If you haven't already embraced the sneaker trend, it's about time that you did.

For the past few summers, fashion's It girls and elite have been swapping out their ballet flats and heels for classic pairs of kicks, such as Adidas Superstars and Stan Smiths, Converse Chuck Taylors and Nike Flyknits.

Just look at Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid for proof:

And as much as we love these timeless sneakers, there are plenty of other pretty dope styles from our fave brands that deserve some attention, too. The best part is, not many people are rocking these pairs yet, so you'll be ahead of the crowd when it comes to wearing the coolest styles.

So if you're ready to break some necks the next time you walk down the street, shop our fave cool summer sneakers below!
