Move over, ballet sneakers. There's a new cute sneaker trend taking over our feed (and feet)! Mary Janes, another classic feminine and delicate shoe, are getting a modern and sporty revamp in the form of sneakers. 

Starting during the early 20th century as a classic girls' school shoe, Mary Janes are characterized by their low-top profile, square toe, and a strap over the middle. They became the modern platform version we're familiar with today in the 90s, when they became popular for their patent leather design and styling versatility. 

Flash forward to now, ballet sneakers have brought a whole new world of cute sneakers into existence. The Mary Jane sneaker trend is just beginning, and we're sure it'll continue throughout the rest of the year. We're predicting we'll see even more brands coming out with their own versions during the fall, when Mary Janes naturally shine. Still, there are plenty to choose from now! 

The best Mary Jane sneakers to get to participate in this trend really depend on your personal style. There's a spectrum of styles to consider with this trend that goes from very sporty (sneakers) to very feminine (flats)—and of course, there's something in between that combines both styles.

While we recommend a well-known brand like Puma or Adidas (which has gone viral on TikTok), there are also plenty of sneakers for those looking for something more affordable. Below are some of our favorites. 

These slip-on Mary Jane sneakers are the perfect balance of cute and sporty, with their suede upper, elasticized strap, rubber insole, comfortable cushioned midsole, and signature brand details. 

Looking for something a little more vintage? These Mary Jane sneakers come in a variety of colorways and feature a soft supportive upper, cushioned insole, adjustable double straps, and scalloped edge detailing. 

While Adidas' Barreda Mary Jane Flats come in plenty of shades, our hearts were captured by this pastel dusty pink. Plus, it features an extra-low profile, cross straps, and a traditional T-toe top. 

Looking for something a little more neutral and simple? These delicate Mary Jane sneakers by Vans have a rounded toe, an adjustable strap, and a unique textured woven upper in a cream shade that goes with every outfit. 

For Converse fans, these ultra-low-top canvas Mary Jane sneakers are perfect for you, featuring slender adjustable buckle straps, an OrthoLite footbed, a textile upper, and a classic white rubber sole. 

Glossy, chic, and sporty, the Adidas Originals Samba Jane sneakers come in a variety of neutral, bold, and pastel shades. It also features an adjustable hook-and-loop velcro strap, a smooth satin synthetic lining, and a rubber outsole.

Another Mary Jane sneaker with a loop velcro strap, this affordable option also comes in seven colorways and is made with a leather upper, memory foam insole, and a non-slip rubber sole.

These Reebok Mary Jane sneakers have a delicate ballet slipper feel, with their pastel shade options, satin upper, suede detailing, ultra-low profile, and adjustable loop strap.
