According to Experts, Hailey Bieber’s $220 Sneakers Were the Year’s Most Popular

Surprise, surprise: Hailey Bieber wore something that everyone wants, and this time, I’m not just saying that—I have the data to back it up. On Tuesday, the model posted a slideshow on Instagram that displayed her posing outside in L.A. wearing a vintage jersey-style tee from Springy Jeans, a 23 Lux leather bomber jacket, red socks, and a pair of blue sneakers from the fastest-growing sneaker brand of the year.

To be specific, Bieber is wearing a blue-and-red pair of XT-4 Low-Top sneakers from Salomon, a French sportswear brand that received fashion’s official stamp of approval in recent years, with sightings on the likes of Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski and placements on the runway at Sandy Liang’s spring/summer 2022 and MM6 Maison Margiela’s spring/summer 2023 shows. This transition away from strictly practical, sports-driven footwear has led the brand to skyrocket in popularity at the luxury sneaker reseller StockX, where Salomon saw a jump of more than 2,000% (2,277% specifically) in year-over-year trades, according to the brand’s 2023 Current Culture Index

With such rapid growth in popularity, though, arrives the issue of sell outs, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a brand more commonly sold out than Salomon. And yet, Bieber’s exact pair is miraculously still available in plenty of sizes for both men and women at Saks Fifth Avenue—for now. Below, shop the style while you still can.

The fact that these are in stock in so many sizes is baffling to me.

These will never not be popular. 

Since every pair of Sambas on adidas.com is sold out, may I introduce to you the most beautiful, expensive-loooking pair of Gazelles I’ve ever seen? 

Currently obsessing over this shade of green.

Hoka was StockX’s second fastest-growing brand of the year. 

These are rarely in stock. 

The perfect fashion-casual sneaker. 

Beloved by the Olsens and EmRata.

This color scheme really speaks to me. 

Prepare for the return of the Forum.

We love a sneaker that’s good for hard workouts and casual walks.

If I wasn’t such a Ferrari fan, I’d have bought these McLaren APLs in every color.
