Burgundy is the new neutral. You’ve seen the rich red color everywhere lately, but have you added the versatile colorway to your footwear rotation? Over the past few seasons of runway collections, trendsetting fashion houses have rapidly embraced the red colorway — such as Gucci’s new signature color Rosso Ancora — and shown it’s ability to pair perfectly with neutrals, black, neons and pastels. On TikTok, well over 8 million posts feature styling tips and red-hot releases of “burgundy shoes”, many of which include top sneaker brands and your favorite athletic shoe styles dipped in the deep red hue that range from burgundy to maroon.
The fashion set might have been first to the burgundy sneaker trend — especially sporting the popular adidas SL72 shoes that featured a punch of burgundy red — but now, you can find styles from New Balance, Nike, Vans and more in the color of the moment. Adidas’s maroon Gazelles might be available still in limited sizing, but the brand’s new SNS x adidas GT11 style won’t last on the shoe shelves for long, just like its recent collaboration with Song for the Mute that gave the Country OG a splash of deep red with a rich, textural mix of mohair, velvet, suede and patent leather details. Back in late October, MaroonNYC and Ceeze debuted a limited-edition New Balance 580 shoe with a croc-embossed texture that came with a heavy price tag, but you can still snag 574s, 1906Rs and styles from the 990 series in the must-have burgundy colorway. Many more retro-inspired classics are also getting the rich red treatment at Nike, including Dunk Lows, Air Jordan 1s, Air VaporMax Plus shoes, and Air Force 1 styles, along with modern classics like the P-6000 sneakers.
Beloved sneaker brands like APL are all serving up burgundy sneakers that made it to the top of our wish lists, but for those with cash to burn, designer sneakers like Maison Margiela Replica low-tops with complimentary gum soles have been some of the most coveted kicks for fashion-forward fans this year. Even Loewe gave their Flow Runners a burgundy boost of color. Coach, Rag & Bone, Prada, Tods, and many more all offer rich red casual shoes to fit everyone’s style and budget.

Whether you’re looking for a touch of the autumunal color on fresh white sneakers or are in the market for a full-bodied vino drip of your go-to sneaker styles, we curated the best burgundy sneakers you’ll want to compliment your fits this season.
I purchased a pair a couple months ago and simply adore how they add retro flair to classic wardrobe staples. The narrow sneaker silhouette makes these burgundy sneakers ideal for straight-leg trousers and jeans.
