2026 Footwear Trends: What’s In, What’s Out & What’s Emerging

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of footwear and why sneakers never truly die, they just cycle. We explore everything from the shifting sneaker market to the emerging 2026 trends like mesh mules. If you've ever wondered why a single photo of Margot Robbie can change the entire shoe market, or how Kylie Jenner built a sneaker collection worth three-quarters of a million dollars, this is the episode for you.
