brown, baby blue, and butter yellow. This trio is neutral enough not to intimidate the quiet-luxury, stealth-wealth, or all-black dresser. But if you feel even mildly hesitant about trying it out, the best place to start is with footwear. There's no need to run out and buy an entire new outfit to participate in this trend; adidas sneakers will do the trick. Here are nine of my favorite styles, including the Tokyo, Japan, and SL 72s.

The texture of these add a cool dimensional element to your look.

In case you want a double whammy of print and color trend.

Arguably my favorite colorway of the Tokyo Shoes.

If you like shiny things.

Okay, while this isn't technically chocolate brown, it still looks beautiful with baby blue and butter yellow.
